We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

Szkoda ze JBL wprowadzil serie Tune 290 po bardzo udanej T290 poniewaz wielu sprzedawcom myla sie obie a roznica pomiedzy nimi jest bardzo znaczaca. T290 ma wspaniały soczysty bass i soprany, sluchajac dzieku przez te małe suchawki nie chce sie wiezyc ze "pchełki" tyle moga. T290 sa fantastyczne i mam je juz od 4 lat.
