Rather than focus on a few minor disappointments I’d rather just say that most everything I have ever bought has been worth it for the most part. I may have scratched my head once or twice over certain pricier ICs but not so bad so no big deal. I do tend to research my purchases carefully and thoroughly though so that surely helps.
Also I own no Bose though some of their Bluetooth speakers seem fairly competitive at their price points. Otherwise not so much and most common Bose products these days is not worth the money versus the competition IMHO.
