⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation
Contact support under the seller's warranty and marketplace return policy if, after following all usage and troubleshooting instructions, the cable exhibits persistent issues such as complete absence of sound on one or both channels, constant noise that does not cease with cleaning, or if connectors become detached from the cable without signs of misuse. These may indicate a manufacturing defect.
