Five stars for the Fairphone 5

"Up to 10 years of software updates is simply unheard of, gaining it an extra star. And the Fairphone is simple enough to repair that the hardware should be able to last just as long with an occasional quick and cheap battery swap. It also comes with a five-year warranty and is made with as many recycled and ethically sourced materials as possible.''

The big question is: why aren't all headphones designed like this?

"They are well made, comfortable to wear for long periods, have excellent controls, the battery lasts a long time and you could carry a spare one if you wanted to. They connect to two Bluetooth devices at once, support high quality audio standards and sound great. They even have pretty good noise cancelling and are weather resistant despite being modular.''

    Over the next few years we will all be seeing a big change in telecommunications with Openreach switching off the PSTN network by 2025. What this essentially means is that all traditional analogue and digital telephone services will be turned off. If you want to continue to use a telephone service after 2025 you must have a full fibre internet connection and an internet compatible telephone service. This is the biggest and most disruptive change to the telecoms market in its lifetime and Your Co-op Business Solutions will be here to help guide you through it every step of the way.
