I bought some Shure SE420 earphones back in April 2009. I bought them via amazon market place, but the order was fulfilled by Amazon themselves.
In less than a year the rubber around the earphones had broken, and the extension lead broke - when you move it around the sond goes from one ear to the other.
Now when I got my earphones I registered them , and understood that I had a 2 year warranty with them. I contacted Shure but they say because I've bought it from an amazon markeplace sellerthey won't honour the warranty. Now this doesn't seem right to me. This is the first I've heard about it. It never said anything about amazon marketplace sellers when I registered them.
I was advised to go back to amazon, but they say they only cover things for a year. Fair enough but I'm angry that I wasn't made fully aware that I wouldn't have a 2 year warranty with Shure. Surely an order fulfilled by Amazon should come under the warranty?
I paid a lot for these earphones. It must be a design fault if the rubber breaks away that easily. I can cope with the extension lead as that is easily replaceable, but the rubber isn't. They look rubbish.
The only thing I can think of doing is writing a letter to complain. Perhaps find links to show how many other people have been affected with my issue. I should have acted sooner but I genuinely had no idea that my warranty wouldn't be accepted.
So I was wondering if anyone had any advice, or if people had experienced similar problems with Shure. I uderstand you can pay to have them fixed, but I don't want to go forking out for that because I bet it won't be cheap.
