If ths MSRP is 1.5x or more than US, I would rather buy from US and willing giveup warranty. Heck, it is very likely that I can get 2 set from US for the price of 1 in Canada.
What is the rate normally for a product? I don't even know the exchange rate these days. I assumed just about everthing had a different price when the border changed, in any direction for that matter.

Maybe someone could have better example then this. I tried searching the net, it's around US $480 - $500 to get AKG K701 from (assuming) authorized dealer in Canada.(after tax & shipping). You can get the same thing with headroom for $339.95(shipped to Canada). and not to mention Ebay or head-fi which is even less.

The USD & CND are basically EQUAL right now, yes sometimes the CND will go above, and then the USD will go above but they are essentially equal.

I think manufacturers have finally started to align their prices with the exchange rate. For example Toyota Canada just last week slashed all their sticker prices in Canada.
An AKG dealer price in Canada would likely be more than Headroom because HR discounts certain products below the MSRP to compete with other Internet retailers.
My buddy was in Bellingham, WA yesterday for Super Bowl and stopped at Costco and Best Buy to compare prices (mostly looked at electronics I think). He said everything was pretty much the same as the Canadian prices except booze and butter. You can thank the taxation levels for the difference on those two.
