Dr. Amar Gopal Bose was born in 1929 in Philadelphia to a Bengali father (Noni Gopal Bose) and a U.S.-born mother of English and German ancestry (Charlotte). Amar Bose graduated with a PhD in electrical engineering in 1956 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and celebrated by buying himself a new hi-fi stereo system. But the sound quality disappointed him and he was encouraged to research acoustics at MIT in his spare time. Dr. Bose launched Bose Corporation in 1964. By day, he and his two employees develop power-regulating systems for the military and other government agencies. By night, they explored acoustics and speaker design.

Through a relationship with an audio retailer in Bad Homburg, Germany, Bose began selling products outside the U.S. for the first time in 1972. In 1986, two of Bose’s active noise-reducing headsets preserve the hearing of pilots Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager on their record-breaking, non-stop, around-the-world voyager flight. Dr. Bose and Dr. William R. Short won the Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation’s Inventor of the Year Award in 1987 for a loudspeaker system employing a folded acoustic waveguide.

Bose and their patented acoustic waveguide speaker technology redefined the concept of a radio in 1993 by delivering rich, deep sound not previously heard from such a small unit. The immensely popular QuietComfort headphones forever changed air travel in 2000 by drastically reducing noise and providing better in-flight entertainment sound quality than ever before. For achievements in audio technology that “have significantly influenced the quality of how we live,” Dr. Bose was inducted into the 2000 National Inventors Hall of Fame in Akron, Ohio. Dr. Bose donated a majority of Bose Corporation’s non-voting shares to MIT in 2011. The dividends on those shares are used to sustain and advance MIT’s education and research mission.

Bose brought noise cancelling technology to the NFL in 2014, improving coaches’ on-field communication and enhancing the in-game experience for fans in the stadium and at home. In 2020, all the quiet of Bose’s best-in-class QuietComfort noise cancelling headphones were introduced in a sleek, truly wireless earbud. The QuietComfort Earbuds deliver big audio quality in a compact, comfortable design, and offer 11 levels of noise control so you can choose how much of the world to let in. Bose was the first to introduce FDA-cleared, self-fitting hearing augmentation technology in 2022 for consumers with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. Bose’s partnership with hearX for a new line of Lexie Hearing Aids Powered by Bose will make affordable hearing aids accessible for millions of adults.

Innovation is an ever-present philosophy for Bose. It’s who they are — constantly learning and constantly curious. They never stop imagining what better sound sounds like. They’re music fanatics and audio engineers. They’re explorers and inventors and dreamers. And they’re passionate down to their bones about making whatever you’re listening to a little more magical.
