Honestly I think it might be worth looking into the idea of metadata collection as eavesdropping. Unless there's an implicit technical requirement for data, the company should need to explicitly request it.
For phone lines it's obvious why the service provider is party to the communications:
caller --> switching equipment --> callee
The bose situation is more:
user --> bluetooth --> headphones
|
+--> bose
Though this sort of ruling might just drive everything to an even more disgusting state of centralized services so that companies can claim an implicit technical need for data.
