Bose's death was announced yesterday by company president Bob Maresca and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where Bose began his acoustics research and was on the faculty for more than 40 years. The cause of his death hasn't been released.
The company was founded by Bose in 1964. It's based in the Boston suburb of Framingham and known for making radios and noise-canceling headphones.
Bose in 2011 gave MIT the majority of company stock in the form of non-voting shares whose dividends are used to support education and research. MIT doesn't participate in management or governance of the company.
