Where to buy Ultrasone HFI-780 in Canada?

Why does Canada suck so bad when trying to buy decent audio equipment? They either rape you on the price or don't even sell what you want. In my town the highest end headphone all the stores sell are Sennheiser HD555. I had to buy my HD595's online. Now I am considering getting a pair of Ultrasone HFI-780 but have no idea where to buy those in Canada. Anyone know a *Canadian* online store that sells them?

Tom Lee Music in Vancouver sells a lot of Ultrasone stuff, but I don't know if they have the HFI-780 specifically.

Please don't say "They either rape you on the price". Rape isn't funny.

Trew Audio sells them. They have a store in Toronto. But once again, it isn't nearly as cheap as buying online.

Trew Audio - Headphones & Earpieces - Ultrasone - Ultrasone HFI780 Headphones

Try contacting the Audio Shop in Ottawa. The sell Ultrasone Online but they don't specifically list this model.

Please note that I have no affiliation with them, nor have I ordered anything from them online. They do have a very good reputation in Ottawa tho'.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

I tried them to no avail, before I went to Trew Audio in Toronto and got a pretty good deal on them. I think I paid $235 + tax, maybe a few dollars more.

Then you need to learn the origin of the word. [Origin: 1250–1300; (v.) ME rapen < AF raper < L rapere to seize, carry off by force, plunder; (n.) ME < AF ra(a)p(e), deriv. of raper] I'm using the word in this context so cut the PC bs, please. 4.an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation; violation: the rape of the countryside. Did you know that canola oil is made from the *rape*seed? Canola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks, I can order them online via Trew Audio. One thing though, I have rather large ears and am wondering if these headphones will be comfortable enough for me. I find the Senn HD595's completely comfortable, are these going to be as comfortable as those?

I ended up getting my HFI 780 thanks to this thread. Trew Audio doesn't really carry them in stock anymore but they special ordered them in when I asked about it so just a heads up to anyone still looking for a place to pick them up.

Thanks again.
