The problem here being.. that Bose loses money?
Or maybe, just maybe, they figure out a way to make headphones that are both safe and marketable?
The idea of free market includes the notion of failing in the free market. Which is exactly what Bose did here.
- fastball 5y agoLiterally nothing is perfectly safe. 1/1,000,000 chance of getting chemical burns is fine by me.

That's fine by me too, and Bose should market the headphones with the description "1/10^6 chance of getting chemical burns". Then the people who don't find it fine by them can make a rational choice about buying or not buying that product. See, the public has this unreasonable expectation about wireless headphones being as safe as wired ones. Silly public. Can't fathom why they would think that way, with all the warnings of potential chemical burns in the product manuals. Oh wait.
