Audiophiles in Dubai?
Apr 1, 2016 at 9:20 AM Post #1,216 of 1,748
  Denon store (Hifi City) in the Dubai Mall Electronics section is having a sale on various HP's & iems. The PSB M4U1 is selling for AED 499. I certainly do not need another HP, I was just walking around the mall after dropping my kid to a play area & just went to the electronics section to pass the time. I walked into the Denon store & was trying out the HP's for fun. They also had Focal Spirit  & various Denon HP's. I put on the PSB & was quite impressed by the sound - great mids & sound stage, nice bass, smooth treble. Also quite comfortable although I don't really care about the "Beats" look.I put it back & made the mistake of looking at the price. These are a steal at 499, so walked out with one, though I don't need one

Hahaha, for this price it's very hard to control yourself. I have seen this one as well at VV Sons(Denon/Marantz etc.) in Dubai Mall and tried it - but was able to convince myself that I can't possible buy a red headphone (didn't even ask if they had other colors available, thankfully). It is indeed a extremely good sounding headphone for an amazing price. 
 
Bring it to the meet please :wink:
 
Cheers!

Does anyone have a passive preamp like the Schiit Sys, Emotiva Control Freak or anything similar?

I am looking also some suggestions and experience about where to go for ear impressions.
 
Any help is much appreciated


Advanced Hearing and Balance Center Wafi Mall:

Mediclinic City Hospital:

Al Zahra Clinic:

Call and ask if they do ear impressions - I know the City hospital did them for a friend and the AHBC does them regularly for hearing aids - so should be no problem at all.

I called these clinics
 
Al Zahra Clinic:: I gave up after they transfer me to the 6th person.
Mediclinic Dubai Mall : Specialist is on the emergency leave so they can not tell the cost
 
Advanced Hearing and Balance Center Wafi Mall: Cost is150 AED for both ears, Appointment is necessary.

I love that!!
 
AHBC - there is a Australian Lady (their audiologist) she is brilliant - did wonders with the hearing aids for my father in law. The costs are really good compared to the rest of the world.
 
Thanks for doing the research for Team Dubai!
 
Cheers!
