Fairbuds xl case?

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a case for these?
I'd like something a bit sturdier than the included bag. For now, I've only found the Xanad ones in an older topic, the 3d printable hardcase, and the UDG Creator U8201BL.

How is the 2025 Fairbuds XL audio?

I am considering the Fairbuds XL (2025 refresh) as a replacement for my Sennheiser HD 559, which suffered a driver failure, and I prefer a modular headphone where I can just buy and swap parts myself rather than deal with soldering.

I am not a true audiophile, but I do value decent sound for classical music and game soundtracks. For those who have the 2025 version:

  • How is the clarity for orchestral tracks?
  • Does it perform well in wired mode (how I will mostly use it)?

Sustainability is my main priority and I appreciate that Fairphone is a European company. ANC is just a "nice-to-have" as my office is relatively quiet.

I am also looking at the Repeat Audio Prince, the TMA-2 Studio Wireless, and the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro X. If anyone has compared the Fairbuds to these modular or European alternatives, I would love your thoughts.

Seeking advice on sustainable and repairable headphones to replace my Sennheiser HD 559

Hello everyone. I am looking for a new pair of over-ear headphones and would appreciate some advice from this community.

I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD 559. One side recently stopped working. I attempted to open them up and fix the issue myself. However, it appears that the driver is actually burned out.

Sustainability and environmental impact are quite important to me. I want a product that is designed for longevity. The ability to easily source replacement parts in Europe is a major plus point for me, so I am especially interested in brands that manufacture or design their products in Europe.

I am considering two specific models. The first is the Fairphone Fairbuds XL, and the second is Repeat Audio (The Prince).

Here are a few details about my typical use:

  • Connection: I will mostly be using these in wired mode.
  • Audio Quality: I am not a dedicated audiophile. I mostly listen to classical music and video game soundtracks. I enjoy decent sound, but I do not need professional-grade specs.
  • Noise Cancellation: I live alone in a quiet environment. I go into an office occasionally. It is not a very loud space, so Active Noise Cancelling is a nice feature to have rather than a strict requirement.
  • Ethics: I prefer products with transparent supply chains and recycled materials.
  • Budget: Ideally under 300 EUR.

Between these two options, which would you recommend for my specific musical tastes? Are there any other European modular brands I should look into?
