It's called "puffery". Look it up.

It's not illegal. Every company does it. Bose is just better at it than most.

And, all manufacturers put forth things they want you to hear and withhold stuff they don;t.

And, like it ir not. so do you.. You have a point to make and you do the exa tsame thing. Even moreso, you claim to be a reviewer.You get paid, or some other consideration, to distort facts to your, or someone's, favor in print. Heck, I've seen you do it here in other subjects. We all have.

So, quitcher*****in and face the fact that that company you hate so much makes a heckuva lot of people very, very happy.

As for reliability, i've heard nothing buy good things about their customer service. Have you heard different over there?
