Luxshare Precision

Shenzhen, Guangdong, China · founded 2004

One of the world's largest personal-audio contract manufacturers: it assembles the majority of Apple AirPods and is a core acoustic-component supplier, making it a foundational (if behind-the-scenes) player in the earphone world. Co-founded by Wang Laichun, a former Foxconn worker who became one of China's wealthiest self-made women.

Luxshare Precision Industry (Luxshare-ICT) is a large publicly listed Chinese contract manufacturer and ODM/OEM supplier of electronic components, modules, and assembled devices. In personal audio it is best known as the primary assembler of Apple AirPods (since 2019) and a supplier of acoustic components, TWS wireless earphones, and smart wearables. Beyond consumer electronics it makes connectors, cables, high-speed interconnects, antennas, wireless-charging and automotive wiring-harness systems. It does not sell headphones under its own consumer brand — it manufactures and co-designs products for other brands, which is why it is classified as a supplier rather than a headphone manufacturer.
