Update 1

I see a framerate/refresh rate bug that occasionally locks the framerate at a low value upon unlock. Fixing it requires a lock/unlock cycle.

Thanks, I hate it. One more set of batteries, one more flaky wireless link to troubleshoot. Please take all those fancy electronics, and put them inside the phone where they belong.

Fairphone does make wireless earbuds with replaceable batteries. That being said, does the Fairphone 6 not come with a 3.5mm jack? Sony still ships it's Xperia series with both the jack and microsD slot, so that is certainly possible.

But they are still using Bluetooth right? That's a hard nope, it must be my personal dark aura or something, but Bluetooth devices just refuse to work reliably for me. I just don't want to deal with that anymore.

I really miss the good old jack port, not only does it just work, you can both charge your phone and listen to something at the same time as I do often in the evening. Having the charging port double as the headphone connector is such a step backwards.

I think it was around Bluetooth 5.0 that reliability issues stopped happening, I hear you, but things have improved

Can you tell that to my pair of AirPods Pros? The amount of times only one of the in-ears decides to connect to my phone or laptop is just plain infuriating. All those devices support Bluetooth 5.0, but reliable is not the word I'd use to describe my experience.

Same for stuff like file transfers between my phone and laptop, I'm sick of that generic "file transfer failed" message without any helpful hint as to what went wrong this time. A cable is reliable, Bluetooth is definitely not in my personal experience. Sorry.
