Sustainability materials

Use of vegan leatherette, user replaceable earpads and a replaceable internal battery gives the P100 a more sustainable, long lived design than many sealed ANC rivals that must be discarded when parts wear out.

Reviews highlight Cambridge’s focus on circular design: plastic-free, recyclable packaging; substantial recycled plastics in the chassis; and recycled rare-earth materials in the drivers. Combined with user-replaceable parts, the P100 SE are positioned as a more sustainable wireless headphone option.

Packaging and materials show stronger eco focus than prior generations, with paper-based or zero-plastic presentations and recycled materials called out by reviewers.

Several reviews mention Sony using recycled and more sustainable materials, including plastics sourced from recycled car parts and more recyclable packaging. The sustainability focus is presented as a plus that does not significantly compromise weight or everyday usability.

Sustainability is discussed mainly through repairability: some sources highlight that components like ear cushions, headband, and even internal parts can be replaced, supporting longer-term ownership. This is framed as a durability and longevity benefit rather than a detailed materials audit. Overall, the PX7 S3 get positive notes for being designed with replaceable parts, which aligns with sustainability goals.

Sustainability notes highlight recycled materials and Apple recycling programs, but difficult repairability and non-user-replaceable batteries remain major downsides.

At least one review highlights eco-friendly packaging, adding a small sustainability positive alongside the premium presentation.

Some coverage notes recycled aluminum and other materials in the redesign, paired with a focus on repairability and replaceable components; together these choices are meant to extend product life and reduce waste; sustainability details vary by source, but it is positioned as a deliberate design consideration.

At least one review notes Apple’s use of more sustainably sourced materials in the charging case, adding a small but positive sustainability angle alongside the product’s durability features.

Sustainability notes are limited, but at least one review highlights minimalist, paper-forward packaging. The product itself is still primarily plastic and does not strongly position sustainability as a core feature beyond packaging choices.

Beats has moved toward more recycled materials and a toned-down design, and Apple offers trade-in and recycling programs, but detailed environmental reporting and straightforward repair/parts availability remain limited compared with some competitors.

Repairability appears reasonable for service parts like pads, but recycled-material use is limited or absent in available reporting.

Packaging still relies on plastic wrap and conventional materials, which some reviewers note as an area where 1More could improve sustainability.
