OEM/Bundled Phones & Sony Decks

[JustAnUnCoolCat]

In case it's of any interest to anyone, I intend to this week, post a request to Sony to the effect of requesting they supply a formal list of :-

1) The part ref for each of the sets of bundled phones that come with the different models of Sony decks.

2) The tech specs of those phones and their specific equivilents in the retail packaged range of aftermarket Sony phones.

It just seemed to me that whilst in some cases, and less now that it used to be, it's easy to estimate or draw an idea of phones equiv between a bundled example and it's nearest or exact retail model. But in lots of cases, especially since minor details (minor, but important) things like the response range etc of the OEM units do not get published and this kinda makes it hard to decide whether other prospective replacements from the retail range will improve upon or better match your listening desires/needs.

Personally, i really aint fussed if the request draws a blank or not - but i'd feel sure that having some kinda of comparision quick-ref of what equals what of OEM vs Retail phone models would benefit someone or even many.

Think of that, if the request pans out, as a pinned item - a newcomer could take a peek.. and if they see that a deck they want comes with (quoting retail models here) E808 or E818 equivs and they already know that neither of those will suit their needs, then they have an advance notice to factor in an extra spend to get phones they know will suit their needs (from recommendation, or simply knowing known good alternatives).

Feel free to comment, will be mailing the request Fri night, so any feedback or suggestions as to how to expand on the idea is useful.. not essential, but if some feedback can help to make the potential list more useful.. then by all means feed the feedback by the bucketload.

PM, or reply to the topic as suits.., and donations of virtual premium kit-e-kat for me avatar's ferocious appetite is always appreciated

Be Cool Always
