The complaint details how Bose collects registration data from its customers, including device serial numbers, then uses the Bose Connect application to monitor in real-time what people listen to. Bose allegedly also gathers data on what you don’t listen to, or which tracks you repeat. This data is shipped off to companies like Segment.io, a known data miner. According to the lawsuit, multiple Bose products are affected, including the QuietComfort 35 headphones, the SoundSport Wireless, SoundSport Pulse Wireless, QuietControl 30, SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless Headphones II, and SoundLink Color II.
