The Bose question that’s been on my mind for years is: When are they going to enter the motorcycle helmet market? If there’s an environment that’s worse for one’s ears than aviation, it’s motorcycling. Not to mention the market for bike helmets is huge, compared the tiny fraction of Americans who are licensed pilots. Please, Bose, we need ANR for our helmets!
