The thinkplus GM2 Pro TWS headphones were briefly available for just 99 cents on AliExpress, but that deal has ended. However, a new offer for the Lenovo thinkplus LP5 headphones at the same price promises better quality and performance. These headphones feature USB-C charging, up to 24 hours of playback, and Active Noise Cancelling. Limited to new customers, this deal allows for one order per person, but multiple accounts can be used for additional purchases.
For several weeks, the thinkplus GM2 Pro TWS in-ear headphones were up for grabs at an astonishingly low price of just 99 cents on AliExpress. We took the plunge and ordered a pair for ourselves, and many of our readers followed suit, enjoying savings of over 10 euros compared to the next best option available on eBay.
However, there’s some unfortunate news to share: the link for the 99-cent deal has undergone multiple changes, and as of now, these headphones are no longer available at that price on AliExpress. That’s the disappointing update for anyone eager to snag a pair.
But here’s the silver lining: We’ve discovered an even more enticing offer with the ‘Lenovo thinkplus LP5’ headphones. While they hit the same low price of 99 cents, they come with significantly better quality, boasting a domestic comparison price of at least 33.71 euros on platforms like Amazon.
You might not expect a top-performing in-ear headphone at just 99 cents, and chances are, you’re right. We’ve placed an order for these headphones and will keep you posted on whether they arrive as promised and how they perform in terms of quality. The estimated delivery time is currently set at 14 days, although we doubt AliExpress will manage to deliver them in just 13 days on January 1st.
Update 27.12.2024: As anticipated, the headphones didn’t arrive on New Year’s Day but rather five days earlier: they landed in our mailbox on December 27, with a total delivery time of eight days over the Christmas period.
We were quite satisfied with the quality and service from the previous GM2 Pro TWS offer. The specifications for this new model also appear promising:
With a USB-C charging port, these headphones can fully charge in 60 minutes and provide a playback time of up to 24 hours. They are advertised as ‘waterproof’ and resistant to both rain and sweat, yet no official IPX rating is mentioned on AliExpress. Interestingly, while the title on Amazon suggests an IPX4 splash protection, the product description mentions IPX5—could it be that the actual rating is IPX3? We’ll put that to the test shortly. Additionally, these headphones tout Active Noise Cancelling features.
In summary: At just 99 cents with shipping included, ordering these headphones is virtually risk-free. AliExpress uses these low prices to make your first purchase as easy as possible, hoping to impress you with their shopping experience, order process, delivery, and quality of the goods. We encourage you to share your own experiences with purchasing from AliExpress.
CAUTION: The 99-cent price is exclusively available to new customers. If you’re logged into your account while visiting AliExpress, you may encounter different prices (12.19/12.99 euros).
Each customer is limited to one headphone order, and you won’t be able to place additional orders for new customer offers afterward. However, if you have multiple email addresses, you can successfully order the headphones multiple times to the same address using different accounts—this method has been tested and works smoothly, even with the same mobile number.
While on the lookout for a replacement for the GM2 Pro TWS, we also stumbled upon another 99-cent headphone from Lenovo. The comparison price for this model is only 21 euros, and it serves as a more affordable alternative to the LP5, should stock run low.
Consider getting these headphones as a backup. They’re perfect for situations where you might not want to risk your favorite pair—like skiing or fishing. Plus, if they accidentally fall into the water or get swallowed by your dog, you won’t be too upset—after all, it’s only a headphone.
