Pre-Purchase

How do I verify if the pre-owned product being sold is original?

The seller is required to provide a copy of his invoice to be able to list his product. This should be enough proof for facilitating any warranty claims. Besides, some products also come with serial numbers which should help verify the authenticity of the product.

What if I don't want all the items listed as available in a pre-owned product listing?

The same can be communicated to the seller, and if he so wishes, he can work out a deal for you. Otherwise, it is advised to buy the product with all the accessories as mentioned in the listing.

What if the headphones I received are out of warranty?

If the product's warranty period has lapsed, it is advised that you check for availability of a service center for that brand in India. Service centers are technically capable to repair gear that might go bust for a fee.

Can I use any old store credit I may have got from Headphone Zone against buying pre-owned headphones?

Yes, there are no restrictions on the way a buyer needs to pay for pre-owned gear. It is like any other purchase on Headphone Zone.

Can I buy Pre-owned gear on EMI?

Yes, absolutely. Excepting cash on delivery, all payment forms are accepted.

If I want to buy more than one item from the same seller, can I get a discount?

It entirely depends on the seller. Negotiations are not allowed, however since it's our job to convey any kind of buyer communication to the seller, we shall do that and leave the rest to the seller.

Is there any quality control responsibility that Headphone Zone will take for such gear?

As of now, we havenÕt figured out a way to conduct any quality checks. However, we trust our customers to list genuine, fully functioning products and honestly mention any problems that might be present. The buyer will be the one to confirm if the product matches the description and that there arenÕt any unknown issues that might be discovered. To avoid any confusion we shall intermediate any conversation between the buyer and seller. Other than that, Headphone Zone tries its best to protect its buyers by getting as much information about the seller and his gear to achieve transparency in the transaction. Once the buyer confirms if the product matches the description and that there arenÕt any unknown issues that might be discovered, store credit for the sale amount is provided to the seller.

What if I want to see more pictures of the item listed?

Put in a request by writing to us and we donÕt think the seller should mind providing any additional pictures. If needed, please be clear if you need a picture of something specific.
