Sure, you could buy the Audi and pay less for a qualitatively better product, but do you really want to live with the uncertainty of casting your fate to the five people who don't agree on exactly which product is superior and better priced?
The only Bose product I own are the QuietComfort II 'phones. Someone on this board will tell me I could have paid less for something that cost $75 to $100 less that does the same job, but the brand premium I paid does not feel like wasted money to me.
*Note: Not Does It for Less. That's the other board.

After checking out the iPod lounge, I'm going to the Apple store this weekend for some comparison shopping. They raved about the JBL Creatures but I live in a
really small condo and would prefer a 1 piece unit rather than 3 pieces.
Any comments on Macalley products? I was looking at car chargers. Their's was half the price of the Belkin. For the record, said car charger would be used in my Jeep, but I would love an Audi.
