Bose has been an official NFL sponsor since 2011 and currently counts Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson among their many brand ambassadors. The trio recently stared in the brand’s “Rule the Quiet” commercial directed by Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin of Academy Award-winning “Free Solo” fame.
In addition to their athletes sponsorships, Bose creates headsets for the coaching staffs of all 32 NFL clubs to use for both sideline and booth communications.
