Sony WF-1000XM3 Truly Wireless
Fairphone Fairbuds True Wireless
The Fairphone Fairbuds True Wireless and Sony WF-1000XM3 Truly Wireless are both a good choice for users who value repairability. The main difference is that Fairphone officially support customers repairing and replacing parts. By contrast, an informal community of people interested in repairability have deemed the Sony an unusually user-fixable set of buds, but Sony doesn't officially support this. Both pairs are well-matched for most use cases, though the Sony do have a noticeably better microphone. Still, the Fairphone are newer and have a more stable fit, so if you're concerned about your environmental footprint, they're the pair to choose.
