That's what stops me buying from retailers who have this policy!!

Some people aren't all that careful with stuff and my feeling is if the goods do what is advertised, then keep them. This business of 'I don't like the sound of that so I'm returning it' seems a bit open to abuse imo. I've bought headphones before that I haven't particularly liked the sound of, but I didn't return them because I had made the decision to take a chance in the first place.

I know that it's difficult for some people to get to a shop and hear them first but really, people should do their utmost to hear the sound signature before going ahead and ordering goods, just to return them later.

I have seen on these threads - people buying two pairs of headphones, saying that they will return the pair that they don't like. That doesn't seem to be fair to the retailer imo.

Not only headphones, also amps, very expensive amps, and heavy amps that cost a lot of money to be shipped, and some times even imported, and customs fees, etc....and even huge things as full size speakers, I have seen that also...and later on they even claim a shipping refund, gimme a break!!!!!!
And you know what, most of the times the dealer after they return these items, they sell these products as "B stock" or "demos" in which case they loose considerably amount of money, and in some cases the whole profits...
