I know it’s impossible to find new pair of headphones that are completly ethical, but if it is possible to buy some that are more ethical than others then I want to do that. Does anyone know if there are headphones that don’t use cobalt or lithium-ion batteries? And in general that doesn’t use and/or reduce their use of conflict materials? I don’t know much about technology or headphones and I feel like I don’t understand anything when I try and do my own research.
You could find some older ones that use AAs. Or you could just buy wired.
(Another option is to buy used, as this would mitigate the cash flow to these areas)
