Deception
(70%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Fairbuds are a pair of true wireless earbuds that look like Samsung's Galaxy Buds. However, this statement is false as the outermost surface on both sides of the buds is not a controller but rather an action button and status light respectively. Secondly, while it is stated that Fairphone promises six hours of battery life on a charge with an extra 20 hours nestled inside the case, there are no specifications provided for these claims. Thirdly, although it is mentioned that Fairbuds have ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), multipoint connectivity and an IP54 rating for sweat and water resistance, none of these features are highlighted in the article as being unique or superior to other true wireless earbuds on the market. Lastly, while it is stated that Fairphone claims to offer improved pay for factory workers compared to rival manufacturers and works with suppliers to improve working conditions for the people on the production line, there is no evidence provided in this article of these claims.

However, this statement is misleading as it implies that other earphones do not have replaceable batteries when in fact most modern wireless earbuds have interchangeable parts such as charging cases and earpads.

Thirdly, the author mentions that all other components of the earphones can be replaced but does not provide specific details about which parts can be swapped out and how easy it is to do so.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Fairbuds are repairable and meant to last unlike other TWS earbuds. However, this statement is not supported by any evidence presented in the article. The only information provided about their durability comes from a three-year warranty offered by Fairphone which does not necessarily mean they will last for three years without needing replacement parts or repairs. Secondly, the author claims that all of the best earbuds you can buy right now are disposable and that earbuds are practically impossible to repair. This statement is also unsupported as there are many other brands offering repairable earbuds such as Jabra Elite 85h and Sony WF-1000XM4. Lastly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that Fairphone has changed the perception of earbuds being impossible to repair.

The author uses language such as 'practically all of the best earbuds you can buy right now are disposable.' and 'earbuds are practically impossible to repair,' which is not true.

Fairphone has launched a unique pair of wireless earbuds called Fairbuds.
The design of Fairbuds bears a resemblance to Samsung's Galaxy Buds, with the outer surface on both sides serving as a controller.
It offers impressive features and battery life: six-hour battery life on a single charge and an additional 20 hours provided by the charging case.
Fairphone's Fairbuds are made from 70% recycled and fair materials, including all the tin and rare earth elements used. This aligns with Fairphone's commitment to sustainability.
The company claims to offer better pay for factory workers than its competitors, operating closely with suppliers to improve working conditions.
Fairbuds prioritize repairability over aesthetics: The charging case is roughly twice as large as similar products and the battery replacement procedure takes approximately 30 seconds via a flat-headed small screwdriver.
Customers can easily procure replacement parts such as outer shells, charging trays, ear tips, earbuds, case batteries, and earbud batteries from Fairphone's online parts store.
Despite some criticism regarding the sound quality of the Fairbuds which lack dynamism compared to competitors ,the Fairbuds app offers customizable sound profiles.
In Europe, the Fairphone Fairbuds sport a price figure of €149 (around ₹13,475). We do not know if and when the device will make its way to international markets including India.
