Of course one should expect quality at that price; one should expect quality from Bose, anyway.
Bose has never had any shortage of market for their products, and their aviation headsets are no different. Rarely will you meet a dissatisfied customer
You don't work for Bose by any chance do you? I have no idea about how good or bad their headsets are because I've never tried one, but their speakers certainly have a bad name for being overpriced underperforming cheaply made crap.
