Guide to Locating the Serial Number (SN) of Your soundcore Headphones

The product’s serial number is a unique identifier that differentiates it from other products of the same brand or model, tracking key information such as production batches, dates, and warranty periods. This is distinct from the software serial number in the supporting soundcore APP. For warranty claims, submit the product serial number, not the software SN.

We’ve provided SN locations for reference. Most soundcore products on sale can be identified by a 16-digit number on the packaging, e.g., SN: XXX123.
