I was hoping to check out and maybe pick up a pair of UM1's, but I'd rather do so in person rather than on-line if possible. Anyone know of any dealers in the area that may carry them? If not, I will just check them out at B&H next time I am in NYC (I'm pretty sure they carry them). Thanks all!

bump

Anyone?

 

[nabwong]

Have you tried Guitar Center or Daddy's music? I've seen shures there.

 

[Byrns5512]

I've been to the Guitar Center by BU before, but I never really paid attention to their headphone selection, I'm sure a quick call could clear that up. Im not familiar with daddy's--what/where is that?

I am heading to new york tomorrow, so I will probably stop by B&H. Ill keep the thread going, however, for the benefit of fellow Bostonians/Canterbridgians

 

[nabwong]

Daddy's opposite Berkeley on Mass Ave.

 

[p0wderh0und23]

GC is not carrying Westone (yet). Demand drives those guys. Anywho .. give B&H a shout when you are in NYC they should have some in stock.

Currently there are no "store fronts" in Boston.

 

[nabwong]

Yeah, Boston ain't headphone land. Only a few shops carry any.

Guitar Center
Daddy's
Spearit Sound ( Boston - Comm Ave )
Audio Lab ( Harvard sq )

Anywhere else?

Thanks for the info powderhound--I don't think anyone would be able to answer better than you

That seems like a comprehensive list, nabwong, as to my knowledge. I usually order on the internet, though I did buy my px200's from Audio Lab. That seems to be the best place for phones--he carries Grado, Koss, Senn, and some AKG. I've actually seen decent ones at the Apple Store Cambridgeside (ety's, Senns) though, as usual, only Bose for trial. Cambridge Soundworks carries some Koss and Grado (maybe Senn?) but not too much.

Thanks again, Ill let you know how the trip to b&h goes

 

[skudmunky]

yeah, it's hard to find 'phones here. I got my portaPros from Cambridge Soundworks, and they carry lower end Senns and Grados as well as the Koss and Creative lines. Prices are normal too, sometimes I buy there to save shipping, or have an easier way to return the 'phones if I don't like them.

 

[Oistrakh]

anyone know if the guitar center in Natick, Mass (next to Michael's) has IEMs? If so, what brand?

 

[roybatty]

Daddy's doesn't have UM1's either.

 

[nabwong]

Oh, Try Microcenter in Cambridge. The last time i went, which was a couple of months ago, i saw Shures and T-amp.

Daddy's closest to Hynes Convention center, B line.

Microcenter is a long walk from any T station ( central sq - red line ) or BU west on the B line. I think the closest bus is 64.

From daddy's, take number 1 to central sq, then transfer to 64.

To go to spearit, take the B line from hynes, stop at BU west. From spearit sound, take 64 from BU bridge. ( Actually, today's a really nice day, walk from spearit sound. Cross the BU bridge to cambridge and then walk along the charles river.
