Service visit local store
I am so disappointed in my local apple store. I made a service appointment which was a week out. Showed up at my scheduled time waited and waited with my sons beats studio 2 which were still under warranty. I had the receipt. I was told it would be over 200.00 to send them out to be repaired and they were three or four models ago, but that they had the latest model if I would like to purchase. I asked if they were on the studio 5 or 6 because these were from last year and I thought the newest model was the studio 3, but some stdio 2 were still in stores. He barely looked at my receipt.
I couldn't believe it and I walked around the mall debating on purchasing a new pair for my son. I didnt think the pair I originally purchased were much more than 250.00 and they said it would be over 200 to repair. I went online and looked up the repair. I ordered the part which was 16.00 and popped it back on in less than 10 minutes, they are as good as new. I was being taken advantage of, they were trying to scam me into buying a new pair - playing on the fact that it was so close to Christmas and I would give in. I am totally disgusted. Why have a warranty, so you can get more people in to purchase new ones. So disappointed in apple employee, management and the company as a whole if this is the way they do business !!!!!!
