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.

      Mostly just corpos exploiting developing nations, polluting local water supplies with no regard for the safety of locals. Following that CIA coups when these nations try to push the corporations out so the locals that actually have a stake in not destroying the environment can profit off their resources. Just the usual, happens basically with every rare earth metal (and also everything else).

        Ah thanks. Then it happens to basically any metal. OP’s not getting any more ethical by going with dry batteries or aluminum/steel
