Just joined this wonderful community. I wa wondering if anyone here is aware of a retailer where one can demo units like the UE700, HF5 and UM1 IEMs? I've narrowed my search down to these three options and was wondering if anyone knows where I can try these out?

 

Thanks

I'm not aware of any stores that allows you to demo the UE700 or HF5, but I know Charles at the headfoneshop has a UM1 for demo.

+1 on kckc's recommendation, haven't visited the store yet but I know he has atleast the UM1s for demo, possibly other IEMs.

I've been there several times. In terms of IEMs, he has the entire Shure and Westone lineup for demo. If I remember correctly, he also has the NuForce NE700x, Ortofon e-Q5 and Klipsch x10i for demo.

That's helpful..thank you...I intend to find to some time to get up there. There doesn't seem to be any Toronto area retailer taht selld Ultimate Ears or Etytomic IEM's? Given that these are rated among the top brands for IEM's, I find this surprising. The reviews on the HF5's are especially good. They're available on amazon.com for $95 but I hate buying a product without trying it first.

Amazon's return policy is pretty good, so you could just return it if you don't like it? Although you'd be losing out on the cost of shipping..
