Mifos malfunction & they don't honor their warranty
I purchased Mifo 05 earbuds in March, 2022, based on some good reviews on a couple of websites. The pairing (with each other and with the devices I use them with) was always a little finicky, the sound was so so, but I felt they were ok for the price. After about 2.5 months of use, the earbuds would no longer pair with each other when connected to my MacBook Pro computer. I received quick customer service from someone named Jacob, who walked me through many many steps (repeatedly resetting them, draining and charging them, cleaning them, updating audio and bluetooth drivers on my computer, pairing to new devices), and none of these things worked. After mailing my earbuds back at my own expense, I was given a warrantied replacement. Fast forward another three months, and the replacement pair have the same. exact. problem. Again, Jacob walks me through the same steps (which I have already tried, referencing my previous emails with Mifo), and again - it does nothing. I emailed Mifo in frustration and asked if perhaps Mifos had a compatibility issue with Apple products. Jacob then sends me an email that does not address my compatibility question. He says, "Hi, [my name]. Thank you for your message. Your return request has been approved. To process your request, please mail your product in its original packaging including all accessories and manuals to our returns center," followed by an address and instructions. I sent the second pair back, again at my own expense. When I emailed them with my tracking info, and asking how I would receive a refund (to my original payment source? a check?), Jacob responded, "Thank you for the message. We checked the email thread and it appears the return request is only approved for a replacement. Regards, Jacob Mifo Support" I responded that this was clearly not what he had said, that I wanted a refund, but -- fine -- I would accept a new pair. At this point the USPS tracking information indicates that they made multiple unsuccessful attempts to deliver the package ("no access to delivery location"), followed by the package never being returned to me. I've never been so burned by a company, and am so pissed.
