    I see PayPal mentioned on their page, if you go that route you're safe.

    Good price for a decent set of headphones. Something to be mindful of for anyone purchasing though - they seem to have a common design flaw in that the left ear cup often becomes loose and detaches from the arm holding it in place.

    I have them and it happened after a couple of weeks of use without any apparent reason - I didn't mishandle or drop them - I simply picked them up one day and the earcup fell off. I was able to get it back on and it still works, but it's extremely loose and doesn't sit right when wearing them. After looking at user reviews on Amazon it doesn't seem to be an awfully rare occurrence.

    This is the third set in our house. Wife, son and now daughter for Xmas .. we did have one of them break and was replaced hassle free. I bought one set from richersounds and one from argos. Argos had the Canadian version and costed something like 84 euro.. mobilefun is the cheapest I've seen. I've ordered cases for phones before and no hassle from them

    I'm on my second pair, and the left speaker is doing the same on the second pair. I thought I was just unlucky! A pure pain in the hole.

    Exact thing happened to me this morning after about 8 months with them, such a shame as they've been a great pair of headphones otherwise.

    Same thing happens to me, the headphone pops out of the socket with regularity, wouldn't recommend them, sound wise they're quality, but they're the worst build quality I've had.
