The answer to this problem is better wireless headphones

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because what lithium ion battery last forever? They're well degraded after a few years.

[–] originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So stop using electronics? We’re talking about a phone with its own batteries. I understand your point but Fairphone can’t solve every sustainability and e-waste problem with a single device. Not buying this phone, assuming you buy a different, less sustainable phone, is a net negative.

[–] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The phone has a removable battery. Not one that you need to break the device apart and unsolder everything to get to it, like almost all headphones.

[–] originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Again, this is an argument for better headphones.

[–] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well tell that to Fairphone, they're only selling shitty e-waste ones instead of providing a headphone jack.

But do let me know who is making in-ear earphones with a removable battery. Not massive over the head cows. Portable earphones.

They could create less e-waste by including a headphone jack and not removing it cause they wanna sell their own wireless headphones. Its a simple money move. And I don't wanna support a company like that even if in theory their message is just.

[–] originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s also in keeping with the entire industry. “I don’t want to use a USB-C dongle” isn’t a principled stance

I've made plenty of other good points for why the headphone jack should be still included.

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

So use a AAA or something like my old pair did. We just need better Bluetooth headphones.
