Bose
German audio engineers make jokes about Bose equipment's sound
quality.
Not only German ones.
For some years I've been on the listening panel hired by the UK
Consumers Association to judge Hifi speakers. These were 'blind'
listening tests, we didn't know which speakers were one test.
Except for the Bose ones - every time, for years on end, these
resulted in the entire panel dropping its professional conduct
and ending up ROTFL. Of course the CA got some angry reactions
by Bose, but since the tests were blind they had little to argue
with.
A German audio engineer joke is about Bose and another company with a
bad reputation. I've forgotten the name of the other company.
Telling the joke starts with covering the mouth with a hand while
saying: "Hello Mr. Other Vendor!"
Then you hold your nose and reply: "Hello Mr. Bose!"
