Fairbuds 2 will be the first successor to the Fairbuds earbuds released in 2024. The original Fairbuds were among the first wireless earbuds designed with replaceable components. The company has already published a teaser for the upcoming model, while media outlets had previously reported leaks about its substantially updated design.
