But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don’t do this not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

    In my experience 30 bucks is a terrible price range for in-ears or headphones, mostly Chinese garbage that fails after a few months, maybe a year or two tops, even with just light usage. My current ones were at around 100 bucks and already outlived my previous cheap ones by quite a bit. That being said, FairPhone is kinda well known for being overpriced in regards to cost vs quality too, at least with their phones.
