Which obscure electronic manufacturers on Amazon are good and reliable?

[gigabyter]

There's a lot of obscure electronic manufacturers on Amazon that you've never heard of before browsing the site like Ugreen, Inateck, Baseus, Anker etc etc. Most of them have very good reviews, but as we know many reviews can easily be faked.

Which ones of these have you found to produce good and reliable products? And which specific manufacturers should you stay away from?

I'm quite partial to Anker's power bricks and batteries, and have had no issues with my Ugreen cables.

Can't think of ones to avoid specifically.

 

Though a good tip I go by is checking if the brand has a website of its own.
That's usually the sign of a business that goes on well enough to bother with it.

And sometimes you can get it cheaper than on Amazon by buying directly from them.

 

Remember - just because they're obscure in your region, doesn't mean they've not been well established in some other part of the world are just starting on your local market.

Everything's made in the same China factories anyway...

Seems like UGreen and Anker are good brands for USB hubs, cables and such

Obscure? I wouldn't call them that but they're definitely good, been using their cables for a while and they're reliable

I had a speaker from anker, it was ok but it was old (2010). After buying some earbuds from their sound division (soundcore) I experienced noise cancelling (not active) and it honestly wasn't too bad as I got them on sale for around £40. It included 5 ear tips (XS, S, M, L, XL) and three wing tips (S, M, L) and I like them a lot and have had them for a year. I wouldn't buy them at their selling price of £70 though when their Space A40's are only £10 more

any sellers on amazon with weird names

None tbh. they're all low quality. 

 

anker or ugreen isnt "obscure" but they're definitely not very high quality either,  just like really mid.
