Hi,
I have been thinking about buying Philips headphones in the more expensive level(around $260), for example Philips Fidelio L2. Even if these headphones is new(from 2013) and thay cost about $260 there is no replacement earpads!?
I have really tried to get a hold of a pair to see how bad this really is. I have been in contact with both the UK and Sweden support for Philips and thay have made contacts internally to find a solution.
They have also pointed me to alternative parts resellers as if Philips itself dont know if there is any earpad replacement. All the resellers have said that there is only a cable as replacement so no solution here.
There is simple no replacement pads for the L2 and X1 headphones!! Yes The X2 might fit the X1 but L2 is still out of luck.
So, If one of the pads would break they expect us to throw the entire headphone away and buy a new pair for about $260!?
This also get you wounder how much this company is thinking about the enviroment? The earpads is a consumable part just as batteries and will have to be switched out at some point.
I have hade a pair of headphones for over 12 years, would the pads last this long?
