I quote this.The purpose of a for-profit organization is, to make a profit. Bose uses engineering, psychoacoustic and marketing to drive profit. They sell and sell a lot: for many people not versed or interested in the arcana of audiophilia, they sound good and pleasant enough: Such results come from Marketing and Engineering. They are also a force in the professional realm. Their PA systems are no slouch and used in many great-sounding installations.
A mistake that we of the audiophile persuasion tend to make but Bose uses Engineering and marketing. If Harman had 1/10th of Bose Marketing chops, they would entirely dominate the audio field. They have the Engineering and products for that. However good luck trying to find such in the jungle of brands, the labyrinth of distributions and their piss-poor , abject and often downright inane marketing.
The QC35 III don't sound BAD in the real sense of the term itself, they are pleasant to the ears, it's just something you have to like, just like the harman target and other type of signatures.
This is their business model, don't think bashing them for this makes sense, we're here to share opinions, just that.
