Puretone is not a legitimate authorized Bose Seller

Puretone is not a legitimate authorized seller of Bose headphones. Bose explicitly states that the only way to ensure you’re buying genuine products is through Bose directly or their authorized dealers, as unauthorized sellers often risk offering counterfeits or stolen goods. Reviews of Puretone (puretone.net) highlight issues like poor quality and bad customer service, with no evidence linking them to Bose authorization

Hi,

I am sorry to inform you that we are not puretonestore.com or any company of that name. We do not sell any Bose headphones to members of the public, nor do we sell our hearing products into the US.

We are having to deal with these types of complaints often as someone is using our company name to defraud people. We are as much a victim as you as this is taking up our time to manage the enquiries and also dealing with our solicitors about stopping this individual.

We fully understand your frustration, but we are not connected to the transaction you have described and now our Trust Pilot reviews are being affected for something that is not our fault thus further harming our reputation/business. I would therefore kindly please ask you to remove your review as the product you ordered was not from us.

I purchased a Puretone Sound Oasis…

I purchased a Puretone Sound Oasis Travel sound generator in March 2024 for £62.99 and by October 2025 I was having problems charging because the battery would sustain the charge. This issue fluctuated and by December 2025 the battery would not work and due to the design this meant it wouldn't work even when connected to the mains. When I sent it for repair they said that they couldn't replace the battery because of the design and that they weren't willing to replace it. I have sent them two letters since then outlining my rights as a consumer. They replied to the first saying that they were still unwilling to refund me the cost. In the second one I told them that there would be court action if they did not reply within fourteen days. I sent this on 11/03/26 but have not received a reply yet

The ProtectHear NanoComm ear pieces…

The ProtectHear NanoComm ear pieces have a bad design. The microphone boom slides down all the time during the flight. It doesn’t get fixed to the ear pieces, making it totally unreliable.
I do not recommend its use for pilots until they change the design.
I complained about it but I didn’t get any reply from customer support yet.
I had to come back to my old Bose A20.

Bad quality and bad customer service

Bad quality and bad customer service.
In two years I have send them two times to repair, it took 2 months each time, then a month after the two years they fail again, answer was that it was already out of the two year warranty.

They sold me a BROKEN headsets and keep repairing them till the end of the warranty.

Cens DX1

Have a set of DX1, but forgot to service them under the 2 year warranty. after 2 years they went faulty, asked for help,, sent them back and found due to not getting them serviced. they weren't covered for water damage.
Paid for repair.
Have since taken apart as faulty again and found that the reason they don't work is that a wire has come off inside.
Lesson learnt please get your Cens serviced to avoid any water damage

Not a pleasant experience

After paying several hundred pounds for electronic earbuds I expected a modicum of customer service, instead every one of my numerous emails asking for information concerning my order were ignored for weeks. Only when I sent a final email cancelling my order did someone nothing to contact me. Truly disappointing!

ProtectHear custom moulded hearing protection

I bought ProtectHear custom moulded earplugs earlier this year. The earplugs themselves seem to work fine for noise reduction. However, the way they attach to the retention cord is flimsy and prone to detachment. This caused me to lose one of the silicone inserts, which are expensive to replace.

The weak attachment point seems like a design flaw. I contacted customer service about it, but they were dismissive and unwilling to acknowledge any issues. This lack of helpfulness from the company is disappointing.

Overall, I would hesitate to recommend ProtectHear. The faulty attachment system that led to lost equipment is a major drawback. And the poor customer service response suggests the company is not receptive to feedback to improve. For custom fitted hearing protection, I would look to other brands that have more secure earplug retention and better support when problems arise.

What happened to my review?

I wrote a negative review about Puretone, I am still awaiting a refund for the IQ earbuds. My review has vanished, and I am still waiting for my refund. What has happened Trust Pilot?

Hi, I can confirm that we contacted you on 19 August 2021, to let you know that your refund had been issued, we also highlighted that it can take 7-10 days for funds to clear in your bank account.

This delay is out of our control, but it has not yet been 7 days, so may I ask that you please wait the full 10 days for the refund to show in your account.

After 10 days has passed if the refund is still not showing in your bank account please call us on 01634 719427 and allow us to investigate this matter further.

Kind Regards,
Puretone Ltd

Excellent customer service 10/10

I bought some iqbuds2 max from Puretone and unfortunately did not match up to the manufacturer's hype. However Puretone acted extremely well and professionally, they responded immediately, offered advice, and gave a no quibbles full refund without absolutely zero fuss. I would not hesitate in purchasing other products from them. 10 out of 10 Puretone, thank you Kristina
