Why doesn't Bose have MP3/cellphone hookup in their headsets?

Cjcampbell,

Great, except that the stupid iPhone will not
broadcast stereo in Bluetooth. So all my iPod tunes would be mono.
Besides, $850?!?


If you plunked down the amount of money required for the feature set of
an iPhone, 850 for the Zulu should be a non-issue to you.

Unfortunately, the cable for the LightSpeed will not fit in my iPhone,
so I will have to find some sort of adapter.

So you got an iPhone CJ. I have to ask. Did your first bill come in a box?

Hahaha. No. It came in several envelopes. Thankfully AT&T has
announced that they are condensing the bills in the future.

I bought a pair of the Bose X and just assumed that would be there...
what a disappointment.


Rest assured many have been through it before you. Adding other
patterns of behaviour of that company, a hint of arrogance might be
detected.

Maybe they expect you to use them to fly with and not play games.

Ron,

Maybe they're too arrogant to give choice to the consumer.

They do give customers a choice - their product or someone else's

Also, Bose aims their products at the "pros" who are usually engaged in CRM
during flight, not entertainment.

Also, Bose being more expensive, it's more typically used by people what
have MP3 and cell phone capable audio panels. If they added capability to
attach toys, first they would have redundancy that was wasted on their
target market. Secondly, there would be that many more people whining that
Bose was even MORE expensive.

With more possible failure points.

There are an awful lot of Bose ads in the "hobby flyer" magazines that seem to
counter your statement. Also, I have not yet seen a Bose in any airline
cockpit. Doesn't mean much, but it's a data point.

You seem to be opposed to the idea of listening to music in-flight. That's ok,
but it's no reason to belittle pilots that like to listen to music.
