For a limited time, the thinkplus GM2 Pro TWS earbuds were available for just 99 cents on AliExpress, attracting many buyers. Unfortunately, that deal has ended. However, the Lenovo thinkplus LP5 headphones are now offered at the same price, promising better quality. They feature USB-C charging, impressive playback time, and Active Noise Cancelling. New customers can still take advantage of this deal, but only one pair can be purchased per account.
For several weeks, the thinkplus GM2 Pro TWS in-ear headphones were on sale for an incredible price of just 99 cents on AliExpress. We not only purchased a pair ourselves, but numerous readers also took advantage of this deal, saving over 10 euros compared to the next closest option available on eBay.
However, the unfortunate news is that the link to the 99-cent offer has been altered multiple times, and these headphones are no longer available at that price on AliExpress.
But here’s the good news: We’ve discovered an even better deal for you with the ‘Lenovo thinkplus LP5’ headphones. While the price has also dropped to 99 cents, these headphones offer significantly enhanced quality, with a domestic comparison price starting at a minimum of 33.71 euros, as seen on Amazon.
It’s likely that you don’t expect a top-rated in-ear headphone experience for just 99 cents, and you would be right in thinking that. We’ve ordered these headphones and will provide feedback on whether they arrive as promised and what our impressions of their quality are. The current shipping time is listed as 14 days, as we don’t anticipate AliExpress will find someone to deliver them in just 13 days on January 1.
Update 27.12.2024: As expected, the headphones did not arrive on New Year’s Day but were delivered five days earlier, landing in our mailbox on December 27. The total delivery time was eight days, even during the holiday season.
We were quite pleased with the quality of the GM2 Pro TWS from our previous order. On paper, the specifications of the new LP5 model sound equally promising:
Equipped with a USB-C connection, these headphones are expected to fully charge in just 60 minutes and provide up to 24 hours of playback time. They are claimed to be ‘waterproof’ and resistant to rain and sweat, although there’s no mention of an IPX rating on AliExpress. However, Amazon suggests they have IPX4 protection, which means they are splash-proof, yet there’s a mention of IPX5 in the product description—could it actually be closer to IPX3? We’ll be testing this soon. Additionally, these headphones are said to include Active Noise Cancelling features.
In summary: at a price of just 99 cents, including shipping, you can’t go wrong with this purchase. AliExpress offers such low prices to minimize the barrier for first-time buyers and to impress you with the entire shopping experience—from ordering and delivery to receiving high-quality products. We encourage you to share your own experiences with ordering from AliExpress.
IMPORTANT: The 99-cent price is exclusively available to new customers. If you’re logged into your existing account while visiting AliExpress, you may see different prices (12.19/12.99 euros).
You can only order one pair of headphones per customer under this deal, and subsequent new customer offers cannot be purchased. However, if you have multiple email addresses, you can place orders multiple times to the same delivery address with the same name using different new accounts—this has been successfully tested. Even if all orders share the same mobile number, there are no issues during checkout.
While searching for a replacement for the GM2 Pro TWS, we also came across another pair of Lenovo headphones for just 99 cents. This alternative model has a lower comparison price of only 21 euros, and we present it as a backup option to the LP5 in case it runs out of stock.
Consider picking up these headphones as a backup. They might not be your go-to for everyday use, but they’re perfect for activities like skiing or fishing. No worries if they fall into the water or get lost in the snow—these affordable headphones are designed to be your low-risk option.
