It's a normie meme perpetuated by marketing and word of mouth. Word of mouth spreads easily because Bose stuff typically excels in the sounds that non-audiophile types are "wowed" by: heavy bass and heavy treble.

There are exceptions, like recently Bose launched the SoundTrue line which is actually fairly decent, albeit overpriced unless you get a good deal on black Friday.

You can also find older Bose speakers at thrift shops for a reasonable price. These are usually good "people pleasers", i.e. they're great for parties where you want heavy bass and treble.

So to answer your question
>Yes Bose is a meme brand
>Whether they are "good" is entirely subjective
>They are almost always grossly overpriced, unless you find a really good sale or you find them in a thrift shop

yes, no point in buying them on even making thi thread since you can buy way better headphones from lesser known brands
