@tweezak to wit:
“Boston Acoustic Tw1 True Wireless Earbuds
Created & Shipped By: Harco Industries”
And:
“Boston Acoustics was a revered audio brand founded in 1979, known for producing premium home, car, and architectural speakers at highly reasonable prices. While the brand no longer manufactures new products, their legacy lives on through the used market and vintage audio communities.”
@mehvid1bostonacoustics.com doesn’t list any products but talks in vague terms about sound and feeling. The only thing that sounds even semi concrete is their connection to marine and car audio. At the bottom of the page it indicates the parent company is Harman International Industries (Harman Kardon). Also under that ownership are Polk, Bowers and Wilkins, Denon, and a few others.
@troy@tweezak but Nakamichi still makes high-end audio equipment. Boston Acoustics doesn’t. They license the name to make stuff you might be able to find somewhere… like 1-800-FLOWERS.
Stealing a name brand and passing it off as such by making it singular instead of plural? And the above potential customers have to out you? Yeah, look up Harco.
September 23, 2025 – HARMAN International (“HARMAN”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., … has completed the acquisition of Sound United, the former consumer audio business of Masimo Corporation (NASDAQ: MASI). Sound United’s portfolio of iconic audio brands includes Bowers & Wilkins, Denon, Marantz, Definitive Technology, Polk Audio, HEOS, Classé, and Boston Acoustics.
“… because the legacy Boston Acoustics brand filed for bankruptcy and ceased producing most of its traditional audio equipment, these earbuds are typically manufactured through licensing agreements or secondary distributors.”
It’s a pass for me, but thanks for fixing the typo that led to the initial HARD PASS.
So let’s see if I have this right,I’m going to need three pairs to make it through a day at work and I’m gonna have to stay within 30 feet of my device! thats Amazing!
I’ll never buy another Anker or Eufy (home camera) product again. Not after Eufy was busted actually uploading unencrypted photos to their cloud for processing despite claiming they did not, even after they were caught. When they finally admitted it, they didn’t really seem to have a problem with it. A real big problem when your company is a puppet probably controlled by the CCP. And as we know they have no problem making you disappear if you’re a critic or unwanted minority (Uhgyrs or anti Xiping).
“Eufy, a smart home brand by Anker, faced major backlash when security researchers proved the cameras were uploading unencrypted video thumbnails and facial recognition data to the cloud, despite marketing claims that footage stayed local”

Not “Bowston”.
It’s “Bahhst’n”, you Masshole.
I gotta say; I expected to be trolled clicking the link for 1800 flowers…
That’s a sweet flower pun; “buds”. Nice work, Meh.
I have my doubts that these are the real Boston AcousticS.
@tweezak they’re not. Not even the same name, as you noticed. But they are surely trying to hope some people don’t care or pay attention.

@mehvid1 @tweezak
These will sound great when I’m away from my main system and my Poke Audio speakers /s
@accumulator @tweezak or your Folks, eh? lol

@accumulator I messed up my joke attempt. ( “Folk Audio” /s )
@tweezak as for manufacturing… h/k — they gone, daddy, gone. They made plenty of speakers, but didn’t ever branch out into earbuds.
@mehvid1 @tweezak same thing with Nakamichi — used to be a top-end audio cassette system, now reduced to $9 earbuds I saw a while ago.
I still have my Nakamichi 480 bought about 1981.
@pmarin @tweezak not exactly. Unlike BA, Nakamichi (tho similarly acquired) continues to produce high-end audio equipment, like this $4k surround sound system: https://store.nakamichi-usa.com/products/dragon-home-surround-sound-system-with-dual-12-subs.
@mehvid1 @pmarin Anyone interested in actual quality or classic sound equipment should check out https://www.audiogon.com/.
Lots of auctions and new equipment. The “virtual systems” section is wild.
Example:

@pmarin Nice to hear about your Nakamichi. I guess I wasn’t on your level, but I also still have my old Onkyo system (~1990) in storage.
@tweezak they are Boston Acoustics
@troy @tweezak but Nakamichi still makes high-end audio equipment. Boston Acoustics doesn’t. They license the name to make stuff you might be able to find somewhere… like 1-800-FLOWERS.
Price comparison with 1-800-Flowers?!

@craigcush I’m with you. I like Meh, but this one stinks.
@craigcush these are Boston Acoustics. Not a stolen brand – we just forgot the S at the end (fixed now)
@craigcush @troy So these are basically Samsung earbuds. To whit:

“… because the legacy Boston Acoustics brand filed for bankruptcy and ceased producing most of its traditional audio equipment, these earbuds are typically manufactured through licensing agreements or secondary distributors.”
It’s a pass for me, but thanks for fixing the typo that led to the initial HARD PASS.
Wow!!! A whole 3.5 hours per charge! And 10 meters of range!
@gibvel agree on lame specs but standard Bluetooth is 10 meters or about 33 ft just part of the standard spec
So let’s see if I have this right,I’m going to need three pairs to make it through a day at work and I’m gonna have to stay within 30 feet of my device! thats Amazing!
Being offered on 1-800-flowers says it all> LOL
Take this deal down, meh.
Give us your Ankers, your Aukeys, even your Urbanistas, but not some rando company changing one letter of a respected brand.
@mehvid1 these are Boston Acoustics

@boredoutamymind in deference to your username, I’ll say idontblameyaonebit.
When I saw “Boston Acoustic”, I thought it’s a Chinese fake brand. But I see theses ARE real Boston Acoustics branded earbuds.
C’mon, Meh. Do better!
@richrauch fixed
My mother would kick you all the way to Cuber for that accent!
