After a brief period of availability, the thinkplus GM2 Pro TWS headphones at 99 cents on AliExpress are no longer offered at that price. However, a new option, the Lenovo thinkplus LP5, is now available for the same price, promising better quality. With features like USB-C charging, 24 hours of playback, and claimed waterproofing, these headphones represent a low-risk purchase. New customers can only buy one unit at this price, and various alternatives are suggested for those seeking durable options.
For several weeks, the thinkplus GM2 Pro TWS in-ear headphones were being offered for an incredible price of just 99 cents on AliExpress. We decided to order these headphones ourselves, and many of our readers did the same, saving over 10 euros compared to the next lowest price found on eBay.
Unfortunately, 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. This is disappointing news for potential buyers.
However, there’s a silver lining: We’ve discovered an even more appealing offer for the ‘Lenovo thinkplus LP5’ headphones. While the price has dropped to the same 99 cents, these headphones boast superior quality, with the domestic price comparison showing a minimum of 33.71 euros, as seen on Amazon.
It’s unlikely that anyone would expect a top-tier in-ear headphone for just 99 cents, and you might be correct in that assumption. We’ve placed an order for these headphones and will share our experience regarding the timely delivery and overall quality. Currently, the stated delivery time is 14 days, as we doubt AliExpress would find someone to deliver them in just 13 days on January 1st.
Update 27.12.2024: As anticipated, the headphones did not arrive on New Year’s Day. Instead, they showed up five days early, on December 27, with the total delivery time being eight days over the holiday season.
We were pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of the previous GM2 Pro TWS offer. The specifications of this new model also appear promising on paper:
Equipped with a USB-C connection, these headphones are designed to charge in 60 minutes and offer 24 hours of playback time. They are advertised as ‘waterproof’ and resistant to rain and sweat—though there’s no mention of an official IPX rating on AliExpress. Conversely, Amazon references IPX4 protection, indicating splash resistance, but later mentions IPX5, leading to speculation that it may only be IPX3 in reality. We will test this soon. Additionally, these headphones are claimed to feature Active Noise Cancelling technology.
To summarize, at just 99 cents with free shipping, ordering these headphones is a low-risk decision. AliExpress aims to make the first purchase as easy as possible to enhance your shopping experience, from the ordering process to delivery, and ultimately providing you with quality products. We encourage you to share your own experiences with ordering from AliExpress.
CAUTION: The 99-cent price is only available to new customers. If you log into your customer account while browsing AliExpress, different prices (12.19/12.99 euros) will appear.
The maximum order quantity is limited to one headphone per customer, and you cannot make additional new customer offers afterwards. However, if you have multiple email addresses, you can successfully place several orders to the same delivery address under different new accounts. We have tested this and it works seamlessly, even if the mobile number provided matches across all orders.
While searching for a replacement for the GM2 Pro TWS, we came across another 99-cent headphone from Lenovo. With a comparison price of only 21 euros, this model is more affordable and serves as a viable alternative to the LP5 in case stock runs low.
Consider grabbing these headphones just in case. You might not want to risk your favorite pair during activities like skiing, or if you’ve ever lost a white headphone in the snow. This product is perfect for situations where durability matters, like if it falls into the water while fishing, or if your dog decides to chew on it—or even if you accidentally step on it when getting out of bed.
