How to distinguish an original from a fake?
Boss' high-quality audio equipment is often copied. Let's consider in detail how you can distinguish the original speakers from a fake.
- The first differences can be calculated by paying attention to the design of the technique. Confusing a Boss script with a replica is difficult if you prepare in advance. The appearance of many models turns out to be quite noticeable. For example, if you bring the original SoundLink Mini to a copy, you will notice that the second is much wider. Chinese versions are usually made more angular and coarse. They often have a noticeably protruding protective grille.
- The color of the body of both the copy and the original can be absolutely identical. But for the same SoundLink Mini, the original grille will be black with a gray edging, while for a fake this part is often made gray and without edging.
- Counterfeits differ from the originals and in the material of manufacture. Those models, which are made by the American brand from high-quality aluminum, by the Chinese "craftsmen" are made of cheap plastic.
- Often, the control buttons of the replicas have open backlashes that are hard to miss. By slightly prying these parts with your fingernail, you can easily get them out of the device structure. Sometimes the entire front panel of a compact speaker can be removed in the same way, since the Chinese often attach it only to double-sided tape. You cannot perform such manipulations with the original device. The decorative panel of the originals is a separate piece designed to add beauty. In this case, the control buttons are highlighted in a separate block and may have a different color.
- You will not see any branded logos in the copied models. Genuine devices always bear the proud Bose signature on the front grille. You should find the same markings on packaging and even branded accessories.
- Often copied models lack connectors, or there are more of them than in the original device.That is why, before buying, it is important to familiarize yourself with all the characteristics of this model in order to know exactly what should be in it and what should not be there.
- The original speakers will seamlessly communicate with a smartphone at a distance of 15 meters in an open area. Chinese copies will endlessly issue "disconnects", even if the distance is only 1 meter. If you leave 3-4 meters, then the connection will disappear altogether.
- They are distinguished by fakes and weak sound. By this parameter, everyone can distinguish them from the original. Genuine Bose speakers deliver great sound that no copy can match.
Buy such things in special stores, where you will be provided with all the accompanying documentation confirming the original origin of the acoustics. Order devices from Bose branded online stores. Never look for original products on the market or at dubious points of sale.
