I never have to charge my wired headphones.
Nor do I have to buy new batteries or new headphones when they die.

Edit: Time for the real reply.
I never have to charge my wired headphone.
But you still have to charge your phone. When I charge my phone I also charge my headphones. Most wireless headphones notify you in advance when they're running low, in my experience enough in advance to not run out before charging again. And finally, charging even once a day is still less overhead than having to manage wires every single time you use the headphones.
Nor do I have to buy new batteries or new headphones when they die
Yeah, you only buy new headphones when the wire gets damaged because that one time you didn't take good enough care of the wire. I personally had to buy a new set of headphones every year because I'm bad with wires. I'd either store them poorly because I was in a hurry or they'd get stuck on something and get yanked. My first BT headphones lasted me 5 years before starting to have noticeable battery issues and then I still used them for another 3 years before the battery was so dead it wouldn't live my daily commute.
overall my response boils down to "just use wired then" because the arguments are silly personal preference arguments and the wider consumer market has already decided that wireless is better. But if you want wired nothing is stopping you from getting USB-C wired headphones.

Parts being available doesn't necessarily mean they're being manufactured. It just means there is unsold stock.
schrieb am 25. Juni 2025, 20:30 zuletzt editiert vonSo they should overproduce just in case? All I care about as a consumer is that I can buy replacement parts.

vpn is on the right, yeah. but this is with just one sim:
with two i get another signal strength and wifi calling symbol. it's already collapsing them when not on the quick setting screen, which is very frustrating.

If they are all about swappable parts, and being able to upgrade your phone how you want ... Shouldn't this just be a module upgrade... Of the main part? Maybe I don't understand it ... At the very least the old parts should work with the new system right? Unless something major has changed.

I dont understand Fairphone, flashy hardware with poor software security and awful sustainability (they stop selling parts quickly).

So... they chose to make a very Pixel-specific OS and you're mad at Fairphone?
schrieb am 25. Juni 2025, 21:00 zuletzt editiert von dreamlandlividity@lemmy.worldIt's not about being pixel specific. They built high security OS that uses HW components to deliver that high security. It can't be delivered without them. These components are not google patented nor does GrapheneOS demands they use the exact pixel ones. GrapheneOS just refuses to lower security to support phones that lack these components, because manufacturers wanted to save maybe a $1 per phone by not including them at the expense of user security.

Yes, that foxxcon. The one that has better reviews on Glassdoor then the company that assembles Fairphone. What's your point?

All I needed to know was when they released their BT earbuds just when the jack port got removed to figure out where their priorities are.

How is that a bad thing? About 90% of other brands you can throw them away if the battery goes bad or they break.

Phones with 3.5mm jacks also have BT, and don't start about USBC singles, that's more to buy and more landfill when they inevitable break.

I have to buy them? Every replaceable and repairable stuff is manufactured and has an impact.

I don't have any of those, for related reasons.
The best one can do is to consume less and less often.Buying a USB-C-2-Jack dongle or BT headset is anything but eco-friendly. It goes straight against the whole brand if you need to buy new stuff in addition to make it work.

Just out of interest, because I too love the jack, then what are you buying in the future?

What about the internal connectors of the headphone jack?

I would totally buy one of these if they were sold in the US. Sadly, last time I checked the newest phone wasn't sold here. So I doubt this one will be.

schrieb am 25. Juni 2025, 21:52 zuletzt editiert vonI hear you! Though I don't mind the lack of a 3.5 mm jack¹, it is still an anti-feature, and I fully agree that the TWS style of in-ears are antithetical to the repairability ethos. It's especially bad when they sell one themselves.
Until Linux phones reliably support 5G communications with major carriers (this is a kernel driver issue for modems), I'm going to run with my current phone until it crumbles... Or at least until someone comes out with an actual modular phone where the mainboard can just be swapped as with desktops and Framework laptops.
¹I use a very high quality "dongle" DAC (Moonriver 2) and it gives me a cleaner, lower impedance, higher power output than any phone's on-board audio can. If I'm going to be using wired headphones, might as well go all the way.
