Hi,
I have tried to find accurate and *current* prices on headphones in Singapore, but the examples I do find are for phones that I have little interest in, or the info is more than 12 months old. 100 Aussie dollars will currently get me more than 120 SGD (onshore rate), and I will be there in mid-December. I have read
Here are examples of Aussie prices on the Grados that I would be interested in, preferably if these numbers were SGD rather than AUD
SR 325i - $500
RS2i - $880
RS1i - $1200
GS1000i - $1500
I've tried sgheadphones.net, but their feedback on prices often seems to be a case of the blind leading the blind - this is an example of the advice given there:
Go Jaben try 2. Then the JVC head over to Funan?
It seems to rely on the posters being resident in Singapore - fair enough, but where is the web presence for these retailers ? The Jaben online store is woeful, with the exception of these Beyerdynamic packages:
Jaben Online Store
I accept that I dont usually take a notebook shopping with the intention of reporting back to Head-Fi on the price of local goodies, but I could give you a fair estimate of most of the popular headphones in our market purely based on hours of drooling over various online product descriptions.
I currently have about 3K Aussie burning a hole in my pocket, but hanging on until December will be worth it if I can get any of the above for a significant amount off the Aussie price. Feedback most welcome.
Thanks,
