Returning headphones – reason: didn't fit

Updated Reviewed by Valco's support team

Symptom

Customer wants to return a product because it doesn't suit their needs. Typically the headphones don't fit on their head without pain, or ANC doesn't work as expected.


Quick Fix

Send a return request to customer support at info@valco.fi with your order number, and we'll sort out the return or exchange.

Sometimes a purchase just doesn't hit the mark. The headphones squeeze, the ANC doesn't do what you expected, or the device just doesn't feel right. It's not the end of the world – even though we'd love to keep your money (the Death Star doesn't fund itself), we have to admit: the wrong product is the wrong product.

And here's where we need to say one thing straight up: if you ordered a Nordell Micro speaker and you're complaining that the headphones don't fit your head – it's a Bluetooth speaker, not headphones. A small, 200-gram box that plays music on a table. You don't put it on your head. If you received the wrong product or accidentally ordered the wrong device, we'll sort that out too, of course.

Check these first

  • Did you order the right product? Nordell Micro is a portable Bluetooth speaker, not headphones. If you need headphones, we'll find you the right model.
  • Is it about ANC? The Nordell Micro doesn't have noise cancellation, because it's a speaker. If you were expecting ANC, you've probably been looking at the wrong product page – or we somehow managed to mix up the packaging, which is rare but not impossible.
  • Is the device faulty? If the speaker isn't working properly, that's a different thing from a return. We'll repair a faulty device – that's what our service centre in Kajaani is for.

How to return a product

Returning is straightforward:

  1. Send an email to info@valco.fi
  2. Include your order number and the reason for the return
  3. We'll send you return instructions and a return label if needed
  4. Pack the product in its original packaging (or equivalent – just make sure it doesn't arrive in confetti)
  5. Your money will be refunded once the device has made it back to us

Under EU distance selling regulations, you have 14 days to return a product. The product needs to be functional and in reasonable condition – so yes, you can try it out, but don't take it rallycrossing.

If you want to swap for a different model

If you actually need headphones and not a speaker, tell us what you're after. Do you want:

  • Wireless earbuds – small, light, fit in your pocket
  • Over-ear headphones – bigger sound, better ANC, go on your head
  • Or is the Nordell Micro the right device, but something's off? – tell us what, and we'll figure it out

We'll help you find the right product. We have zero interest in selling you the wrong device – an unhappy customer doesn't buy a second time, and the whole point of our business model is that second time.

If nothing helps

Drop us a message at info@valco.fi and we'll get it sorted. Include your order number so we don't have to guess who you are and what you ordered.

Returning the wrong product is a bit like ordering the wrong beer – annoying, but fixable. Next time you'll nail it.

Still stuck?

We get it — technology should just work. If these steps didn't help, our support team is ready. Include the following when reaching out:

  • Your product model and firmware version
  • A description of the issue
  • Steps you've already tried from this article

Nordell Max portable Bluetooth speaker

Nordell Max

In stock

MK3:n raskaasti varusteltu isoveli. Noin parin kilon mötikkä puhdasta meteliä työmaalle, paljun reunalle tai naapurien kiusaksi. Mekkalaa lähtee yhtä paljon kuin pienestä pitäjästä, basso kuuluu kirkolta kotia asti. Pysyy paikoillaan, kestää roiskeet (ja todennäköisesti virtsan) ja soittaa musiikkia niin vähintään riittävän kovaa. Ei siis mikään turha vehje!
