Every time I see somebody with Bose I vomit in my mouth a little bit, then spit it on the person wearing them.

...they already cut 20% of their sound.

That is really harsh. Bose don't sound good for their price range, but they are by no means worth hating that much. Plus it doesn't make sense to actually dislike people who don't know better. Come to think of it, it doesn't make sense to dislike people because they don't have nice headphones.

I hope they cut their marketing staff so the company dies.

Skullcandy too.

we're talking about people losing their jobs here whether you like the company or not. have a little compassion.

 

[member1982]

haha u'll be having alot of compassion with the world then... over half a million losses their job in the US? Its like history repeats it self somewhat... Over the 2 previous spell of Republic reign the status of US unemployment rises, and improves dramatically when the Democrats comes on.

Anyway i hope BOSE fires their stupid accountants/headphone designers, i doubt it most likely just jobs relating to assemble workers...

I like how the BOSE looks, if all headphones looks like that and as comfortable as that

I can't believe that they had 10,000 employees to begin with. Bose is much bigger than I thought. But I guess since they are global...anyways, sux that those folks are loosing their job. Sux anyone has to loose their job. I definitely picked a bad time to try to find a new job to replace my current job.

Wow, thats $200k in sales per year per employee.

If they have just a 5% net net at the end of the year on that $2 billion that's still $100,000,000 in the bank. Not bad, but apparently not good either!

I hate to hear about more job cuts.

Live and learn. Then get Bose. :O)

Kidding, kidding, heh. Though, my dad tried to buy my mom some for her birthday, and I told him I'd disown him as a father if he did.
