It is estimated that Bose has spent more dollars on advertising last year than ALL other high end companies COMBINED. Does it have an effect? Sadly, yes. A few years back, the United States Air Force signed Bose onto a multi-million-dollar contract to design noise cancellation headsets for Air Force flight crews. Bose won the contract over two other companies simply because of their "more established name". The concept of a noise cancellation headset is to actively monitor the noise frequencies emitted from a jet engine and the turbulent wind, and reproduce the exact signal 180 degrees out of phase, thus theoretically cancelling it out completely. Bose produced a model that cost approximately $1000 per unit, which failed to cancel out a significant amount of noise. The company used the contract as an opportunity to unload obsolete parts from years back. Bose pawned off thousands of outdated interface connectors for which there were no longer commercially available mating jacks, and incorporated them into the headsets. The Air Force, proud as it was, didn't scrap the project, but instead spent countless millions more replacing the consoles in a number of aircraft to make them compatible with the said headsets. In the end though, the Air Force did terminate the contract when test crews found out that the headsets were ineffective. There is now a warehouse in an Arizona military base full of unused thousand dollar headsets. This whole mess was created over a brand name's alledged reputation and prestige.

I haven't had to talk to him since I gave him that Article, but I hope his rave towards Bose gets Humbled.
Otherwise, he's gonna get to listen to 9 months of constant rations of sh*t from me, he will be converted.
Even if I have to drag him to my place to listen to a real pair of speakers and subs.

He brags about his plastic cubes and sub getting real loud
and sounding great.
Now that's funny!
