    In November 2023 ********* ******* (my son-in-law) returned his R10 headphones to **** with a check for $9. The headphones were under warranty and the Company requires that amount to fullfill the warranty. The check was cashed. He is an inmate at the ************************* in ******************** and he asked me to contact them. I called at least 5 times and left messages each time. None of the calls were returned. On July 20 2024 I sent them a letter from Mr. ******* which contained all the required information which allowed them to send the replacement headphones. I received an email from them asking for his address, name and the type of headphones. This was all provided in the original letter. They said they were sorry and once they received the info they would send the replacement. I sent the info to them on 2 occasions since then and he still has not gotten the replacement. The person who said he would send them upon receiving the info was **** ******** at ****. I have all the supporting documentation.

    I am writing because I&#**;m about to file a complaint on **** because they refuse to answer any of my letters or give me a price on what I would have to send them to get the other headphones. I&#**;ve already sent them $20.00 plus I&#**;ve paid for the headphones that I had repaired the CL-20, now how much do I owe to get the **10? or if I can&#**;t get them send my money back and I&#**;ll order them from somewhere else.

    Hi and sorry for the issues. I show you have an $11 credit on your account. An R10 is ***** after adding ** sales tax so if you subtract your credit your would need to send us $20.79 to receive an R10. Thanks

    I purchased a pair of **** Titanium ktxpro1 headphones some years ago. I put them aside and opened the package a month ago, when my daughter needed headphones. She used them for less than 24 hours before the pads deteriorated. I contacted ****, who agreed to replace the pads for free. After more than 10 back and forth eMails over a month, I received 2 pads, different types/sizes, not of any apparent quality, with zero labeling. I'm guessing that it's some **** employee's idea of a sense of humor. I'm now requesting a replacement set of the headphones; I have offered to return the ones I have with the original packaging.
