MANUFACTURER'S LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY STATEMENT (US)
The service policies and warranty statements on this page are relevant for all original Sennheiser-branded consumer hearing products (by Sonova Consumer Hearing GmbH or Sonova AG and their other affiliated companies referred to as Sonova Consumer Hearing) and warrant to the original purchaser that the product purchased will be free of defects related to manufacturing, parts, materials, and workmanship under normal and accepted use.
