I wanted to get Woo Amp but ended up getting Burson 160DS cause I manage to find the local store here in Toronto.

 

I also want to order Ultrasone Ed 8 and HD800 but can't find any local stores that matches US price. :( damn duty fees !!

 



 

Do you mind if I ask what website you ordered the 650's from?

I guess I shouldn't complain, but In the US it's pretty much $250 + $20 of shipping, I ended up paying about $345 for the damn thing! Oh well, I guess many people here are familiar with it - start with a budget of $200, end up paying $350...

Thought I'd update. So, in the space of a month, I picked up the Bifrost and the Lyr. Both wound up having a very similar declared value, both shipped by USPS. The Bifrost got through with no additional fees beyond the shipping paid (so no tax, duty, brokerage, etc). The Lyr did get caught and I had to pony up $60+ in taxes. Again, no duty or other fees.

 

It really comes down to luck on the USPS stuff as to whether you'll get tagged for taxes. As for UPS or other carriers... I try never to use them.

I got the 650 from Razordogdeals on ebay, made an offer for $330 and it went through. Ended up paying $375 total and the 2 year warranty works in Canada. They declared it as "gift" with a $75 value.

Thanks !, I went to Bay Bloor Radio several times already, I spent good hours to test Grados PS/GS, Senn's HD800, HD650, Denon 7k, 5k, 2k, pretty much everything that they have it there.

 

Basically Bay Bloor Radio is overpriced retail store, there were selling Denon 7k for $999 plus tax which I ended up paying $700 tax, shipping included from MostlyDigital. So I say about $400 overpriced.

 

I even emailed Bay Bloor Radio if they are willing to reduce some prices on few headphones but no replies, haha,

Was the Denon 7k on sale?  Right now it is $939.  Thanks for letting me know about this store Mostly Digital.

Was that shipped by UPS, I'm currently doing the same and was wondering about his eBay page saying that it has $10 brokerage fee for UPS, but UPS has so many fees that they tack on besides brokerage that it makes one hesitant to us them.

Denon AH-D7000 is listed $929 plus tax and plus shipping at Mostly Digital, (was not on sale)

I believe the manager was Randy, I called him and I brought down the deal to $700 including tax, shipping was extra $16.

 

Also JR Audio was willing to give me for $625 plus shipping but it's from US.
