I want to love these but at the price point you can basically buy 3-4 sets of (likely) technically comparable wireless earbuds that will (likely) last a year or two. How long can I expect fairbuds to last? I can't imagine it would be close to a decade even with replacing batteries

The point is mostly to avoid ewaste, not save money.

if they wanted to avoid ewaste they wouldn't have removed the 3.5mm jack and I would still use normal headphones.

I guess that's also kinda my poorly made point -- I imagine that these earbuds are like any other electronic device in the fact that they'll break in a handful of years and end up being irreparable in some way that results in just replacing them. I'm not sure what the answer is to any of this of course

Fair, but tiny earbuds are not exactly massive contributor to ewaste (or total waste).
