  "account": "Leaked images have unveiled the design of the upcoming Fairbuds 2, signaling a significant departure from their predecessors. The new earbuds will feature a stem-style design, a departure from the rounded shape of the original Fairbuds. Additionally, the charging case for the Fairbuds 2 will be taller compared to its predecessor. Dutch tech news outlet NieuweMobiel obtained the images, confirming that Fairphone plans to launch the Fairbuds 2 in the fourth quarter of 2026. While the earbuds will retain their modular design, enabling users to replace individual parts instead of discarding the entire device when components wear out, Fairphone has not specified which specific parts will be replaceable. The pricing and complete specifications of the Fairbuds 2 remain undisclosed. However, it is worth noting that wireless earbuds typically lack the repair-friendly features that made the original Fairbuds unique. The leaked images showcase the Fairbuds 2 in green and black color options, aligning with the Forest Green and Horizon Black color schemes of the upcoming Fairphone Gen 6 Plus.",
