He's probably pretty uncomfortable in his grave knowing that his name is used to sell overpriced Bluetooth speakers.

You are confusing him with Amar Bose, known for founding the Bose audio company, popularizing satellite speakers and subwoofers, inventing active noise cancellation technology, creating the first quality factory car stereo, and pioneering the dummy head based acoustic research that led the way for modern headphone and spatial audio innovation.[0][1]

The ones without Bluetooth at all. Most of the audio problems in Bluetooth speakers isn't that they're low end garbage, but because Bluetooth mangles audio.

Regardless of the facts of the matter on fidelity of Bluetooth audio, surely this question:

> What other BT speakers are quantitatively better and cheaper?

(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17538351) to which you are replying, which explicitly asks a question only about Bluetooth speakers, in no way has this answer:
