"The new Fairbuds XL look similar to the originals but feature an updated design with more comfortable fabrics and improved sound thanks to new drivers. What's most interesting about these is that thanks to Fairphone's commitment to modular hardware, some of the improvements are backward-compatible. That way, owners of the first-gen Fairbuds XL can upgrade them with better sound without replacing them entirely."
"The new Fairbuds XL are launching with an updated and sleeker design that now uses breathable mesh fabrics on the headband and ear cushions, which Fairphone says "enhances comfort during long listening sessions." Features like IP54 dust and water resistance, a USB-C charging port, a dedicated ANC button, and a small joystick for controlling playback and volume have been carried forward, while the two color options, now called forest green and horizon black, have been deepened to give the Fairbuds XL a more premium appearance."
"Fairphone says the new headphones also have better sound thanks to "new 40 millimeter dynamic drivers" and "refined audio tuning," but the Bluetooth connectivity remains limited to AAC, SBC, and aptX HD. The battery is still replaceable alongside eight other modular components that can be swapped to prolong the life of the headphones, but battery life still tops out at 30 hours, which is reduced if you're using ANC."
Fairbuds XL adopt a sleeker design with breathable mesh fabrics on the headband and ear cushions to enhance comfort during long listening sessions. They retain IP54 dust and water resistance, a USB-C charging port, a dedicated ANC button, and a small joystick for playback and volume control. New 40 millimeter dynamic drivers and refined audio tuning improve sound, while Bluetooth codecs remain AAC, SBC, and aptX HD. The battery is replaceable and one of nine modular components, with up to 30 hours of playback reduced when ANC is active. Global sales start at $229, with driver units sold separately.
