The thinkplus GM2 Pro TWS headphones were briefly available for just 99 cents on AliExpress, but that deal has since changed. A new offer for the Lenovo thinkplus LP5 headphones is now available at the same price, boasting higher quality and features like USB-C charging, 24 hours of playback, and active noise cancelling. Limited to new customers, this deal allows multiple orders under different accounts. Check the ‘Bargains’ section for ongoing deals and subscribe for updates.
For several weeks, the thinkplus GM2 Pro TWS in-ear headphones were offered at an unbelievable price of just 99 cents on AliExpress. We not only placed our own order for these headphones, but many of our readers did as well, enjoying savings of over 10 euros compared to the next best option available on eBay.
Unfortunately, the link for the 99-cent deal has undergone multiple changes, and we can no longer locate the headphones on AliExpress at that price. This is the unfortunate news for anyone interested.
However, there’s good news: We’ve discovered an even more enticing offer with the ‘Lenovo thinkplus LP5’ headphones. Although the price remains at the unbeatable 99 cents, you will receive headphones of significantly higher quality, with a domestic comparison price starting from at least 33.71 euros, as seen on Amazon.
You might not anticipate a top-performing product in the budget category of 99-cent in-ear headphones, and your instincts are likely correct. We have placed an order for these headphones and will provide updates on the product, including whether it arrives as promised and our impressions of its quality. Currently, the estimated delivery time is noted as 14 days, as we doubt that AliExpress will actually find a way to deliver the package 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. They were in our mailbox on December 27, and the total delivery time over the holiday period was eight days.
We were quite pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of the GM2 Pro TWS in our previous order. The specifications for the new LP5 headphones appear to be equally promising:
Featuring a USB-C connection, these headphones are designed to charge fully in 60 minutes and provide up to 24 hours of playback. They claim to be ‘waterproof’ and resistant to both rain and sweat, although AliExpress does not specify an IPX rating. On Amazon, the title mentions IPX4 protection for splash resistance, yet the product description later refers to IPX5—could it be that they’re actually only rated at IPX3? We will be conducting tests soon to clarify this. Additionally, these headphones are reported to include Active Noise Cancelling technology.
In summary: At a price point of just 99 cents with shipping included, ordering these headphones is a no-brainer. AliExpress offers these enticing prices to lower the barrier for first-time buyers, aiming to impress with their shopping experience, ordering process, delivery, and ultimately, quality products. We encourage you to share your own ordering experiences with AliExpress.
WARNING: The 99-cent price is exclusively available to new customers. If you log into your account while browsing AliExpress, you will see different prices (12.19/12.99 euros).
Order quantities are limited to one headphone per customer, and you cannot purchase other new customer offers afterward. However, if you have multiple email addresses, you can successfully place multiple orders for the headphones to the same delivery address under the same name using different accounts—this has been tested and confirmed. Even with the same mobile number used across all orders, there will be no issues during the ordering process.
While looking for alternatives to the GM2 Pro TWS, we stumbled upon another 99-cent headphone model from Lenovo. This alternative has a comparison price of only 21 euros and is a more budget-friendly option. We will showcase it as a viable substitute for the LP5 in case stock runs low.
Consider getting these headphones as a backup. You might not want to risk your favorite pair in certain situations, like skiing, or have you ever searched for white headphones lost in the snow? With this economical option, you won’t worry if they fall into the water while fishing or if your dog manages to swallow one—at least concerning the headphone—or if you accidentally step on it while getting out of bed.
