i think for 503... 192kbps would be enough... but it's also important what is the original bitrate for ur music... always remember u cant re-encode the music from lower bitrate to higher bitrate... that's just how physics is...

what format is the song in?

Always remember a headset is ugly to use outdoor. I saw alot ppl using headphone outside they look like a weirdo.

did they compare it to x3i?

of course not. One is a bluetooth headset another one is not.

I saw someone selling a similar to itech bluetooth CLIP that can use 3.5mm earphones.

Its simple... because they spent a lot of money on it so whether good or not they will say good to make themself feel good about their purchase.

It goes the same with our tube also. Not everyone really likes the phone as much as the enthusiasts here do but they just say its a good phone to give themselves a feel good factor..

The real verdict.. is to test the headphones for urself before buying.

mp3

hmm... i think it depends on you... maybe if you like it u should buy it.. sound quality wise i think bh 503 is good but not great..but performance:price ratio imo it's not worth it. i would get a wired headset at the same price as the bh503..if it were me..

lol..will let u know..

okok... aspire see whether u trust me or not... i give u my honest opinion in general without bias....

1. for stereo bluetooth, i believe 503 is one of the top range product that can provide great quality...

2. comparing stereo wireless headset with wired headset... 99.99% no fight

3. Value for money.... 503 definitely worth RM300 but not more

4. Quality vs Value of needs.... its not necessary to use 503 since it cant give u best audio on your tube, mayb just give u a quality of 95%

if u wan go detail... when u purchase wired headset... it's best that you purchase a gold tip headset as it can eliminate noise from ur music (it's very minor noise that normal person cant hear unless you're highly-trained or using equipment). inside wired headset there's copper line to transfer the music... but when u talk about wireless.. there's no line when wind blow in between ur bluetooth stereo and handphone... there will be noise.... the risk of getting noise in ur 503 is higher comparing to a wired headset

different ppl different. Some prefer the freedom of wireless feeling.
Cable very annoying if u pull the cable too long sometimes it get tangle easily . Too short u must pull it then after awhile the earphone will spoil. When this bluetooth i can keep the phone in the pocket or handbag without attract too much attention.

Sometimes u listening using wire u accidentally stand up the bloody wire will pull your phone and fly to the floor. And u will be excited to pick t upp.

errr... bluetooth can go up to 10 meter radius why would wind cause noise to the frequency.

if it's too confuse... just compare this.... portability vs quality like how u compare laptop vs PC same theory how you should compare wireless and wired...

if your original mp3 is in 128kbps, 160kbps, 192kbps or what ever in between.. you dont need to RE-encode it to a higher kbps because the sound quality would still be the same and it would just take up more space..

i would suggest re-encoding a higher kbps mp3 file to 192kbps to save space and because usually it wont make a difference in quality.. because most people out there re-encode it from a lower kbps to a higher kbps..no use..

have u considered itech blueband r or the new blueband sport?i have personally tested blueband r and the SQ was very good.its also very comfortable to wear.not sure about the pricing now.my fren got hi blueband r for about 300 last year.

blueband r





blueband sport





way out of my budget or sure i get 1

J-Slade: data transfer thru wave thru air that human eyes cant see... u use a wall to block in between ur bluetooth devices u'll know that it's connection quality will be lowered... same theory go for noise

it means that the data wont flow as good as in wired headset..

got any good in-ear earphones below rm100..must be able to last long..had bad experience with earpumps

Wired = Copper line (it can minimized possible noise that intefere)
Wireless = No wire (Only possible way to eliminate noise or lower the noise is thru internal DSP like how 503 built)

Wired = Try to maintain unpolluted sound wave
Wireless = Try to eliminate possible noise from polluted sound wave and reproduction of how the sound would be like using technology..

Wired = Landline phone, ur house phone.
Wireless = Mobile phone
Difference? try to make a call to ur overseas fren with both your mobile and your landline, you'll get it...

Basically it's all about, Speed, Reproduction, Pollution, Noise, Sound that used to form a music for both wired and wireless music output

yup yup.. if they still dont understand it...i donno laa..haha
