Everybody says Bose is not worth the money, unless you have the money. I have Bose computer speakers and like Striker said, they kick some serious ass. I am amazed at how loud, clear and beautiful they sound. I also have the ear buds and the noise canceling headphones. It's like sticking your ear between two of the nicest boobs you can think of, and they work great. With that being said, Godfather who I understand really knows his sound systems thinks Sony's are just as good for less money. I live by the rule, you get what you pay for. I know Bose equipment lasts forever. Anything I have ever owned that was Sony hasn't lasted much more than a couple of years. That's my 2 cents. I love my Bose stuff
