OEM Audio Products from China: Speakers & Earbuds
2 resources tagged with "Audio"
This covers OEM and custom-brand audio hardware from Chinese factories — Bluetooth speakers and TWS earphones built around chipsets like Qualcomm or Airoha with BT 5.3. The certification stack is the gating issue: any Bluetooth product needs BQB qualification on top of CE, FCC, and RoHS before it can legally sell. OEM runs commonly start at 500 units with firmware and branding customization available at that volume.
Sourcing audio means budgeting for BQB Bluetooth qualification (which has its own fee and listing) plus the regional radio approvals, not just the unit cost. The frequent pitfall is buying on the headline chipset spec without confirming the acoustic tuning and ANC performance on a real sample — datasheet ANC and audible ANC are not the same thing.

FAQ
What's the typical MOQ for OEM Bluetooth audio?
Around 500 units for custom-brand speakers and TWS earphones, with firmware and packaging customization usually available at that tier. Lower MOQs exist but often mean stock designs with only logo changes.
What certifications does a Bluetooth speaker or earbud need?
BQB (Bluetooth qualification) is mandatory for any Bluetooth-branded product, plus CE for the EU, FCC for the US, and RoHS. Skipping BQB risks listing removal and legal exposure.
Does the chipset (Qualcomm vs Airoha) really change the product?
Yes — it affects codec support (aptX, LDAC), ANC quality, and power draw. Confirm the actual populated chipset on a sample, since cheaper substitutions during production are common.
