Do they exist?

 

[stonyboys]

probably not. not sanitary. there might be places that let you bring your own tips, but I doubt it.

 

[rawrster]

well apparently if u live in japan

other than meets and friends who own iem's chances arent very high of auditioning any

Singapore, man, Singapore. Almost all the major headphone sellers there (which ain't that many, less than 5 in total) will let you try most of the gears in the store, and some of them provide alcohol tissue for your convenience.

Singapore...well, if nothing else visiting will let me try the local cuisine, apparently one of the most unique in the world.

In New York, J&R Music World used to let you demo IEMs but I think they stopped doing that. Still worth stopping by there to check, plus they let you demo all their headphones. B&H Photo Video has headphones to demo, although I haven't asked if they have any IEMs that are opened and you can try.

singapore yea! jaben ftw

[jaibautista]

+1 for Singapore (and Jaben's)

 

[mark2410]

AMP3 have some demo sets, when i went to buy my se530 they asked if id like to demo them first. no idea what else they have/had as i never thought to ask. i had just assumed they wouldnt do demos so i had already decided what i was getting.

Oh my, and here I though most "audiophile" type shops let you audition stuff. *spoilt*
I remember spending 2 hours with HD600/HD650 a year ago before buying.

Alcohol tissues? 32 Ohm Audio has been known to provide fine regional Pinot Noirs to their guests. Not to mention multiple choices for world-class local brews within quick walking distance.

I believe HeadRoom in Bozeman also has a showroom with some demo capability.

Does Jaben have the ibasso D4 Mamba i am going to Singapore in 3 weeks time.

 

[KLS]

I remember reading somewhere that an audio shop in Singapore (Jaben I suppose?) has demo-units of JH Audio's and Fitear's products.

 

[the search never ends]

Apple stores, did, not sure if they still do, last time I was in one, they did. Just about every headphone they sell is also on the floor to audition.
