paradise audio/video closed down
magnolia located somewhere along steven's creek. not sure the exact street but santana row is really close by. anyways they have HD600's, the HD555 doesn't work, eggo's have never been hooked up, all the sony's suck, and the HD280s work. damn i go there too much ...

edit:
btw guitar center also located on steven's creek, has select beyers, senns, akg, ultrasone, audio-technica. mostly dj and studio monitors though.

edit2:
bbtw compusa (also on steven's creek) has some senns. not sure if they'll let you demo it though, dont see why not

don't know if theyre still there but when I lived there, century stereo at bascom ave 280 exit had grados and senns. Also bay area audio at saratoga-sunnyvale exit 280 had 580s back in the 90s. hmm, don't even the good guys have all the senns?

Century moved down to the Prospect/Lawrence/Saratoga junction, and I don't know if they carry headphones anymore.

magnolia had all working headphones when i was there a few weeks ago. IF you got an ipod/line out with FLAC they can let you listen to it. They have this cheap looking CDP with an unknown sampler cd in it.

the headphones at the brick and martor are full price, eh?
