COWIN’s limited warranty is restricted to the country of purchase. The limited warranty is void on items taken outside the country they were originally bought in or shipped to directly from an authorized online purchase.

Quality-related warranty claims on purchases made through COWIN’s authorized distributors and retailers, such as Walmart and Amazon, are handled through COWIN (see list of authorized distributors and retailers below form).

For quality-related warranty claims, items will be replaced with a factory refurbished model of equal value when available, otherwise a new item will be sent. In situations where a replacement is not an available or preferred option, COWIN will offer a partial refund according to the usage time of the device.

Warranties on all replacements follow the same warranty timeframe of the original defective item, or 3 months after being replaced, whichever is longer. Warranties on products are void after having been fully refunded.

If you wish to submit a warranty case, kindly prepare photo/ audio/ video documentation with details and any other necessary materials you think would help us to understand the issue.

Valid proof of purchase:
● Order number from online purchases made through COWIN or COWIN’s authorized resellers
