I used to think so, but had the opportunity to put Bose against other suppliers in a commercial tender (sound quality, cost, life-cycle value, etc.. ) - this was for 12 x 200 seat lecture theatre and 47x60 seat classrooms.

Bose won, much to my surprise.

I now have at home (paid list price for) Bose SoundDock (lounge/dining room), SoundLink mini (kitchen/garden), and QuietComfort3 Noise Cancelling headphones (rail/air travel).

I like the sound quality, and they will last for decades - value/cost equation.
