Return Policy Abuse

Our return policy is designed for customers who need it in good faith, which is the majority of you! Our regular customers should have nothing to fear.

Audio46 monitors the ratio of purchases versus returns, both in terms of quantity and of total value, whether through a single account or across multiple account. , we reserve the right to refuse customers from purchasing from us again.

Common Issues

"Bluetooth headphone is hissing" - in our experience, 9 out of 10 times the hissing heard through them is due to environmental interference rather than a defect. Make sure to test the Bluetooth mode in more than one location to rule it out.

"Bluetooth product isn't pairing to my device" - the first thing to always check is whether a full factory reset can help. Instructions can be found in the respective manufacturer's manual. Additionally, make sure your firmware is up-to-date to the latest version. You can check out our full troubleshoot guide.

"This product is incompatible with..." - Here at Audio46, we simply cannot anticipate every single outcome with a customer's personal setup, especially when it comes to compatibility with operating systems. We will gladly assist with returns on issues reported within 30 days of purchase.

"Your listing didn't mention..." - The information on our listings come directly from the manufacturer. If there arises a situation where the manufacturer's information is not enough, we will make the proper edits. Manufacturers are also known to make changes to their designs and packaging without notifying us; we will update our listing once we're made aware.

International Returns

Products shipped internationally are still eligible for returns. Any customs fees/taxes that were associated with your package may be non-refundable in the event of a return.

Things to keep in mind:

• International orders are NOT eligible for Prepaid return shipping, even if item is defective. Customers must ship at there own expense.
• Audio46 is not responsible for damage, defect, material difference, or loss that occurs to goods after they're delivered to a parcel/package forwarder or intermediary address/person. This means that Audio46 is NOT able to provide a replacement or a refund for any shipment taken outside of the U.S. by hand-carrying or using a parcel/package forwarding service.
• In the event that you wish to not pay the customs fees associated with your package, it will be returned to Audio46 by your country. Any shipping costs will be on the burden of the customer. Some countries will require that customs be paid for even if the package never leaves customs. Refusal to pay customs fees in these countries, will result in the fees and any shipping costs to be deducted from your refunded amount. In the event that your fees exceed the purchase price, Audio46 reserves the right to bill you for the difference.
