But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don't do this not because they can't but because they don't want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

I think you can get them imported but the costs go up significantly. Also they wouldnt be certified by your electronic bodies

Nothing's fair with FP when they can't give the option of a jack. So much for caring about the environment

I still use the free wired earbuds I get on flights. You can also go to walmart and get unpackaged bags of them for like $1. I just lose wireless ones too easily
