Interesting comments. I was wondering about this also but you pretty much cleared that up.

That radio might have $15-$20 of parts inside. Maybe another $20 for assembly and the box. The rest is all profit. Third, Bose heavily markets itself as the best. Clearly, it is not. You can buy natural-sounding equipment made with better materials for less money. Fourth, Bose has the ability to make quality products and chooses not to. Bose has plenty of capital, engineers, test facilities, manufacturing, everything. If management wanted, Bose could make excellent, high-quality gear. Instead, they make garbage and sell it at the highest possible margin. |
