If I was still in Hong Kong, we could've met up...

Kingsound has a pretty good selection, but the prices can be pretty high compared to US prices.
But when you compare to EU prices, they are cheap again.

Mingo is a good place the audiophiles. It provides a lot of headphones for customers to try. You can leave me a PM when you arrive in HK.

Here are two threads (from a few months ago). They might be of some interest to you.

After reading this thread, I went to both locations, and bought my triple.fis from Kingsound. Kingsound was good, it carried a wide selection of headphones, and amps for people to try. But Mingo's place truly blew my mind.

Mingo's place was truly heaven for anyone that likes the headphone hobby. The owner of the shop introduced himself and shook my hand, which made me immediately comfortable being there. The place is big, well-lit, cold(awesome compared to HK heat), and comfy. It features a lounge where people can sit, talk, and try out the products they offer, a wide selection of drinks are even available for purchase. The people that work there were also top notch, polite, and had real smiles (hard to find in a city like HK).
A little island full of demo amps and interconnects allow customers to openly pick up and try out their selected gear in the lounge area.t. They include tube amps and portable amps (mostly chinese brands like micro dot, xtra, Shanling). The headphones and earphones can also be tried out, and they are hung from the glass cabinets in which the boxed products are displayed in. However, higher end headphones and ear phones are excluded for demo.

Both locations were easy to find, provided that you used the map they had on the sites.

Overall, Mingo is definitely a place to try out. The products available, the atmosphere, the opportunity to try out the products makes it a heaven for any audiophile.

thanks for the suggestions
I live in Hong Kong, but I hardly frequent Mong Kok; I didn't even know these places existed.
Mingo's prices seem to be higher than Kingsound, like for the AKGs.
