"full-blast/full-on/intense video music downloads" don't really make much
sense in the context of mobile phones either IMO.
It's just marketing bull*** IMO to make something distinctly underwhelming
sound much more glamourous than it actually is (again IMO).
(I mean how *full-on* can a music download on a *mobile phone* sound? Not
very, right?! Play it on a half-decent stereo (such as a Denon) and with
half-decent headphones (such as Sennheiser), then it's another matter).
