For a limited time, thinkplus GM2 Pro TWS headphones were available for just 99 cents on AliExpress, enticing many buyers. However, that deal has since disappeared. A new offer for Lenovo thinkplus LP5 headphones is now available at the same price, boasting superior quality and features like USB-C charging and potential water resistance. Customers are encouraged to take advantage of this risk-free deal, although the 99-cent offer is limited to new buyers only.
For several weeks, the thinkplus GM2 Pro TWS in-ear headphones were being offered for an unbeatable price of just 99 cents on AliExpress. We not only took the plunge and ordered these headphones ourselves, but many of our readers did too, enjoying savings of over 10 euros compared to the next best price on eBay.
Unfortunately, the link for the 99-cent deal has changed multiple times, and it seems that these headphones are no longer available at that price on AliExpress. This is disappointing news for those who were hoping to grab a pair.
However, we bring you some positive news: We’ve discovered an even more attractive deal for the ‘Lenovo thinkplus LP5’ headphones. While the price has reached the same appealing 99 cents, these headphones promise much higher quality, with a comparative price in the domestic market starting at a minimum of 33.71 euros, available on platforms like Amazon.
You might not expect to find a top-rated in-ear headphone for just 99 cents, and you would probably be right. We’ve ordered these headphones and will update you on whether they arrive as promised and our impressions of their quality. The current estimated delivery time is 14 days, as we’re not banking on AliExpress finding someone who can deliver in just 13 days on January 1st.
Update 27.12.2024: As anticipated, the headphones didn’t arrive on New Year’s Day but arrived five days earlier, landing in our mailbox on December 27. The total delivery time was eight days, even during the busy Christmas season.
Previously, we were quite pleased with our experience ordering the GM2 Pro TWS. Based on the specifications of this new offer, it looks promising as well:
Equipped with a USB-C connection, the headphones claim to charge in just 60 minutes and provide 24 hours of playback time. They are marketed as ‘waterproof’ and resistant to rain and sweat—though no IPX rating is confirmed on AliExpress. On Amazon, the title mentions IPX4 for splash protection, while the product description refers to IPX5, leaving us to wonder if they might actually be IPX3. We’ll be testing this shortly. Additionally, the headphones are said to feature Active Noise Cancelling technology.
In summary, at a price of just 99 cents including shipping, ordering these headphones is a risk-free decision. AliExpress aims to lower the barrier for first-time buyers and showcase a positive shopping experience, from ordering to delivery and receiving quality products. We invite you to share your own experiences with ordering from AliExpress.
CAUTION: The 99-cent price is exclusively available to new customers. If you log into your account when visiting AliExpress, you will see different prices (12.19/12.99 euros).
Each customer is limited to one pair of headphones, and subsequent new customer offers cannot be ordered. However, if you have multiple email addresses, you can place several orders to the same address under different new accounts—this has been successfully tested. Even if the phone number matches across orders, you won’t encounter any issues during checkout.
While on the hunt for a replacement for the GM2 Pro TWS, we came across another pair of 99-cent headphones from Lenovo. This alternative has a comparison price of just 21 euros, but it is a more basic model. We’re showcasing it as an option alongside the LP5, should stocks dwindle. Update: The price for this alternative has now increased to 1.89 euros.
Consider picking up these headphones as a backup. They’re perfect for situations where you may not want to risk your favorite pair, like skiing, or searching for a white headphone in the snow. With this option, you won’t worry if they tumble into the water while fishing, if your dog decides to chew them (at least in terms of the headphones), or if you accidentally step on them when getting out of bed.
