They just don't enjoy the brand-awareness that Bose does with regular consumers.

https://www2.mobileread.com/i/smiliesadd1/offtopic.gif As someone who has worked in the A/V industry for the better part of a decade I am curious as to what other product lines you have compared Bose audio to? Based on the fact that across the board the joke is, "If it has bass it's not Bose". Yes some other audio brands charge more but you get a superior product, based on technology and end user reviews of those products. I have seen and built audio systems in homes and I promise you I have pulled more Bose products out of those homes to be replaced by another brand than any other. There is a reason Bose locks their products in a demo mode when on display in stores and threatens any salespeople that unlock them to use another audio source for demo.
Sorry for the rant, just a burn point with me.
As for fanboyism as a whole, it amounts to digital **** measuring. Every consumer has a right to prefer a brand or product of their choosing. My preference is for whatever works for me at the time. I carry an iPhone 4 and a Htc Sensation. Both have pros and cons and I can debate both for days if that thread were to appear.
