Are Apple customers too conformist?
I nearly didn't demo the Bose OE2i because of preconceptions. Ended up buying them, love em to bits and I still can't believe something sounding that good and soo comfortable can fit in a pocket.
......
I dislike the downer many audiophiles have about Bose. Head-fi, which has a majority of US members can be quite vociferous about Bose. There is an example of conformism where audiphiles ignore Bose as they supposedly don't sound as good as they claim and their price would suggest.
I agree. I haven't been a fan of their home cinema systems, but their headphones & computer speakers are brilliant.
I personally didn't own even the most basic iPod until 2 years ago, when I got one as a prize for winning at tenpin bowling at a works do.
I now own 2 iPhones (1 for wife), my son has an iPod touch (great for cheap gaming & face timing his mates), we have 2 iPads (one for work that I use for presentations etc.) and the new apple TV.
Why, not because I'm conforming, but they are just so easy to use.
P.s. not even my son has stuck with the original earphones BTW.
[Fr0g]Not to mention that I hate with a passion the music they represent, rap with a silent "c".[/quote]
