You need a analysis to tell you that products with user replaceable batteries are more sustainable than those with glued in batteries?

- jdietrich 3y agoI'd wager that a small single-digit percentage of Fairbuds customers will ever buy a replacement battery. Very few earbuds will reach the end of the battery's useful life before being lost or damaged beyond economical repair.
- Yodel0914 3y agoIndeed. I go through a pair of TWS every 12-24 months - so far that has never been because of battery life. It's 20% dropping/damagingand 80% losing one of the earbuds.
- aix1 3y ago> 80% losing one of the earbuds Given that Fairbuds would sell you a single earbud, that's already an improvement over buying a new set, right?
- Rinzler89 3y ago>I'd wager that a small single-digit percentage of Fairbuds customers will ever buy a replacement battery. We're talking about the sustainability of the products design since that's what the manufacturer can control, not the behavior of the customers which the manufacturer can't control.
- kaba0 3y agoSmaller batteries have less ways to go wrong.
- wilg 3y agoYes! Especially because that’s not the only factor in sustainability.
- hot_gril 3y agoThe Fairbuds retail for more, and I'd wager they have smaller margins, so the cost is much higher. That alone implies a higher environmental cost upfront.
