Fairphone Expands to the US with Repairable Headphones
Fairphone, known for producing smartphones with ethically sourced materials and sustainable, easily repairable designs, is entering the US market for the first time. Rather than launching a phone, the company’s first product in the US will be a pair of repairable headphones.
Previously, Fairphone’s devices were only available in Europe. Although the /e/ Foundation had offered some Fairphone models in the US with the de-Googled /e/OS Android at higher prices, Fairphone itself had not directly sold products in the region.
Fairphone CEO Raymond van Eck told Reuters: “The company is bringing its first product to the US… but it’s not a phone. It’s a pair of repairable headphones.”
This move may pave the way for Fairphone to eventually sell their sustainable, repairable smartphones directly to US consumers.
Tweet from Liliputing on November 5, 2025: “Fairphone is bringing its repairable headphones to the US. Up until now the company, which focuses on ethically-sourced & sustainable devices, has only sold its phones & accessories in Europe… although Murena does resell some.”
Summary
Sony enhances PlayStation Portal with cloud streaming, Vectrex Mini enters crowdfunding, and Fairphone starts US sales with repairable headphones, signaling a future smartphone launch.
