Goertek's MAC footprint spans two IEEE registrants that should be aliased to one family: "GOERTEK INC." (~2 blocks) and the separate "WEIFANG GOERTEK ELECTRONICS CO.,LTD" (~20 blocks), for roughly 22 across the group. Verified samples include 08:16:D5 (MA-L) and 24:A1:0D (MA-M) under GOERTEK INC., plus 1C:96:5A, 2C:4D:79, A8:30:AD, and AC:FD:93 under Weifang Goertek. The registered addresses are in the Weifang High-tech Zone, Shandong, China. These OUIs appear on earbuds/AirPods, VR/AR headsets (Goertek assembles for Meta, Sony, and Pico), speakers, microphones, acoustic modules, and wearables — built for other brands. Goertek is a leading TWS-earbud and VR-headset ODM, so this is an EMS/ODM "OUI ≠ brand" case: a Goertek OUI commonly appears on a Meta/Sony/Pico/Apple-branded device. For triage, a Goertek OUI strongly suggests an assembled audio or VR device, but the brand is usually a major consumer brand that outsourced manufacturing rather than "Goertek."

- Special note
- EMS/ODM "OUI ≠ brand" case; a leading TWS-earbud and VR-headset assembler. A Goertek OUI commonly appears on a Meta/Sony/Pico/Apple-branded device. The IEEE registry publishes no assignment dates, so none is stated here. [Confirmed]
- Related vendors
- Meta, Sony, Pico, Apple (customers); Weifang Goertek Electronics (sibling registrant)
- Analyst note
- A Goertek OUI strongly suggests an assembled audio/VR device; do not assume the brand is "Goertek" — it is usually a major consumer brand that outsourced manufacturing.
