Used or Refurbished Headphone – A Disappointing Experience
John Morrison 12.01.2025
I ordered this headphone during the Cyber Week sale, unaware that purchasing a discounted item could mean receiving a previously damaged and repaired product.
When the package arrived, I noticed the acrylic sheet on the box was cracked. While that didn’t bother me too much at first (since I was more concerned about the headphones being intact), I soon discovered bigger issues.
At first, the headphones seemed amazing in terms of sound reproduction, as expected. However, I quickly noticed a problem: the right ear cup’s rotation mechanism made a clattering sound whenever the headphones were handled. Upon closer inspection, I found an indentation on the bottom of the plastic enclosure of the ear cup, indicating it was damaged.
Adding to my suspicions, I discovered that both ear cups had a piece of clear tape protruding from inside the headphones. This strongly suggested that the headphones had undergone some kind of repair.
What was supposed to be a fully functional, brand-new product turned into a disappointing experience. I had waited a month for these headphones to arrive, having them shipped to a friend’s address in another country. To say I’m frustrated with this company is an understatement.
I’m sharing my experience so others can think twice before making a purchase here. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to me, I guess.

Broke down just after guarantee time
Anonymous 30.03.2015
First I was very pleased with AKG K-701 earphones. One day the right speaker was dead, no sound at all. I send them back to Thomann and they came back repaire after a month. Yes a month.

Alas, they broke down again, now there is no sound in left speaker. And it happened two month after the guarantee time was over. Period. Not very pleased with the product or Thomann's way to dead with the issue. I'm the person who they can call "ex-customer".
