Bose headphones app sends all your info back to Bose

Bose are one of the biggest high-end audio companies in the world, a brand that has trust associated with it - but, were we foolish to think so? According to a new lawsuit filed by Kyle Zak in Chicago, Bose's current $350 wireless headphones are spying on you.

The headphones in question require an app to "get the most" out of them, but the app monitors everything you listen to - including the names of the podcasts, the music, videos, and more. It then sends all of that information back to Bose, according to Zak's claim and lawsuit. According to Christopher Dore, Zak's lawyer: "People should be uncomfortable with it. People put headphones on their head because they think it's private, but they can be giving out information they don't want to share".

According to Reuters: "Zak is seeking millions of dollars of damages for buyers of headphones and speakers, including QuietComfort 35, QuietControl 30, SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless Headphones II, SoundLink Color II, SoundSport Wireless and SoundSport Pulse Wireless". Not just that, but Zak also "wants a halt to the data collection, which he said violates the federal Wiretap Act and Illinois laws against eavesdropping and consumer fraud", Reuters reports.
