good review greenhorn :slight_smile:

Mind numbing effort put in there.:open_mouth:

Rock on.:blush:

brilliant review! …great stuff :smiley:

Never knew the EP630s put so much load on the player :flushed_face:
very informative .. thanks a lot!

excellent review!!

What is the effect of the EP 630s loading the player so much ?? Battery life reduces ?

Where can we buty in Delhi??

Philips HP 805
I could not fine this product on Philips India Website ??? why?
are they imported ?

^ 805 has been discontinued and replaced by a newer model HP 2700. its already mentioned in the review/one of the posts.

Yes. the Ep 630 draws 4 times as much power than the sony headphones and twice as much as the philips. It will reduce battery life, but by how much depends on the player. if the player used the battery only for sound, life would become around 4x :stuck_out_tongue: but as other stuff like powering the display/ processing circuitry/ media etc are involved , the hit will be lesser :slight_smile:

PS , and heres a peek at the sucessors of the 250 and the 805

EDIT: whoops :flushed_face: the sucessor of the 805 is the 8500, not 8600 as mentioned previously.

Really !!

I am no fan of BOSE but was planning to buy Music system from Bose

I know its very costly but never new that its Crap, Plz can you tell me something more !

search for bose here on techenclave itself. You’ll find that most of us wouldnt touch them with a 10 foot pole when wearing a hazmat suit :stuck_out_tongue:

Create a new thread with your requirements and budget , and i think we can offer you better choices :slight_smile:

this thread[/URL] would give you an idea of a cross section of how folks here feel about bose :stuck_out_tongue:

Really Hilarious Discription !! :smiley: HAZAMAT SUIT AND 10 FOOT POLE:rofl:

Thanks for the advice will post the thread when I am ready with my Budget :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway When I was in UK One of my collegue gifted me Bose basic systen with only CD option ( no mp3) it was around 450 pounds at that time !
Its interesing that though it sound okay ( no distortion at highest volume ) but I was always Thinkng what was so special about it and I thought may due my lees knowledge about Music stuff I am missing something !!! But SKy is becoming clear I guess!!
Thanks for that !

Glad you realized that :slight_smile: Most people dont , and deny that they havent.

IMHO, bose music systems are like the new clothes a certain emperor once got made for himself :wink:

its a pity only a few know the truth, and fewer still are willing to accept it :frowning:

Awesome review dude!!! This one will surely get a Toscar!
