Anyone aware if these speakers are available in NZ ?

I have seen some on ali express and some other sites, but unsure if they are of a suitable quality ?

Has anyone out there any experience with replacement ?

Many thanks, Adrian.

What’s wrong with your jbl?

Honestly the only wireless speakers I’d buy are either Sony or UE mega boom.

Done a lot of research for a gift and settled on a Sony.

Blown the speakers, or should I say an Advertisement promotion to a free equaliser app, did the job quite nicely.....
Looking to replace blown speakers and wanting to buy good ones.

Wouldn't have thought it was economically viable to repair?

Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

Everything today seems to be throw away, if I can get speakers at around the $50 Mark the replacement will take me 10 mins max.
$50 versus $125 and nothing in landfill, a no brainer.

I'd expect parts available through JBL support in NZ:

https://www.jbl.co.nz/support-product.html

and I expect it's uneconomic buying from there...

Tried that, no joy.
Will ring them tommorrow to confirm if they supply replacements, but I doubt, as you say, that it will be economic from them.
Thanks though.

I've looked at one youtube JBL speaker replacement clip and the comments section seems to indicate that spares have dried up. No indication that there's any alternative to the oem.

You're right - don't chuck away.

Have you dismantled the unit? The speakers may have part code#'s.

But in terms of replacing, the UE boom series honestly is best value for money for the larger speakers, Sony for the small "beer can" style.

I have a UE megaboom with buggered motherboard, I wonder if my speakers would work haha.
