    Sennheiser HD580's in Canada?

    Like I say, you'll get your phones a whole lot faster if you pay by PayPal. As soon as he confirmed my payment, I had my headphones in about a week and a half. I live in Saskatoon, as I already stated. You can ask him to put 'gift' on the package, to cut down on extra fees you might incur by...

    Sennheiser HD580's in Canada?

    I live in Canada too, and got pretty frustrated trying to find some decent phones. Not much selection in Saskatoon, I'm afraid. So I decided to order a pair of Beyer DT 250-80s from Jan Meier. Check out http://www.meier-audio.com/ where he has the Senn HD580s for less than you're gonna pay...

    Ack, tempting. But I think I'm gonna stick with my JMT CHA-47 that's on the way, and see how I like this high end audio stuff before blowing too much money on it all. By the way, Steve's Music SUCKS. Nothing but problems with trying to order from them (their Montreal location). Unfriendly...

    Electric Ladyland

    Damn, that reminds me: I bought a bunch of lps at a record store a year ago, including an original copy of Electric Ladyland. I've yet to listen to it though. Gonna have to this weekend!

    Your 5 newest CDs (or LPs)

    In search of headphones in the middle of nowhere (Canada).

    Well, I've placed my order from the Montreal location of Steve's Music. Getting Beyer DT 250-80s! Weeeeeeeee! I'm paying $229 Canadian ($148 US), which while a bit more than you paid for yours Biggie, is still better than I could get pretty much anywhere else. Now all I need is my JMT amp. Can't...

    In search of headphones in the middle of nowhere (Canada).

    Aos, I emailed www.stevesmusic.com. They've got stores in Toronto and Montreal I understand, and have pretty much every major brand. I plan to get my Beyers from them, for much less than I'd have to pay ANYWHERE else. In the future, try checking them out, maybe you can find what youre looking...

    First ever amp...

    I've ALMOST completely made up my mind, and think I'm gonna buy my first high end headphones, the Beyerdynamic DT 250-80s, with the Sennheiser HD 280 Pros being a distant second choice at this point. I'm also looking for an amp, and am leaning towards a JMT or a Porta Corda (HeadRoom products...

    In search of headphones in the middle of nowhere (Canada).

    Whelp, I finally got a reply from Steve's Music. They say they have the Beyer 250s for $229 Canadian (pretty good price, no?). I found one store in my city that can order the Senn 280s for $285 Canadian. Like hell I'm paying that much for a $99 US pair of headphones. So, looks like it'll be the...

    In search of headphones in the middle of nowhere (Canada).

    Sheesh. Well, does does HeadRoom ONLY ship via UPS? Surely I could get them to ship using an alternate source, vastly reducing any fees I'd have to pay to obtain my headphones. Still haven't gotten a response from Steve's Music, and it's been days now. Jlo: Yes, I've called every, single...

    In search of headphones in the middle of nowhere (Canada).

    Living in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan sucks. Not a single store here carries either of the phones I'm looking for (nor can they order in, or so they claim...): Senn 280 Pros, Beyer 250-80s, Grado SR 80s. So now I have to find somewhere else to go. Can anyone in Canada reccomend where to search? I...

    Can someone tell me why I can't PM people?

    Actually, I checked, and I have the PM things on. I read in the faq, and it looks like I have to maybe be added by an admin to finalize my registration?

    Can someone tell me why I can't PM people?

    I'm not very familiar with how to work these forums. I try to pm a person, and I get a Bulletin Message saying: You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to. Are you trying...

    Looking into getting my first set of high end headphones... (kind of long)

    Damn...I don't wanna have to pay that extra 30 US, or any other taxes and stuff from getting it across the border. Maybe I'll give some stores in other cities here in Canada a ring and see if they could hook me up with the Senn 280s, or if i can get them at a good price, the Beyer 250s. Now...

    Looking into getting my first set of high end headphones... (kind of long)

    Wow, Biggie...only 30 dollars difference...in Canadian dollars? Where abouts did you and your friend buy from? I'm from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and can't find anything here. My plan was to buy from HeadRoom, but like delenda est Sony said, the 250s cost 70 US dollars more than the 280s.

    Looking into getting my first set of high end headphones... (kind of long)

    Well, I'm exhausted from all the reading I've done here. I've been trying to learn more about high end headphones, and then make my decision as to what ones I want. I'm now willing to spend up to 200 US dollars...maybe more, but not if I can help it. I've also thought that I might pick up an...

    Looking into getting my first set of high end headphones... (kind of long)

    Hmm... delenda est Sony: You say the SR80s need an amp, as do the guys over at HeadRoom to sound its best. But the guy at Goodcans.com speaks highly of the SR80, recommending it over the SR60, and doesn't say you need an amp for it. Playing out of a discman apparently is fine, according to...

    Looking into getting my first set of high end headphones... (kind of long)

    Hi all! I'm relatively new to all this audiophile stuff. I'm looking into getting a quality set of 'cans', and I've got quite a number of questions I need help with before I make my decision on which to get. Forgive me for sounding like the complete noob that I am, but I need some help. I don't...
