Well poops! Depending on when you're in town and whether you can travel out of Seattle proper, you might check out the Seattle area meetup: http://www.head-fi.org/t/729198/seattle-mini-meet-with-bottlehead-and-blumenstein-2-channel-pacific-northwest-audio-society-thurs-aug-14#post_10765980

Maybe Best Buy? I'm looking for somewhere to try out headphones as well (would prefer Audio Technica, TBH), and though I've seen some suggestions I haven't found anywhere yet. FYI, Hawthorne Stereo does not have any headphones out - I called today to check - in case anyone mentions them.

Hello all! I'm a former-lurker-turned-legit-member (as it seems many are) from the Seattle area. IDK that I'll be posting much, but this forum has been an invaluable resource for a n00b like myself. :)
