FutureShop.ca: Bose On-Ear Audio Headphones With Fold-Flat Earcups $79.99 (Online Only)
This deal has expired!
Over in the forums, danzerino spotted a nice deal for those who want to upgrade their headphones but don't want to break the bank. For a limited time, the Bose On-Ear Headphones are on sale for $79.99 from $199.95. The item qualifies for free shipping and is available online only.
The reviews have been pretty decent so far. Based on 61 votes, these headphones scored an overall rating of 4.3/5 at FutureShop.ca. While the general consensus is that the headphones deliver full and rich sound quality and are comfortable to wear for a longer period of time, one or two reviewers have cited the base is heavy and overpowering and may not be suitable for some people. Read all the reviews here.
These Bose headphones are currently out of stock at Memory Express (sale price is $129.99), so if you're interested, you might want to place your order at Futureshop.ca to snag the $79.99 price sooner rather than later. The sale ends April 26.

If these are going to be your ONLY pair of headphones or if you are using them at home, I'd recommend putting your $80 toward something better. (see head-fi.org among other sites) But for commuting, they're great.
Bose-haters: move along, there's nothing to see here.
Thanks OP. Looks like a good deal! Might just pick these up!

Thanks OP
There is another choice currently at Costco. They are noise cancelling and fold down for travel. A tad more expensive- Sony MDRNC60- @ $150.
I bought them for my son and he loves them and i am considering getting a pair for myself.
here's a review;

Bose came stock on my Infiniti G. I also test drove an Infiniti M with even better Bose system. I love them so much that I bought a pair of Bose IE2, which I also love more than any of my similarly priced Sennheisers.
Is it overpriced? Yes. Does Bose make crap? Yes, especially those paper-cone systems found in lower-end cars. But they do make some good stuff, good enough for non-audiophiles. For those who are willing to pay, I don't see any problem with it.
Is there a good way to fix that kind of situation? Super glue doesn't fix it for me.

FutureShop says MSRP $199 is a jack up!

I don't like Bose either as their stuff is quite overpriced but at $80 it's quite a decent buy. Too bad I don't find these comfortable at all. The AEs are much more comfortable IMHO.
And those Monster Beats... Those have gotta be fakes.
and I see that the last comment on the page products is on march 2009, 3 years ago
Im looking for a good headphone but im not sound fanatic so I dont wanna spend hundreds of $, I didnt even want to spend 80 but why not if the quality is really good.
At a price of 50.84 ( TAX IN ) it's too hard to resist.
They actually are overpriced crap and you don't have the right to ask people what to write and what not to write here!
This is a discussion board and people like to discuss things and spread the word about products and companies, this is the essence of RFD and you can't change that.
Anyways, good deal on these headphones. May pick it up sometime this weekend.
