Editorial note

The Fairphone Fairbuds XL stand out for their sustainable design, being made from recycled materials, which reflects a strong commitment to the environment. The immersive audio experience is enhanced by dynamic drivers and active noise cancellation technology, providing high-quality sound reproduction. Additionally, the versatile connectivity with multiple voice assistants such as Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Siri simplifies everyday use. However, some drawbacks are worth mentioning. The charging time of 180 minutes may seem long compared to other faster earbud models. Furthermore, although their weight of 330 g is designed for comfortable use, it might be considered a bit heavy for extended listening sessions. The IP54 rating, while useful against moisture and dust, may not be suitable for very humid environments or water activities. Finally, the price of the Fairbuds XL is relatively high, which could deter some buyers looking for more economical options. In terms of performance, the user experience is overall positive, with a score of 85 for connectivity and excellent audio quality at 80. The battery life of 26 to 30 hours is respectable, although some heavy users may find it insufficient, receiving a score of 75. The design, while modern, scores 70 due to the weight, and durability is appreciated with a score of 70 for resistance. Finally, the value for money is rated at 65, highlighting concerns about the price-to-quality ratio. In summary, the Fairphone Fairbuds XL are a solid option for those seeking an immersive and responsible audio experience, but some aspects like weight and price may need to be considered before purchase.
