Soundbars Not Made In China
Soundbars are super popular. Unfortunately most companies make them in China as a lot of the manufacturing steps are manual. The companies that manufacture soundbars outside of China also manufacture them in China as well. So, you have to be careful about the specific model you buy.
Soundbar
Samsung
Samsung is a huge Korean electronics manufacturer. They make products all over the world. Some of their soundbars are made in China, while others are not. In the 2022 and 2023 model years, the Q series (starting with HW-Q) and the S series (starting with HQ-S) are made in Vietnam. These are the latest soundbars that they offer, as opposed to older ones made in China. So, make sure the model says 2022 or its the current bleeding edge one.
