Over Ear Headphones (feddit.org)

I'm remotely thinking about getting new Over Ear Headphones. Does anyone have particular first hand experience with repeat.audio or with the fairphone earbuds xl?

repeat.audio offers a "comparison" at this page.

(Yes, I know brands like Teufel and their lovely Real Blue NC.... I also liked them very much, until the frame broke. Hence the two repairable products).

Yea, the fitting is really an issue. I have sort of an alien head 👽😐

I feel that the 400€ for the earbuds are hefty, even for a green product. I tend to try the repeat.audio (try as in test if they match my head shape), and maybe go with the lifetime repair offer, well knowing that lifetime is only as long as the company exists.

My motivation is to support a company that made a lot of right decisions, e.g. in terms of right to repair/repairability and avoiding waste, e.g. by recycling. I cannot say that these reflect my values and given the opportunity buy something else 😅
