With bose you get the best of both worlds. Nice simple technology and materials
like you see in a $60 pair of headphones, but a $350 price tag so you can have
that special feeling of pride that comes from having spent too much. When the
plug to cord connection goes intermittant in a year, you can feel that the $100
repair bill isn't so bad since the headphones cost $350.
