Shove these little buds in your ears and turn out the world around you. Both passive and active noise cancelling will keep the world at bay and the music you're listening to front and center. With four microphones built in, you can talk to your Mom, talk to Alexa, or even just talk to yourself. Connect to the app via Bluetooth and adjust all the sound and noise cancelling settings you want. Pop them in their little case to charge up for 6 hours of use. Just be careful not to lose the little guys, they aren't cheap!
Wat kan er gebeuren als er iets misgaat?
A few years back Bose came under fire when it was alleged they were secretly collecting personal information about users through the Bose app. Bose fought the class action lawsuit based on these allegations. And early in 2021, Bose made a good change when they stopped requiring users to create an account to use the Bose Music app that controls their headphones and speakers. Yay for progress!
Bose does say it may use or share de-identified personal data for any purpose they choose, without limitation. This use of anonymized data is generally OK, although many privacy researchers will point out it is relatively easy to de-anonymize such data. Also, if you choose to use Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant with this smart speaker, know that Google and Amazon will collect data on the voice requests you make. What’s the worst that could happen with these fancy headphones? Well, hopefully not too much, we hope.
Tips om uzelf te beschermen
- If you use Alexa or Google Assistant, set up the respective privacy settings.
- Consider using your headphones without connecting it to an app. This way, you may decrease amount of data collected
