Please be sure to wrap the product safely and securely prior to mailing. Please email customerservice@hifiman.com and we will provide you with further instructions on where returns should be shipped and the amount you will be refunded.

HIFIMAN Warranty Policy
This warranty policy applies to products purchased from HIFIMAN official stores and authorized dealers worldwide. Warranty periods differ by region as required by applicable law (see the Warranty Period table below). For the European Union & United Kingdom, this commercial warranty runs in addition to the statutory rights you have under EU & UK consumer law.
What This Limited Warranty Covers
HIFIMAN warrants to the original purchaser that the product purchased will be free from defects in manufacturing, parts, materials, and workmanship under normal and accepted use. Shipment of any defective item for repair under this warranty is at the customer’s own risk and expense.
What We Will Do to Correct Problems
HIFIMAN will either repair the product at no charge or offer a replacement, using new or refurbished replacement parts.

Regional Legal Notes
Worldwide (outside EU & UK): This warranty is limited; the duration of any implied warranties is limited to the warranty period stated above. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not apply to you. This is not a waiver of any rights under the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act.
European Union: Nothing in this commercial warranty affects your statutory rights under applicable EU consumer law (including the 2-year conformity guarantee under Directive (EU) 2019/771), which apply in addition to and independently of this warranty.
United Kingdom: Nothing in this commercial warranty affects your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (including your right to a repair or replacement, or a full refund where the product is faulty within 30 days of delivery) and any equivalent legislation in Scotland and Northern Ireland. These statutory rights apply in addition to and independently of this warranty.
