BOWERS & WILKINS 무선 오디오 제품군 FORMATION SUITE 발표

이젠 하나 둘씩 나오는게 아니라 아예 모델군을 만들어 브랜드화 시키려 하는군요. B&W의 제품 성능은 안들어봐도 어느 정도 신뢰가 갑니다만, 과연 이게 잘하는 일인지는 시장이 결정하는것이라서 추이를 봐야합니다.

사운드바를 비롯해 하이파이 스피커, 포터블까지의 라인업이 만들어지는 것은 좋은데 항상 가격이 걸림돌로 작용합니다. 단지 싸고 비싸고만이 아니라 '적정한 가격인가?'에 대해 소비자는 지속적으로 고민하고, 또 그 결과가 시장에 그대로 나타나니까요.
