A friend of mine in Round Rock TX (north of Austin) has one of those BOSE Wave Radios (aka Bose Wave Music System), and yes - it is a nice product (I've heard it twice when visiting), but IMO overpriced of course, just like their other products.... $250 for their pair of headphones,? etc. 
(the Bose TV infomercial is absolutely correct on one thing - their systems are EASY to hook up, but you pay much more than what their products are truly worth, IMO)

Oh, I'll agree they are pricey, but what I'm getting at is for something pricey, at least they are worth it. You can find three of their headphones at BB for under $200. They have an over the ear padded model for $179, then one that covers the ears for for $137, and then the ear-plug style for $99.
I own a Zune, so I have a pair of the ear-plug style and I can tell you they make all the difference in the world. It's like having a massive home stereo in your head! I just love the rich base tones they get! they make the pair that came with my Zune look like some cheap crap from Radioshack! I also have a pair of the $137 ones I use at home, and they are awesome! I will admit though, you can't tell a lot of difference between the $99 ones compared to the $137 set. They are both very well worth the money!

Thanks Tim... I didn't know those^ prices (cheaper) and the various styles. Will have to check out, as I've been thinking about getting a pair of headphones (my older set is not in the best shape), so maybe that $137 model might do it. In the past (1980s-90s) I've bought Koss and Sennheiser, but haven't checked their prices lately (in comparison to Bose). Thanks for the update.
