Are there any stores on the Gold Coast of Australia or in Brisbane that stock a good range of high end headphones? I'm off there for a holiday in a couple of months and I thought with it being a big city there might be places that have good cans to try.

Alternately is there a head-fi'r there who has high end grados, A900s, Senn 600/650/595s that they'd be happy for me to have a listen too? In NZ places don't really stock good cans, the prices here are very high too.

hi most shops in brisbane stock sennheiser. i'm not too sure which ones in particular, but av domain at toowong stock senns (not sure of models)

other than that i have a sr225 that you can listen to. another guy here, bioxeed has a pair of dt770s. not sure of any other people in brisbane though. another guy in brisbane has sr225s as well.

Hey Commando,

Make a real holiday of it! Come down to Sydney and you'll have lots of options including listening to my MS-pros.

Besides, the beer is MUCH better in Sydney.

Cheers,

TonyAAA

Thanks everyone, i'll get in contact before I go in a couple of months. Tony, i'll be in Sydney some time later this year I think, i'll give you a yell then

 

[TonyTripleA]

Great Commando, by then I should have some interesting gear for you to listen to. And if 3lusive3 gets his PPX3... heck, even I'm excited waiting for him to hear it!

Enjoy Queensland till you get "down South" to Sydney!

Cheers,

Tony AAA

Hey Commando... see what you started! Now you'll have to come to Sydney and host a meet!!!

Why don't us Sydneysiders look up the meeting forum in about a month and co-ordinate something. And sorry to get a bit off topic, but heck Commando, by the time you get here we might have a mini-head-fi group going.

Cheers,

Hey, you're talking about me when i'm not looking

Just kidding.

 

[commando]

Heh heh, cool. I won't be over until closer to xmas, so it gives you guys time to get things together

I've got a bit of stuff I could bring, if I could fit it all in my suitcase...

There aren't really any places in Brisbane that are *that* worth going to for headphones. As was said above, plenty of places (like JB Hi-fi) stock Sennheiser and will probably have some on display for you to listen to. Toombal Music probably have some hi end Sennheisers to listen to. If you can't find any places that will let you audition HD600s, I'd be more than happy to let you try mine out.
