So how long is a warranty on something like headphones? I need to go to jb hifi to return some but it's been almost a year or a bit longer.

Can't seem to find the info anywhere. I'm probably googling the wrong thing.

You’re probably good within a year as long as they didn’t cost like 10 bucks or something.

Warranty length is usually on a slip of paper with the headphones.

Also you have the Australian consumer law to rely on as a backup that can not be overruled.

I'm not super sure, but 1 year is typically the standard wqarranty period from what I've seen. My $2 earbuds from Officeworks, and most anko stuff from Kmart has a year warranty. Some stuff goes up to 2

I'd probably go in anyway and see what they can do for you. JB tend to be pretty alright from my experience. Probably largely to do with them putting like a 90% markup on almost everything they sell unless you get a price beat or try to haggle

The warranty usually comes down to the manufacturer, so you might be able to check on their website.

I had some sennheiser headphones die just within the warranty period, swapped them out for Momentums, and they're still going strong today
