Bose. Remember them? They wish you did. Now they're suing the only headphone company non-audiophiles know, Beats. It's delicious.
More delic are the comments from MacRumors readers about the tussle:

DavidLeblond: Bose felt threatened. For the longest time they were the #1 name in expensive sub par audio equipment until Dre came around and took the crown.
Moopy Sac: “Fascinating that they wait until Beats is acquired by someone with deeper pockets. Good luck getting any money, though. If Bose ever gets a payout, it’ll be ten years down the road. And the general impression I get from people who work in the speaker business is that Bose isn’t really that good.”
Headphone quality does not seem to have much of a positive correlation with company value.
But Bose is still head and shoulders better than Beats.”
Head and shoulders, eh? Oh Moopy Sac, dear Moopy Sac. It's like the blonde leading the blind.
There's more gold to be had in that MacRumors thread.
