Fairphone Fairbuds XL: How do I fix a loose wire in the right ear

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 04:19:55 -0700

In the right ear of my fairbuds XL, I can hear a sound when walking that sounds like a loose wire. I originally only used it connected at home so didn't notice it.

Having never repaired electronics, I don't feel qualified to just open the case and look - I don't even know what "OK" should look like.

Would you be able to give me some pointers, please?

I tried Fairphone Support, but their wait time is nearly a month for an initial answer.
