Anyone know of Bluetooth speakers that aren’t made in China?

Currently looking for a couple, but I’d prefer to not purchase any Chinese made goods.

Sony bluetooth speakers are made in Japan.

With an IP67 rating, your speaker can be immersed in water, and thanks to the high-quality fabric made exclusively in Japan, there'll be no problem rinsing it.


I have the XB-41 for the boat, and it is waterproof and plenty loud at 50 mph.

Can you really beat a Bose Soundlink II for the price.

Listening to mine as we speak.

I don't think you can get rona from a speaker.

Even if it doesn’t say made in China, components were made in China.

By default, the best answer is Klipsch regarding sound. But even they have foreign components on today’s inventory. I know I’m about to be lambasted by people saying company B is better but I’m a homer for Klipsch. As a kid, my dad had two sets of cornwalls and I was spoiled listening to vinyls on those bad mamma-Jamas.

All the parts likely still come from China. They are just assembled in another country.

Are you sure it isn't just the fabric that is made in Japan?

Harmon Karden are made in South Korea. That's what I have, and they are superior to most that have been posted here.

Bang Olfusen are made in Denmark. But are really expensive.

Off topic but I recently bought a pair of IEM's from Campfire Audio in Portland, OR: https://campfireaudio.com/product-category/earphones/

It's probably not a useful recommendation because I don't own any recent Bose products, but I have a pair of small self-amplified Bose speakers that I bought in 1986. They've been plugged into my desktop computers since the mid 90's I believe. Before that I used them with various small and large devices, ranging from a walkman to a regular stereo amplifier. Even hooked my guitar through them at times and cranked it up. Still sound amazing. If I outlive these, I'm giving Bose another shot.

I’m not sure where JBLs are made but I own three and they are solid

I think they are made in Mexico but could be China
