Earphones

[Heatherette]

^Nagdadalawang isip na tuloy ako sa Beats Tour na yan. Yan pa naman balak kong bilhin. Ang mahal tapos di pala matibay.

[mafiapenguins]

i guess if you get the ones from powermac, walang problema kasi they can always have it replaced pag nagkaproblema. yung akin kasi, feeling ko OEM sya, meaning, hindi authorised ng beats yung sale aka, hindi sya yung retail version. it's pretty much the same though

[blackgreen]

Napapansin ko rin sa beats ko parang mapuputol na yun malapit sa may labasan ng sound. 1 year pa lang sa akin ito. Sayang naman kung masira. Hindi ko na alam kung nasaan yun receipt.

[mafiapenguins]

maybe you can ask powermac about it... most likely they would know if what you have are OEMs or retail product.

[Heatherette]

Ay pass na talaga ako sa Beats lol Mag-Shure or Boss nalang ako.

[mafiapenguins]

if you get the retail ones from powermac, okay sya... plus may warranty. just dont get the OEMs, kasi pag may nangyari, wala na.

what i'm aiming at now are philips na sports earphones, yung sweat-proof something... any feedback on that?

[Heatherette]

Ang baba ng EQ ko, bumili na ko kanina ng earphones. Bose IE2

Mas pinili ko na to than sa Beats.

[mama squeak!]

^Good choice. Hubby and I use Bose too. A bit pricey but you get the full sound and matibay pa. Got ours two years ago pa.

[Heatherette]

^Feeling ko rin good choice haha

Kasi nagbasa basa ako ng reviews ng Beats Tour, hindi lahat ok ang reviews. I mean meron naman nagsasabi ng maganda pero compare sa hindi maganda, mas marami yung hindi nagandahan at overpriced nga daw which made me think twice.

When I tried Bose kanina sa Bose store, woah! ang ganda bigla ng paligid with music sa ears haha I tried listening while walking sa mall, ang ganda lang talaga niya. Hindi ako nagsisisi kahit pricey for an earphone.

Pag nakita nga lang to ng mga brothers ko, maiinggit yung mga yun haha!!!

[xthine]

^ Did you try Bose Quiet Comfort or their OE head phones?

[Heatherette]

^Hindi ko pa na-try sis Mas gusto ko kasi earphones than headphones para madali dalhin anywhere pero I saw them in store kanina.

[mafiapenguins]

anong model ng earphones mo sis? and if you dont mind sharing, how much ang est price? am thinking of getting one for h2b for his bday

[Heatherette]

^Bose IE2 sis I got it for P6500.

[goddessella]

hala.. gusto ko pa din naman sana ng beats studio.. pero kung may ganyang feedback na sirain.. ive been reading reviews din and medyo nawawalan na ako ng gana.. :/

[mafiapenguins]

^Bose IE2 sis I got it for P6500.

hmmm... pricey nga sya... baka mahalata ni h2b pag ganun kalaki nawala sa budget namin... one more thing, hindi na aabot kung iipunin ko yung baon ko maybe sa december na lang  thanks sis, at least i have an idea na.

any feedback on philips sweat-proof sports earphones?

[Heatherette]

i asked the salesman in digital hub regarding their most high end sennheiser brand. I was shocked to find out na meron silang worth PHp 11000. I was curious to buy it kasi the other models they have are just 1- 4 thousand worth. I was asking the salesman what is so special about it. I wasnt so convince. Well its just the usual sales talk kasi. hehe being the not so techie myself, i have a lot of questions and i want to make sure that he knows what he was saying.

Just a few months ago, i was looking for an earphone with microphone. HE sold me the 4000 worth apple earphone, yung inear. Okay lang naman, but later on i was very disappointed because i found out that he didnt offer me the over the ear earphone with microphone din pla. worth 1500 plus lang. Di ko naman masisis siya but somehow i couldnt help but still feel cheated.

most of the earphones for sale are sealed and can not be tested. ANg hirap naman if you are buying these expensive accessories and you dont get to compare the models. Are there stores that offer some model testing?

[avesoriano]

Oh i almost forgot he was honest enough to admit that the sennheiser brand do carry a thinner cable, hence probably more prone to its easy breakage. SAbi niya lang meron daw itong warranty, so in case of any problem within the year they can replace it.

He swears by the beats by dre. Sabi niya he own one daw apple and sennheiser are nothing compared to that brand. i wish i could know more about earphones. I want to invest din sana. Loving my iphone more and more

^Sa Powermac ba yan sis? Yung employee? hehe

I talked to a Powermac employee kasi, sobrang binebenta niya yung Beats. Eh sabi ko sirain nga yung Tour eh. Eh InBeats yung binebenta nila, walang Tour. Sabi niya iba naman daw kasi yun. Sabi ko talaga kuya, P10900 yung Tour compared sa InBeats na P7500 lang, bakit sasabihin mo na mas sirain yung mas mahal lol Nakwento niya rin sa akin na may quota sila tapos pag na-meet nila yung quota na yun, may free earphones or headphones sila ng Beats

Sennheiser is a good brand. Matagal na sila compared sa Beats (I don't know about Monster though). Pag dating sa mga earphones kilala yan. Way back in the 90s haha Yan yung palaging kinukwento sa akin ng brother ko na magandang brand kaya tumatak sa isip ko kaso manipis nga yung cord kaya ayun, sira din yung kanya haha Ang mahal pa naman ng bili niya sa earphones niya.

May isang Sennheiser (around P3k-P4k) ang pwede i-try kasi iba yung box niya; hindi clamshell na kelangan gupitin. Sa Bose naman, pumunta talaga ako ng Bose para i-try yung earphones nila tapos sa Powermac ako bumili LOL

Ang ginawa ko kaya ako nag-decide sa Bose (wala nga ko nabasang review about Bose IE2 haha, impulse buy kasi pero di ako nagsisisi), nagbasa basa ako ng review about Beats Tour and InBeats and most of them talaga na may-ari ng HE earphones panay sabi na overpriced siya pero ang quality naman sobrang baba compared sa mas mura ng konti like Klipsch, Bose, Sennheiser at marami pa na mas maganda ang quality. Nalagyan lang daw kasi ng brand yung Beats kaya ganun ang price (Dr. Dre and other celebs ba naman mag-endorse) pero as for the quality, marami silang nire-recommend na iba pa. Sa mga US forums ko yan nababasa.

[Heatherette]

Digital Hub pala lol Nalimutan ko.

Try asking kung pwede i-try, kung hindi talaga ma-try, research nalang sa net for reviews. Read as much as you can kasi mahal din ang earphones.

Yung Beats may mga tester sa SM Appliance (Mega) and Automatic Center (Trinoma). Linisan nalang maigi at baka ilang tenga na nagsukat nun.
