Reviews consumer technology; The tear down fairtrade true wireless earbuds

FIVE YEARS AFTER Apple launched its AirPods, many others have entered the earbud end of the Bluetooth audio market. They stretch from heavier hitters like Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi to specialists in low-cost peripherals. A ‘professional’ pair can cost more than £200 — Apple AirPods Pro are £239 — but prices can go down to less than £20. Quality and lifespan vary.
