Serious flaw in Bose headphones

Perhaps you saw my praise over my new Bose headphones with noise reduction a couple of days ago. Well, now I've discovered a serious flaw that I didn't realise before.

When you run out of batteries, like I have now, the headphones don't work at all. Granted that the noise reduction feature can't work without batteries but I should at least be able to listen to music in them don't you think?

It should work like this:

 function listen2music():
     if hasBatteryPower():
        playMusic(enable_noise_reduction=true)
     else:
        playMusic(enable_noise_reduction=false)
