Here is the complete blog package based on the latest Fairbuds 2 leak. The leaked images show green and black versions, a new stem-style design, and a thicker charging case. Fairphone is targeting Q4 2026, while full specifications and pricing remain unconfirmed. (Android Authority)
Fairphone Fairbuds 2 Leak in Two Colors
Fairphone appears to be preparing its next-generation wireless earbuds, and the upcoming Fairbuds 2 have now leaked ahead of their expected launch. The leaked images provide an early look at the earbuds in two color options, green and black, while also revealing a significant change in design compared with the original Fairbuds.
Fairphone has already indicated that the Fairbuds 2 are expected to arrive in the fourth quarter of 2026. This means the new earbuds could officially launch sometime between October and December. However, the company has not yet revealed the complete specifications or pricing. (Android Authority)
New Stem-Style Design
One of the biggest changes visible in the leaked images is the design of the earbuds. The first-generation Fairbuds featured a rounded, stemless design, while the Fairbuds 2 appear to adopt a more traditional stem-style form.
The addition of stems could provide additional space for microphones and other internal components. It may also make the earbuds easier to handle and could potentially improve voice-call performance. However, Fairphone has not confirmed the reason behind the design change.
The new design brings the Fairbuds 2 closer to the appearance of many popular true wireless earbuds currently available in the market. Despite the change, Fairphone is expected to maintain its focus on sustainability and repairability. (Android Authority)
Green and Black Color Options
The leaked images show the Fairbuds 2 in two colors: green and black. The green version gives the earbuds a distinctive appearance, while the black model offers a more traditional and understated option.
The two colors also appear to fit with Fairphone’s recent design language. However, it is not yet clear whether these will be the only colors available when the earbuds officially launch or whether Fairphone will introduce additional options later.
Thicker Charging Case
The charging case also appears to have received a design change. Compared with the original Fairbuds case, the Fairbuds 2 case looks taller and thicker.
This has led to speculation that Fairphone could be using a larger battery in the new charging case. The first-generation Fairbuds had a 500mAh case battery, so the larger enclosure could potentially allow for increased capacity and longer overall battery life. However, this has not been confirmed by Fairphone. (Android Authority)
The leaked case appears to retain USB-C connectivity, while the internal design reportedly includes three LEDs and a physical button.
Repairability Could Remain the Main Highlight
Repairability is one of the most important features associated with Fairphone products, and the original Fairbuds were designed around the same philosophy.
The first-generation Fairbuds offered seven replaceable parts, including the batteries in the earbuds and charging case. This made them very different from most wireless earbuds, which can be difficult or impossible to repair when their batteries degrade.
Fairphone describes the Fairbuds 2 as modular, suggesting that replaceability will remain an important part of the new model. However, the company has not yet confirmed exactly which components will be replaceable in the second generation. (Android Authority)
Specifications and Price Still Unknown
At the moment, detailed specifications for the Fairbuds 2 remain unavailable. Information about audio drivers, active noise cancellation, codecs, battery life, charging speed and other features has not been officially announced.
Pricing is also unknown. Fairphone is expected to reveal more information closer to the official launch.
Expected Launch
The Fairphone Fairbuds 2 are expected to launch in Q4 2026, which places the expected release window between October and December. The leaked green and black versions give consumers an early look at the upcoming earbuds, but the final design, specifications, pricing and availability will only be confirmed by Fairphone.
If the company successfully combines a modern stem-style design with its established repairability approach, the Fairbuds 2 could become an interesting alternative for buyers who want wireless earbuds designed to last longer.
