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).

    Do they have to be wireless?

    I’d highly recommend the any of the big Phillips Fidelio headphones. They’re ridiculously comfy, they’re sturdy, and they sound incredible.


    Other than that, I’m a huge fan of planetary magnetic drivers, like Hifiman’s often discounted older units.


    And if you need USB output, you can get a good dongle on the cheap, like any of the Fiio KA series.

    EDIT: Just saw the community. Not sure about EU companies, specifically, though many many make wired headphones.
