Product details
The Fairbuds XL offer an immersive sound experience with strong bass, warm mids, and clear, bright highs. The active noise cancellation enhances the listening adventure. They are great for music and even better for people and the environment, as they are the most sustainable headphones on the market. They are made from fair and recycled materials and feature a long-lasting battery. They belong to the family of modularity. These headphones are designed to last – even if you break your headband or wear out your ear cushions.
