Where to buy the Sennheiser HD 25-1's **in Canada**???

Ive been checking amazon/ebay etc. daily for the past few weeks to find the cheapest pair of Sennheiser HD 25-1's.  I would buy used, but I want the warranty.  I've found a site ProAudioStar that will ship to Canada for me, and they will cost me roughly $200 inclusive of everything.  Does anyone know of anywhere else that I would be able to get them cheaper (while still getting the warranty)? Does anybody know this site and know if it is legit or not?

 

Also I always see the HD 25's compared to the M50's, but are those comparisons for the 25 SP's or the 25-1's?  Is it safe to say that the 25-1's are an easy win over the M50's?

 

Lastly, Id like to use these for portable use...within this price range, and without sacrificing quality, are these the best choice?  It seems like they are built very well.

 

Thanks.

 

 

EDIT: just found out about the customs taxes meaning that the actual cost to me will be around $250 not $200 if I purchase from that website...does anybody know of any Canadian websites/store locations that I would be able to purchase these for $200?

I think the HD-25-1-ii has more detail and is more fun to listen to.  The V-Moda M80 / V80 is a slight upgrade to the HD-25 so if that helps you at all perhaps you could go that route.

I was thinking Grado - sorry.  Here is the direct Canadian Sennheiser site:

futureshop has them sometimes on sale for 200, they're the adidas version (which is $100 more than the regular black version). If you know a person working there, you can get them for 200 flat with employee discount.

Thanks guys...Id get the adidas version if they went on sale for $200 but theyre at $300 right now, and unfortunately I dont know anyone that works there to take advantage of the discount.  Its weird that they carry that but not the original version.

No chance anyone here works at Future Shop in the Toronto/London Ontario area and would like to give me an employee discount? tongue_smile.gif
