Description
Beginning in the late 90’s, music underwent a steady shift towards the PC with the advent of the MP3 codec. And now, consumers are storing vast collections of music on their home PC and are investing in liberating devices for on the go consumption. Many would argue the price of this exodus is audio fidelity, while still others wonder at the impact to the traditional home audio marketplace. Several questions exist. Just how many consumers actually use their PC as a primary source for audio equipment anyway? And how do these users define quality?

Is portability the most important factor or does quality still matter? If quality matters, will they seek out audio enhancements or a better experience as might be brought by listening to PC audio content over a component audio system? How will this play out in future purchases? Fortunately, CEA market research has answers. Don’t miss this unique report which explores the new opportunities emerging for your business as the PC shifts towards the center of home entertainment.
