The only Bose product i would buy are the Quiet Comfort Noise Cancelling Headphones. If you've ever used one of those while on a plane, trust me, you'll never want to fly without them ever again. If you travel alot, you'll find them well worth it and they are much more comfortable than those Shure plugs (i have a pair) or other "noise-blocking" earphones. Everywhere you read, the Bose QC headphones beat the competition in noise cancelling technology and they sound decent too. Screw em for home theatre. Way overpriced for average performance.
