Hey guys, first of all, don't judge me please

Few months ago my Monster Miles Davis Tributes broke, so I sent them back and I was 100% sure that I will get a refund, as they didn't have any MDTs for sale on their website. However, during those few days when the package was traveling to France, they got a restock and therefore, they sent me a new pair. Problem is that meanwhile, as I was sure I will get a refund, I bought myself Sennheiser IE80s.

As I enjoy IE80s a bit more then MDTs, I would like to get a refund for my MDTs, as I firstly thought I will. To be able to do that, I have to "fake" that they broke and send them to France once more and finally, get a refund since they wont have any MDTs for sale in future.

So my question is, how can I do that? I guess giving one headphone a bath would do the trick, but I think that they would find out.
Any ideas? ^^

I'm not sure anyone here will instruct you on a bit of light fraud.

Have you tried to speak to the vendor?

Monster is an extremely nasty company but even so faking that they broke is completely unethical.  Sorry, but you can't put up a post of this nature and use "...don't judge me please" as a get out of jail free card.

I understand that it is unethical and wrong on so many levels, but you have to bear in mind that 280€ is not "just a few euros", especially for a university student. I haven't bought them from Monster btw, I bought them from Pixmania.

Just resell them on ebay, and take the little bit of loss in the shorts.
 
Learn a lesson, and don't count your IEMs before they are hatched.

Probably time to call this to a close dude. Live and learn.

Have you exhausted all legitimate avenues with pixmanIa?

 

[Kecupochren]

Yes I did, I called their support and they told me that they only refund an item if they fail to repair it and dont have any new on stock

Like Turf said (never thought I'd be saying that 

) resale them, you'll take a little bit of a loss but its better than nothing.

If the MDT's that you recieved from them in return are new, unused, then sell them on ebay/amazon/headfi or other places in that condition- new. You'll make most of the money.
 
What you suggest is unethical- but that isn't the biggest problem. It probably won't work- I mean they will just send you a replacement of them like they did in this case and what's the point.
