Guys, I am in a very confused position today. I got a Budget of Rs 4k with me which I want to spend on a Audio Equipment for my Nokia N79 but I am unable to decide what should I buy. I am not an audiophile & for me the sound quality of my Philips HiFi SHP8900 headphones & that of some Bose headphone is almost same. Help me decide...
1) I wanted to buy X-mini Max but I don't have much use of Speakers in Lucknow. I use headphones as my family yells at me if I play music at high volume. The X-Mini is portable so I can use it with my Nokia N79 but I won't need it in Lucknow cos i m never in such a situation to use speakers with N79.
2) I can buy normal PC speakers from Creative or Altec Lansing, but again...got no use of them. At least I can use X-mini when I m out of Lucknow, but then in that case I will need it after May only. Conventional speakers will be very big too. My current PC will stay in Lucknow now even after I leave so i can buy conventional speakers for my family to use but again, will need it after 3 months only at least.
3) I can buy Sony Ericsson HBH-DS220 Bluetooth stereo headphone but it costs Rs 3.2k. I listen to music when I m driving bike, traveling in train or Bus, or waiting for some one somewhere. However, bluetooth eats lots of Phone battery & I won't be able to control the music from the bluetooth handsfree. This I can overlook but since I m already using the bundled wired Nokia handsfree with SE HPM-75, I am unable to justify paying Rs 3.2k for it as I am not even an Audiophile.
4) I can buy Creative EP-630 or Sony earphones but then I will loose the handsfree functionality. I want something to do all. I don't want to use an earphone for listening to music & a bluetooth hands free for talking. I like one thing do everything. In this regard I would prefer to buy the bluetooth handsfree, but then again....unable to justify the high cost.
Help me decide. How much is the phone's battery life affected when using a stereo bluetooth earphone? This is the only thing I can see worth buying if I am able to make my mind.
If all else fails, then I m buying 1 or 2 Pair or Reebok or Nike shoes
