What you see - Enter the Bose showroom and you will enter a different realm of sound; something you, in all likelihood, would not have experienced in terms of acoustics at any other electronics store. And in spite of all those sensory delights for your ears, if you still manage to see the look and the color of the products here you will realize that it’s all black – whether it is the speakers, sound systems or the home theatre systems. What you also see here are amplifiers and DVD players from other brands. No, they don’t deal in other brand products. Those are there just to prove how Bose products work well even on amplifiers from other brands and not just their own. It hardly comes as a surprise therefore, to know that this brand from Amar G Bose, who was a professor of electrical engineering with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is popular world over.
What you get – Let’s begin with the home entertainment systems here. Now what’s good about this place is that it helps you experience the product in the best possible way. Thus they ensure that you immensely enjoy the superb quality products before taking a call on purchasing it. These home entertainment systems begin at Rs. 56,138. They have two small speakers and a hideaway Acoustimass (amplifier). These systems even go upwards of Rs. 2.5 lakh! And what comes at that price? Intelligent playback system that not only keeps a track of your choices and then plays them but also stores up to 340 hours of music.
Moving on, they have a home theatre speaker system with two speaker arrays that can be connected to any TV system of your choice. This ranges between Rs. 37,013 and Rs. 78,638 in terms of price.
The headphones here are to-die-for. These begin at Rs. 5,625 for In-Ear ones which are primarily like ear-bud headphones. They also have On-Ear and Around-Ear ones. There are some for those who wish to be completely immersed in their music as well. These Acoustic Noise-Cancelling headphones ensure that no outside noise reaches your ears. Headphones of these types are priced at Rs. 16,763.
Bose has a complete range of systems for outdoor use also under the Environment range. These typically start at Rs. 17,888. Then for iPod owners, there is more reason to rejoice as they have an iPod docking station priced at Rs. 17, 888. Basically with it you can just dock your iPod and play it. The travel case with it costs an additional Rs. 2,475. The list is not yet complete. They have their own expansion speakers, which you can install in different rooms of your house, to get the “Bose” feeling all over.
Our verdict - A Bosesound system is a must-have. The quality and experience is unmatched. The sales representatives here know the products exceptionally well and they can actually help you thoroughly understand the acoustics and sound effects. The only issue here is that they offer no finance options. Parking space at this showroom is limited.
