The following 11.11 feature is a rundown of some of the audio gear deals for 2019 we have found or have been sent to us by our clients from around the world.
Please note because 11.11 is a fairly Asian Centric Sales day a few of the deals below are for the Chinese market only. However, we do have plenty of Chinese readers so you are more than welcome.
是次的 2019 双十一（ 11.11 ）专题囊括了我们精选的产品优惠和我们全球广告客户提供的特别节日优惠
敬请注意当中有些优惠是中国国内专享的，也有各种世界性的限量特别优惠活动，推广期有限，欲购从速！
What is this 11.11?
So, what is 11.11? Basically, 11.11 is known as Single’s Day or 光棍节 and was developed to celebrate those who are still ‘single’ in life. The digits 1, 1, 1, 1have come to symbolize the individual who is ‘alone’. It has also become a very popular day to get married in China.
From ours and your perspective, however, it is one heck of a 24-hour period for flash deals and sales of all types, especially audio. Someone smart somewhere figured out that single people might have more disposable income to spend on gadgets etc.
It is now the largest sales day anywhere in the world and bigger than Black Friday/Cyber Monday believe it or not. Sites such as Taobao, AliExpress, Lazada, and Shopee are just teaming with discounts. Plenty of our clients are running promotions also.
So below is a rundown of what you can get, for how much and for how long it lasts. This list is by no means exhaustive, there are tons more out there that we most certainly do not know about so good luck everyone!
MusicTeck USA
Musicteck are one of the leading retailers of Asian audio gear in the US and yup, they do 11.11 sales also and yup, everyone is welcome to join in. The awesome news is that it covers the 9th to the 11th of November and not just Single’s Day but also from Veteran’s Day onwards so you get 3 days to pick and choose and not just one.
And the list is just huge, to be honest with plenty of the top brands like Effect Audio, HiBy, Jomo Audio and qdc to name but a few. You can scour the essentials below but I advise clicking on the store link above if something takes your fancy for more details.
