1. The battery status in the app is unreliable and slow to update. I got about four hours with noise cancelling, enough for normal use, but calls likely reduce that considerably, and I sometimes have long calls with my family.
2. I couldn’t easily connect them to my Linux ThinkPad, whereas my Anker headphones and earbuds connect without problems.
3. The touch controls are limited and cannot be customized. I often listen to German podcasts while learning, so going back a few seconds to hear something again matters to me.

The sound quality and call microphone were good enough, though.

My Anker Liberty 4 NC has lost over two-thirds of its original battery life after two years and nine months, dropping from 6+ hours to under two. I still like its call quality, noise cancelling and connectivity, but unfortunately it does not support the #RightToRepair.

I wish I could support @Fairphone, but I cannot justify spending €99 on a product with these problems. Perhaps Fairphone could publish the app’s source code so enthusiasts could help fix issues such as unreliable battery telemetry.

I’m otherwise a happy Fairphone 5 customer and have used mine for almost a year and a half.
