Guangdong
Secondary hubHuizhou is part of the Pearl River Delta manufacturing cluster, located between Shenzhen and Dongguan. The city has become an important center for consumer electronics manufacturing as costs in Shenzhen and Dongguan have risen, with TCL, Desay, and other major Chinese electronics companies maintaining significant operations. Many Shenzhen-area electronics factories have moved manufacturing to Huizhou while keeping engineering offices in Shenzhen.

Watch-outs
Less famous internationally so factories may have less English-language documentation and customer service. Most quality factories are pure manufacturers — design capability often comes from Shenzhen partners. Best to engage Huizhou factories for production after design is complete in Shenzhen.
Bluetooth Speakers
Bluetooth speaker manufacturing is one of the most mature consumer electronics categories in Shenzhen and Dongguan — and one of the most variable in quality. The same factory can produce a $5 speaker that distorts above 60% volume and a $40 unit that genuinely competes with Anker Soundcore. The hidden differentiator is driver quality, DSP tuning, and amplifier choice — none of which show up in spec sheets. We do listening tests on samples, frequency response measurement, and battery cycle testing.
Sourcing guide →Power Banks
Power bank manufacturing is dominated by Shenzhen and Dongguan, with thousands of factories producing everything from $3 commodity units to $80+ premium fast-charging power stations. This is a category where quality assurance literally matters for safety — battery cells, BMS (battery management systems), and charging circuits failing can cause fires. Air shipping requires UN38.3 certification. We test capacity (real vs claimed), cycle life, and run thermal stress tests on every program.
