If you want eco-friendly headphones, then the Fairphone Fairbuds XL (2025) are already winners, with a green resume that’ll keep your carbon footprint small. Plus the sound is fun, they have a comfy fit and the joystick is a music-control gamechanger. There’s a distinct lack of extra features and a few other non-competitive areas like battery life and ANC, but what might put most buyers off is the relatively high price tag.

Pros

  • Super-handy control joystick
  • Comfortable fit; fun look
  • Eco-friendly build

Cons

  • Few extra features
  • Priced higher than alternatives
  • Lack of sonic nuance
