Warranty
Soundium only sells original and new (unless marked as B-Stock on product page) products.
B-Stock product means the original packaging has been opened. Normally this happens when customers return products, demonstrational products are being sold or products have been opened for photoshoots.
B-Stock products are always checked prior to selling them. Normally the condition is almost ideal, with minimal signs of usage. We offer the same warranty conditions to B-Stock products as to new products.
Below you will find all relevant information in regards warranty service.

Certain products are not covered by warranty - these include various accessories (such as stands, bags, etc.), cables, cartridges, styluses and similar items. If a product is not covered by warranty, there will be no warranty information indicated on the product page, just below the ADD TO CART button. Additionally, the warranty period will not be listed on your purchase document (the warranty field on the invoice will be left blank). However, if you purchase this type of product and encounter an issue, please don’t hesitate to contact us – we will be happy to assist you.
Warranty conditions
Warranty conditions
- Keep the product’s original packaging along with all original accessories and documents. The original packaging ensures safe transportation of the product if it needs to be sent to us, and we will not be held responsible for any damage during transportation if the item is not packed in its original manufacturer packaging. The original packaging is also important because it often contains serial numbers that may not be indicated on the product itself - this information is required by service centers during warranty servicing.
- If you have not kept the original packaging but wish to contact us for warranty service, you may still do so. However, we cannot guarantee that the manufacturer’s service center won’t request the original packaging and accessories during the process. We will also ask you to pack the item as securely as possible, using your best judgement, so it can be safely transported to the service center.
- Keep your proof of purchase (invoice), as it is required to receive warranty service. Invoices are emailed to customers who purchase online. If you can’t find your invoice but are certain you placed an order online, your order number will be required.
- Warranty cases are typically resolved within 40 business days from the date the device is received for repair, however, the process may take shorter or longer depending on various factors such as service center workload, availability of spare parts, and the complexity of the issue.
- The product will be replaced with a new one or a refund will be issued if defects that occur during the warranty period cannot be repaired. This decision is made by the manufacturer’s authorized service center after inspecting the device.
