Yes, quite lame of them to target the upper crust rather than the spam can
drivers. Yet, they laugh all the way to the bank.

Right. Bose sells more headsets on the consumer market in a week than
they sell Xs to pilots in a year.

THAT is the real reason they cost a grand, and they haven't updated
the design to include modern features. They've run the numbers and
realized that it just isn't worth it.

(BTW: I feel the same when I pay almost $500 for a Lightspeed ANR
headset that I *know* is worth $100. But, hey, at least I've got a
cell phone jack...)
