So you basically said there's no need for fair wired headphones because cheap 20€ chinese wired ones perfectly serve that market?

Even better that fairphone builds true wireless earbuds with all those fair features, because there is no alternative there already.

That's a strawman and you know it. OP basically said that we want 3.5mm jacks.

[–] sour@feddit.de -3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

On true wireless earbuds? How?

[–] laughterlaughter@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No, no. We want 3.5mm jacks for wired earphones. Whether there is a fairphone version of wired earphones or not is irrelevant.

The whole thread is about earbuds?! Where do jacks on phones come in all of a sudden?

[–] laughterlaughter@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Then why are you commenting on this "irrelevant" sub-thread?

[–] sour@feddit.de -1 points 7 months ago

The post is about true wireless earbuds The comment is about how lemmy makes it about jacks and wired earphones for no reason The counter point is that wired earphones last decades I said that the market for them is already satisfied, while those are the first fair true wireless ones, which is great

Now how is it irrelevant? I seriously don't understand what the problem is, and I also don't know what kind of strawman I apparently made
