I don't know about Vancouver, but I saw a pair of MDR-7506's (which are identcal to the V6) at Long and McQuade for $199. I'm not sure if you can find them for cheaper. Seeing that you can buy the MDR-V6 from the US for like, $60-70 USD... even with taxes/duties/shipping, it'll still come out cheaper than buying 7506's locally, I think.

You can get the Grados at Sound Hounds in Victoria on Pandora Street (i think that's what street they're on); that's where I got my SR80's....as for Vancouver, I quite honestly have no idea....

I'm pretty sure you can get the 7506's at Long & McQuade for $199, like fiddler said...Sony doesn't distribute the V6's in Canada.

it's hard to find stuff in Vancouver....here's a boatload:

Long & McQuade: Senn HD280; AKG Studio series, K 301; Audio Technica pro series.

Tom Lee [preferably Granville and Helmcken Street]: Sony 750x; AKG pro series; Senn HD 280; bunch of DJ phones [ie. Technics, Stanton]

Hi-Fi Centre [Seymour St, near A&B sound]: Grados; Senn HD 600.

Signature Audio [Cambie and West 14th]: Grado SR 60, 80;

A&B Sound: Koss PortaPro, SportaPro; Senn HD 590, PMX 60.

Radioshack: Senn MX400;

Commercial Electronics [Burrard and Burnaby Street]: AKG K301, K 401;almost all beyerdynamics [DT 231 for $150]; Ultrasone HFI650, HFI6000; Senn HD 25-1, HD 570, HD 590, HD 600.

as for prices, the 7506's cost about C$200.....HD 280s cost about C$160-180...and the Grado SR60's cost about C$135-140, i think...

as for other phones...the AKG K271S is about C$300..the Senn HD 590 is about $300 as well, while the the HD 600 is about C$600...and Grado SR80's are about C$170-200

..there don't seem to be any places that sell cheap senn's like the PX200 and the HD 497...wonder where those are...hopefully my list is incomplete..

so that's all I found..hope this helps....

shouldn't you be asking where in Portland?

go over the border, young man.

find a price, go back into canada, convert some currency, then go over the border again.

yes, you can!

as for going south of the border, why Portland? Is it hard to find stuff in Seattle too?

just to let ppl know, I bought my sony 7506's at Tom Lee music, $180CDN, $20 less than long and mcquade.

I also bought my grado sr60's locally, i think around $110-120CDN, at soundplus. I think its a high end audio store on broadway?

best bet is to use the good ol phone book and look under musical instruments, stereos, and sound. Thats how i do it at least...

still cant find a place locally that will sell or audition senn px200's though...
