Electronic goods are expensive and unless for mobiles, most are meant for long use. Most of these goods have huge corporations pushing them and are very highly advertised. These brand endorsements are often made by celebrities and vast amounts of money are spent on spreading awareness about such electronic items.
Unfortunately, such a hype does not always translate into quality stuff or customer specific products. More often than not they are misleading and tend to glamorize a product.
One of the best ways to judge and but an electronic product is to take personal and more than one opinion about it. Additionally, these opinions should be taken from a peer group and not just randomly.
Second opinions will give you insight and confirm a buy, before you invest money on it.
