The term "Chinese speakers" has been mentioned frequently for a long time, and is a common phrase among some customers. However, don't take it too seriously. To find out more, some JBL speaker models assembled in China are still good and affordable!

How to identify Chinese JBL speakers and genuine JBL speakers

Note a few points when choosing between genuine JBL speakers and those made in China. Although JBL speakers are originally from the USA and directly managed by Harman International, you may encounter product origin information such as Mexico, China, or other countries. Don't worry, these are just locations where the company outsources production because they offer cheaper labor, a stable investment environment, and can minimize costs. In terms of quality, Harman Kardon always guarantees that JBL products are manufactured according to the company's technological standards in the USA.

Genuine JBL speakers are made in Mexico, and the authorized distributor in Vietnam is Ba Sao Company. If you see a speaker labeled "Made in China" but with the Ba Sao logo, it's likely a genuine product. Otherwise, most JBL speakers on the market are either made in China or assembled locally.

Genuine imported products must have labels and accompanying documents certifying the origin of the product.

So when buying genuine JBL speakers, you will receive product authentication documents, a warranty card, and a product label (on the product). For counterfeit JBL speakers from China, you should choose a reputable seller to ensure you receive a proper warranty and invoice.

and this is the genuine stamp from three stars

On the anti-break stamps there is a QC check code, importer's phone number, and authentication message code. 

Three Star Company has a warranty office and handles complaints about counterfeit goods. The warranty office is located at 170 Ung Van Khiem, Ward 25, Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City.  

Comparison between Chinese JBL speakers and genuine speakers

It can be said that the JBL 6012 Chinese speaker is a common phenomenon, with extremely good sound quality. If you compare 2 pairs of speakers on both sides to listen to the sound quality, it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake speakers. This is one of the speaker models that is considered to have smoothness in every note, very bright and clear treble, high clarity when singing - the JBL 2 Chinese speaker will definitely not disappoint you!

When you own this pair of speakers, you will have a feeling of comfort, relaxation and extreme satisfaction! Having such excellent sound quality cannot be without mentioning the 30cm bass of this JBL bass 30 speaker model, combined with high-end speaker rims, the sound is very clear and full! Therefore, if you are tight on budget, I think you should also consider this product, the price is 1/3 cheaper than the branded speaker.

Many people say buying JBL speakers is just for the " brand name " and a waste of money. However, did you know that JBL is one of the world's largest audio companies with exclusive benefits and privileges for its customers? To enjoy high-quality sound, choosing the right supporting equipment is also crucial. You can consider a powered mixer for the perfect combination with your sound system. Genuine JBL speakers can be serviced anywhere in Vietnam through the brand's official nationwide dealers. The product is meticulously warranted, from the speaker drivers and tweeters to the speaker cabinet.

When buying JBL speakers made in China, you should choose a reputable seller and avoid buying low-quality, counterfeit JBL speakers to prevent wasting your money.

JBL speakers, used, old

Whether to buy used or new speakers is always a headache for you. Used speakers (actually speakers that have been used for many years) are a good choice. Your friends say buying used speakers is a great idea because new speakers can't compare to used ones anymore! But your wife says buying new speakers is safer because refurbished used speakers don't come with a warranty.

Usually, JBL speakers are purchased from sources such as: cafes, event companies, bars, and dance floors. Usually, speakers purchased from these places have very bad sound and after a period of use, one part after another breaks down.

Stores specializing in purchasing used goods from karaoke bars, bars, floors, events, because of service, speakers have to operate for a very long time, have to work beyond capacity, so the life of the speakers is not durable. When they operate at the worst possible level, then they are liquidated to consumers. Usually, your thoughts as above may be correct, but only partly correct, why?

For used JBL speakers , they are definitely pre-owned (old), although the extent of their age depends on the specific product.

Used JBL speakers can originate from many places around the world, so I can't definitively say which country they were manufactured in. When buying used JBL speakers, you probably won't find any documentation to confirm their origin. At best, you might find labels and tags on the speakers.

Official distributor of JBL Audio in Vietnam

As I said above, BaSao officially distributes JBL and Harman Kardon products in general in Vietnam. So, do all JBL speaker products have the stamp of this unit? As far as I know, during my time working in the audio industry in Vietnam, Harman Kardon (parent corporation headquartered in the USA) divided JBL speaker lines into 2 segments:

1. JBL Home series karaoke speakers

This is a product line to serve family entertainment utilities such as JBL bass 30 karaoke speakers, JBL sub with models: JBL RM10II RM12II (with RM series, Phuc Giang Audio PGI is authorized for these series in Vietnam, it is not surprising when you see the PGI logo stamp on JBL speaker products and the products are of course genuine

.

Briefly speaking, some of you probably know. Higher-end ones include JBL KS KI, (Ha Phat Audio signed a controlled exclusive distribution contract with BASAO, but the contract expired in 2019) Eon One…

The home line is easy to understand to serve the needs of simple family and business customers. JBL home speakers for commercial use have products such as ceiling speakers, spa speakers, coffee speakers...

2. JBL Pro Speaker Lines

JBL models are aimed at bold entertainment categories such as Bar, performance, event program, ROCK, EDM Show,.. Full range Array products will be performed at the above entertainment activities.
