The two companies locked horns recently over an NFL sponsorship deal that forbade players from wearing non-Bose headphones during press conferences and any on-camera events. Beats' co-founder didn't seem to mind the coverage, however, stating that the ban generated a lot of free publicity (http://www.imore.com/nfl-ban-giving-apples-beats-free-publicity).</p> <p>Regarding the removal of Bose's products, an official statement wasn't provided by either organization, although with the on-going series of conflicts, you're better off looking <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-Acoustic-Cancelling-Headphones/dp/B0054JJ0QW?tag=imoreb-20&amp;m1k=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">elsewhere[/url] for the QuietComfort 15.</p> <p>Source: Apple Store (http://store.apple.com/us/search/bose)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-27777"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3f944d44/sc/28/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
