Yes there are still problems. I own a pair and they work fine a lot. But when they bug out its annoying af. And trust me they do not sound as good as a wired headset. They sound "good enough" not great. Bluetooth is a protocol that was never intended for what we are using it for. To the point that apple designed a specific chip to work with their airpods because Bluetooth is straight up lacking.

Also i get this question every time i make a comment about headphones. Great if they work for you. They have have problems and your personal experience doesn't negate that.

Also there is not a single Bluetooth headset out there that will ever last longer than wired headphones. Cause batteries degrade and these batteries arent replaceable.

Shit tablet. The performance isn't even worth the money. Decent if you wanna give it to a kid i guess. Pain in the ass to mod too. Just not worth it.

Yeah so just get a moto g or some shit then. Lol Whats the point of repairing something that can't run basic apps well or efficiently.

Its definitely well done. The ending was super brutal. I work in the service industry for the last 10 + years and have been steadily climbing. And that feeling he had at the end. Where something you love so much shouldn't be so hard or hurt so much hit me deep.

Seriously I can't figure out how the table gets that "wide" when its popped up. I figure its just the underside of the "down" coffee table but my brain still no compute.

There is literally no reason for fairphone to not include a headphone jack. Beside lining their own pockets. It is easily user serviceable and replaceable. And I'd even argue the the demo this phone is targeted at i.e. ppl who even give enough of a shit to service their own phone would be excited to have a headphone jack. I mean they used to but fairphone removed it when they introduced their Bluetooth headphones. Something that is easily way less "green" or user serviceable than a nice pair of wired headphones.

Everything about them not having a headphone jack leaves a bad taste in my mouth especially in perspective with this companies "misson"

I just can't stand the inconsistency of Bluetooth. The quality is worse. Every single mic on a Bluetooth headphones sounds worse than just a cable mic. Only reason to remove it is for company profits. Plus my set of wired headphones will work for years maybe decades the same can't be said about Bluetooth headphones.

No headphone jack is a critical flaw for me. Can't beat something compatabile with like 50+ years of headphones and sound systems and something that will always have better fidelity and less technical issues.

Only thing keeping me from being interested in this phone is the lack of 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Which really isn't an issue for most of its users.
