So it's best to pocket the following knowledge to help identify genuine Bose speakers easily.

How to distinguish genuine Bose speakers through external features 

Fake Bose speakers :

• The appearance of fake Bose speakers is often made to be 80-90% similar to real speakers. Non-genuine speaker products often focus more on the external appearance than the internal quality.
• You can use your hand to touch the speaker mesh (also called the grille) on the front of the speaker to check. If it is a fake speaker, this membrane will be soft and mushy.
• The fake Bose speaker will have an uneven plastic rim around the Bass speaker while the real speaker is very even.
• Unlike the characteristic scent of real Bose speakers, when smelling fake Bose speakers, we will smell a strong and pungent smell.
• Genuine speaker box when opened has the date of manufacture and serial number printed on the top. Fake speaker box has no embossed letters L, R and serial number on the back. The mesh fabric is a bit rough to the touch, not smooth.
• The wire running in the fake speaker is hard copper wire, it can break immediately when bent, not soft like the genuine wire. The color is a bit darker.

Real Bose speakers:

• When buying, you need to be observant and carefully observe the exterior of the speaker. Real Bose speakers always have rough lines and look rougher than fake Bose speakers. So do not mistake products with beautiful designs for genuine, high-end products. The exterior design is also quite important, but the main thing is still the quality of the internal machine for the best sound quality to users.
• Genuine Bose speakers will have a tight and hard mesh. Just a light touch and you can feel it right away.
• Genuine Bose speakers are also designed with high-quality materials and special paint, so whether you use them for 10 years or 20 years, they will still have the same characteristic scent. You can put your nose into the speaker's vent and smell it, you will feel the distinct smell of a genuine speaker.
• Genuine speaker boxes will have the manufacturing date and serial number printed on them when opened.

Distinguishing real and fake Bose speakers by internal structure

If you can’t tell which speaker is real and which is fake by looking at it with the naked eye, the best way is to check the internal structure. You can open the 4 screws on the front of the speaker, if you see the frame is detached, it is definitely a fake speaker. Genuine, high-quality Bose speakers will have the frame attached to the bass speaker.

In addition, the wires connecting to the Treble speaker, the speaker terminal connection wire... in fake Bose speakers are often very loose, making it easy to take out the bass or treble speaker. Meanwhile, in genuine speakers, they are connecting wires that are coiled together. If you want to take out the bass or treble speaker, you have to open these wire coils.
