I assume neither give you opt out abilities for sharing this data? If not, that's a GDPR breach for PII privacy and data sharing outside the EEA.
Definitely also an android issue. iOS, for all its faults, is a lot more restrictive around its data sharing and app call homes.
Wouldn't be surprised if someone like Ogury have root access buried in the Ts&Cs of the bose / jabra apps or other apps you have and they're the party collecting the data.
Bose definitely aren't selling the data openly, they're not on dv360 as a data partner for example. Assume it's via a 3rd party data broker like Ogury if at all.

I run a per-app DNS firewall on my phone... I can tell you that my Jabra earphones attempt to send analytics remotely, that there's a call out to Baidu (China), and they attempt to send such data at fairly regular intervals. I also see that my Bose QC35s do this.
So headphones sending listening analytics, location data, and other things to third parties is already provably happening.
The only question is what they're going to do with it... and the Bose 700 is the first to basically say that this data will be used to do "something", without defining what.
