warranty

hey the grey seal thing on my headphones are half peeled off. its annoying as hell to be honest.

is this covered by warranty or does apple give to us in the rear regarding headphones?

[demonslave]

erm, well... i doubt accessories are under warranty, and they're not really that expensive... so I'd probably just go out and buy another pair. the ones that actually fit to your ear are nice. and are probably cheaper, since they're not Apple. :P

[vov4ik_il]

Aftermarket thingie will fit any taste :-)
Yours will not be exchanged, (I already tried mine).

Considered normal wear and tear

[stonyboys]

what if i smash them and say that they stopped working spontaneously? i dont have parents to pay for my **** like you guys got =(

[Melech518]

I wish I was a kid still lol. Post up a picture of what exactly you are talking about.

[stonyboys]

i dont feel like finding my digital cam but here's a labeled stock photo...

the arrow points to the thing that is peeling off. the line shows where it's peeled off to. i wouldnt mind it as much if the rubber didnt somehow expand to make it extra annoying in my ear.

also im sure the space between the rubber and headphone is a great place for dust and bacteria to build up and eventually get a one way trip to my ear canal.

[Melech518]

Yeah, those wont be covered unfortunately.

[stonyboys]

ok but can i smash them or do something so that it looks like they just crapped out on me?

[Melech518]

Lol, no that wont work. If you smash them then they really wont help you. PM me your address, maybe you'll get a christmas present.

I have multiple comments on this, but I'll stay on topic-- you can get $10 headphones that are just like the Apple ones but with a perk, they're coloured! :P Check it out, saw them at Target.

If you can afford an iPod, you can spare ten bucks, dear. :P

What the hell are you guys talking about?!?

Apple will swap them out no problem. So far 9 outta 10 times, I've gotten new headphones (the 1 time, my phone was outta warranty)

We must be retarded I guess...

What Stony is describing is normal wear and tear and will not be replaced.

you cant be serious?

no, really. you're not gonna just send me your dogs poop?

[Melech518]

No, I won't send you sh!t lol. I have an abundance of iPhone headphones in the store.

[shadow25]

****, send me a spare set! I lost mine the other day..

Don't bring it in for wear and tear.. Just say the sound is distorted. The geniuses don't want to put other peoples headphones in so they just slap a new set on the counter.

That is called deception and cheating Apple, which we do not discuss here. Since you are a new member you might want to check out the Forum Rules before posting.

I will never give anything to anyone who asks me, so bug off.

It was worth a shot

To be fair, my headset was having some weird distortion, but doesn't matter.. Gonna buy a new headset tommorow (can't live without the mic)

[stonyboys]

shadow if you have legit distortion than why not take it in for a free replacement...?
