    I don’t care about earphones. Make a fridge or a washer, or a car that lasts a decade without paying for repairs to impress me. They make much more environmental impact than earphones.

    Besides for every set of apple pods there’s 10,000 Chinese knockoffs with even less environmental responsibility in th or production.

      They exist, but they’re brands you’ve possibly never heard of and are typically sold as “Commercial grade” appliances. They are significantly more expensive, look much more plain/utilitarian and usually far fewer features. If thats what you’re looking for you can buy them, just be prepared to pay 5 to 10 times more than your normal big box store choices.

      or a car that lasts a decade without paying for repairs to impress me.

      There are cars available that are more reliable today than any other time in history. There was a time just a few decades ago when having 100,000 miles on the car would mean its time for the scrappers. Now those same mileage cars are still selling for 5 figures.
