    If you are unsure as to the authenticity of the product or its extended warranty because i see some reviews stating fake mic mic broke easily etc simply contact the manufacturer rode before the purchase and have your seller verified

    The manufacturer rode will only support this warranty and otherwise if purchased from an authorized dealer which does not include anyone on amazon
