My JBL speaker was delivered to a different address 1/2 mile away.
My JBL speaker was delivered to the wrong address. It was not received. Simple as that. Their courier DPD dropped it off, seamingly, outside the door of the town hall???? This is approx. 1/2 mile from my house. I received notification it had been delivered and I called them straight away to let them know the delivery had failed. What was supposed to take 7 days to sort out is now two weeks later. What is frustrating and unacceptable is the fact that Harman claims the "case is still under investigation." They cannot tell me what that investigation entails or give me a date when it can be resolved so I am being fobbed off. Not good enough! Case # 19475006

They just abandoned my package in one of their colection points, not on the adress given.
They just abandoned my package in one of their colection points, requiring me to go into the City to get It, instead of delivering It at the adress stated on my request.
Never contactes me by phone/message, never even got close to where they had to deliver it. Hilarius, unprofesional, fraud and ilegal, untrastfull, fake, "never again" company.

WHO NEXT? How Samsung’s $350,000,000 Denon Acquisition Hides a Systematic Corporate Censorship Scheme.
This is not just a dispute about headphones. This is a story about how a monopoly operates in the consumer market. Samsung, through its subsidiary Harman, controls over 20 leading audio brands, including JBL, AKG, Bowers & Wilkins, Denon, and Marantz. Unfortunately, the policy I encountered has proven to be uniform across this giant concern.
I purchased my premium AKG N9 Hybrid headphones directly from Harman Audio on eBay. I am a loyal customer with a 100% positive rating (1886) on eBay since 2007. I trusted the commitment to quality from a Samsung subsidiary.
When a manufacturing defect (glue separation) appeared after only four months, I expected a simple warranty solution. Instead, the company systematically:
Created an impossible financial barrier (a non-refundable $220 shipping fee BEFORE the official defect recognition).
Annulled its official defect recognition.
Executed corporate censorship by immediately blocking my service email address after escalating the matter to Samsung headquarters. Critical Evidence: Systematic Shadow Ban Confirmed. The corporate policy of concealment culminated in a systematic "shadow ban" of the customer's account on public platforms. This action, targeting the user directly after exposing the warranty fraud, constitutes a GROSS VIOLATION and undeniable evidence of Deceptive Business Practices.
I submitted comprehensive evidence of censorship and 'Sham Warranty' to the BBB on November 15th. Samsung’s refusal to mediate resulted in the BBB officially closing the complaint as 'Unresolved’ under Complaint ID: 24028418, 12/01/2025.
This systematic process resulted in the effective reduction of the warranty term by 6 months (headphones purchased 04/15, annulment ~10/15), which constitutes a GROSS VIOLATION of the sales contract and consumer rights.
The headphones are no longer a product; they are evidence.
Reputation is the most valuable currency. And it is the hardest thing to recover once it has been lost! A final payment of $439.95(MSRP)will be made to fully restore the warranty and uphold the consumer’s rights. This payment does not affect or conclude the ongoing investigation into other matters related to censorship and suppression of information.
I believe that the deceptive business practices of such large corporations (and their subsidiaries) must be discussed openly and must not be subject to censorship. I am confident that I am not the only one who has faced this problem and their policy. My conflict clearly demonstrates that the corporate policy of censorship affects the entire umbrella of Samsung's audio empire. As a dedicated audiophile who owns the premium Denon PerL Pro headphones (a brand recently acquired by Harman in the $350 million Sound United deal), I have a legitimate and pressing concern: I do not want the same 'Sham Warranty' and corporate censorship applied to my Denon product.
The story of how a major corporation forces a customer to buy silence, and the full evidence package, are available.

UPDATE — August 2026
Since publishing this review, I pursued every formal resolution process available.
Harman received a formal Notice of Dispute.
The company proposed a replacement, an alternative replacement, and later a refund.
The dispute was submitted to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and was later closed administratively without a decision on the merits.
Additional evidence, official correspondence, and the complete chronology have since been documented and submitted to consumer protection authorities.
Two questions remain unanswered:
How can a written warranty approval be reversed without any identified new inspection, technical findings, or documented explanation?
If a manufacturer's written warranty approval can be disregarded without explanation, what meaningful protection does that warranty actually provide?

I purchased a computer table from…
I purchased a computer table from HARMIN LTD, and the quality was extremely disappointing. The product materials felt very cheap, the finish was poor, and it did not match the description or expectations. Assembly was frustrating due to badly designed parts, and the overall build is unstable and unsafe for regular use. This is by far the worst quality product I have ever purchased, and I would not recommend HARMIN LTD to anyone.
