Fairphone’s Fairbuds 2 are second-generation true-wireless earbuds built around repairability. They add Sony LDAC, hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC), Bluetooth 6.0 and a lighter modular construction with seven replaceable parts. Fairphone lists a recommended price of €119 in Europe and $119 on its US product page; the US page currently says “coming soon,” while Fairphone’s launch announcement plans US sales for November 2026 through Fairphone.com and selected partners.
What is new in Fairbuds 2?
The headline change is a broader feature set without abandoning Fairphone’s repair-first design. Fairbuds 2 support Sony’s LDAC higher-bitrate Bluetooth codec alongside AAC, SBC and LC3, and use Bluetooth 6.0. LDAC can transmit more audio data than basic Bluetooth codecs, but both the source phone and earbuds must support it. Fairphone says the improved LDAC implementation is currently available on Android devices.

Noise reduction is now hybrid ANC, with Fairphone claiming up to 45 dB of improved noise cancelling. That figure is a manufacturer specification, not an independent measurement of real-world isolation. The earbuds use 11 mm bio-cellulose dynamic drivers.

|---|---|---|
| Fairbuds 2, ANC off | Up to 8 hours | Up to 40 hours total |

What can owners replace?
Each Fairbuds 2 earbud and the charging case use user-replaceable batteries. Fairphone’s FAQ says replacement is tool-free and glue-free, so routine battery renewal does not require specialist equipment or adhesive work. The design has seven replaceable parts, allowing owners to replace worn components instead of discarding the complete set.
Published replacement prices
- Earbud battery kit: €9.95.
- Charging-case battery replacement: €12.95.
- Fairphone also offers a replacement case core and an individual replacement earbud.
Those prices are Fairphone’s listed figures and may vary by market, tax and availability. Buying a single earbud or case component can also be useful when one part is lost or damaged, but compatibility and current stock should be confirmed in the store for your region.

Connectivity, codecs and controls
- Bluetooth: Bluetooth 6.0.
- Codecs: LDAC, AAC, SBC and LC3.
- Multipoint: Fairphone’s published Fairbuds 2 material should be checked for the exact supported device combinations before purchase; it does not confirm a multipoint specification.
LDAC is not automatically higher quality in every setup. A compatible Android source is needed for the improved LDAC performance Fairphone describes, and Bluetooth conditions, source settings and the streaming service affect the result. Devices that do not support LDAC can still connect using AAC, SBC or LC3 where supported.
Water resistance and durability information
Fairphone’s Fairbuds 2 specifications supplied for this announcement do not state a water-resistance rating. Do not assume an IP rating from the repairable construction alone; verify the rating on the regional product page before using the earbuds for exercise or in wet conditions.

Sustainability claims
Fairphone says Fairbuds 2 contain approximately 46% fair and recycled materials, have a PFAS-free exterior and are 100% e-waste neutral. These are manufacturer claims. “Fair” and “recycled” material percentages describe Fairphone’s accounting for the product; they are not an independent certification of every component. The replaceable-battery approach can extend usable life, but long-term environmental benefit still depends on owners replacing parts and recycling retired batteries and electronics properly.

The specifications establish the feature set and repair provisions, not listening performance. Independent testing is still needed to judge sound tuning, microphone and call quality, comfort, wind handling and how effectively the hybrid ANC works in buses, offices or aircraft. Fairphone’s 45 dB figure should therefore be read as a claimed specification rather than a guarantee of a particular real-world experience.
