Plenty of the best headphones claim that they can be repaired, but very few can be taken apart and rebuilt at home so that you can replace broken bits. Most require a trip back to the manufacturer, so that experienced repairers can fix them, or you just get sent a new pair.
Not so with the Fairbuds XL, the latest version of Fairphones over-ear headphones. They're an upgraded version of the previous model, with improved sound, a more comfortable fit, and even a USB-C audio mode. They're also completely repairable, with their parts available from the Fairphone website. But none of that matters if they're not good headphones — and thankfully, they are.
