What is the Shokz Warranty Policy?
Shokz Global Limited (referred to as “Shokz”, “we” or “our”) and our authorized sellers provide a warranty (Shokz Warranty) against manufacturing defects for all genuine Shokz products, starting from the original purchase date.

You may submit a warranty claim if your product has a manufacturing defect and is still within the warranty period. Our customer service team will review and process your claim within 2–3 business days.
Warranty replacements will generally be for the same model, size, and color. Should the original model be discontinued, a similar or upgraded model will be provided.
The warranty period begins on the original purchase date, verified by a valid proof of purchase, such as a sales invoice or receipt.
The standard warranty period is two years for new products and one year for refurbished products. For Australian consumers, the warranty period is two years for new products and one year for refurbished products from the original date of purchase.
This warranty applies exclusively to products purchased from Shokz or its authorized dealers.
The benefits to the consumer given by this warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies of the consumer under a law in relation to the goods to which the warranty relates.
No provision of this Warranty Policy shall apply to a single earbud purchased separately under the Shokz Single Earbud Purchase Program. Such purchases are governed exclusively by the applicable Single Earbud Terms & Conditions.
What does the Shokz warranty cover?
This warranty applies only to new, genuine Shokz products originally purchased from Shokz or its authorized dealers, by customers in their capacity as consumers defined by the Australian Consumer Law, or given as a gift. It does not cover products purchased for resale, through unauthorized channels, or in any second-hand transaction.
The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the headphones, charging case, magnetic charging cable, and wireless adapter (collectively referred to as the “product”). Free promotional gifts and other accessories are not covered. If the charging case or one of the earbuds is defective, the entire set will be replaced. This provision does not apply to a single earbud purchased under the Shokz Single Earbud Purchase Program.
The warranty does not cover defects or damage resulting from improper use or maintenance, normal wear and tear, commercial use, accident, loss, theft, or any other external causes. Any unauthorized repair, modification, or customization will void the warranty.
Should a covered defect arise within the warranty period, Shokz will replace the product with an equivalent new unit that is the same or similar to your original product and has been tested to meet Shokz functional requirements.
What happens after I submit a warranty claim?
Please note that submitting a warranty claim does not automatically qualify a product for warranty service. To assess warranty eligibility, all products must be returned to our designated warehouse for inspection. Once the returned product is received, our warehouse team will complete the inspection within one business day. If the product is confirmed to be covered under our warranty policy, we will promptly arrange for a replacement product to be shipped to you. Please note that the overall processing time may vary depending on shipping transit times and local logistics conditions.
What should I include when returning my product for warranty service?
Please return only the Shokz product(s) and accessories specifically requested by our support team. Before shipping, remove any personal belongings or unrelated items from the package. Shokz cannot store or safeguard personal belongings or unrelated items and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, is not responsible for your loss, damage, or disposal.
Who bears the expense of a warranty claim?
Shokz will bear the reasonable expense of returning the product for warranty service, including postage and shipping costs. To claim reimbursement of expenses incurred in making a warranty claim, please submit receipts for postage costs to support.au@shokz.com within 30 days of the claim being processed.
How to submit a warranty claim?
If you notice a fault or defect with your product, please stop using it immediately and prepare a description of the issue. For fast and convenient support within the first 30 days after purchase, we recommend contacting the authorized dealer or retailer from whom you purchased the product. If there is no local distributor or authorized dealer in your country, you can submit a warranty claim here with your product’s serial number (printed on the packaging, warranty card, and headphones/charging case, typically 12–14 digits, letters or numbers) and a proof of purchase (a valid tax invoice issued by Shokz or its authorized retailers showing the product model, purchase date, and retailer). Without these, your warranty claim cannot be processed.
Warranty claims may also be sent by post to: support.au@shokz.com.
What if my headphones were received as a gift?
If you received your headphones as a gift and are unable to provide a valid proof of purchase, the warranty period will be calculated from ninety (90) days after the manufacturing date as indicated by the product’s serial number.
How long will it take to process my warranty claim?
Our customer service team will typically respond to your submitted warranty claim within 2–3 business days. Upon receiving all required documents or information from you, we generally process the replacement within an additional 4–5 business days. Please note that actual processing times may vary depending on replacement inventory and other circumstances.
If we do not receive a necessary response from you within 7 days, the pending claim will be closed. You may submit a new warranty claim at any time during the remaining warranty period. Please be advised that warranty service cannot be provided after the warranty has expired.
Is repair service available for my headphones?
Due to the complexity of the device and other factors, Shokz is currently unable to offer repair services. Instead, we provide warranty coverage for manufacturing defects.
All new products come with a two-year limited warranty, while certified refurbished products are covered by a one-year limited warranty, both commencing from the original date of purchase.
If the charging case or one of the earbuds is defective, the entire set will be replaced within the warranty period and in accordance with the warranty coverage. This provision does not apply to a single earbud purchased under the Shokz Single Earbud Purchase Program.
What happens with my replacement product?
Your replacement unit will, subject to availability, be the same model, size, and color as the original product. If the original model has been discontinued, we will provide a functionally equivalent or superior replacement.
Please note that if the charging case or one of the earbuds is defective, the entire set will be replaced under the terms of the warranty. This provision does not apply to a single earbud purchased under the Shokz Single Earbud Purchase Program.
The warranty period for the replacement product will align with the local warranty policy. In the absence of specific local regulations, the warranty period will continue from the original date of purchase and will not be renewed.
Can I get warranty service in a different country or region?
Yes, Shokz provides out-of-area warranty service for products purchased through authorized channels. This service is governed by the official warranty policy of the product’s place of purchase and is available provided that you are located in a Service Region (where Shokz or its authorized distributors operate) and the same product model is officially sold there.
If the model is not available in your current location or if you are outside all Service Regions, we can arrange a replacement to be shipped to a valid address within a Service Region where the model is officially sold.
Please note that specific procedures and requirements may vary depending on local warranty policies.
Australian Consumer Law
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
