Earphone Retailer in Canada?

[darkcloud8282]

I live in BC, and there doesnt seem to much choice for earphone purchases. Anyone know where I can find decent earphones for $100~?

Stereotype Audio is a Canadian online retailer.

Canada sucks for buying headphones, period. Your choices are:

Travel to America and buy headphones there.
Have an American friend buy for you from Amazon, pick it up from him.
Buy on eBay.
Buy on Head-Fi forums.

I'll leave the "good headphones for $100" question to others, or the hundreds of threads that ask the same think

Welcome to Head-Fi, and sorry about your wallet!

A lot of retailers ship to Canada. My personal favorite is earphonesolutions.com , which happens to be an HF sponsor.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm looking at Westone UM1/UE Super.Fi 3 Studio/Etymotic ER-6i

I saw a Harman/Kardon EP710 at Futureshop on sale recently, but I didn't see many reviews on it so I didn't risk buying it. Anyone know if they're any good?

Another vote for stereotype audio- Always a pleasure to deal with.

AxeMusic (axemusic.com) is Canadian, based out of Calgary and Edmonton. They sell most of the AKG, Sennheiser and Audio Technica lines, and the usual suspects (Pioneer, Denon, Sony). The website kinda sucks, but I've had good success with a couple of purchases from them. You'll find headphones in the DJ section. Don't seem to have much in the way of IEMs though.

I'll also leave the recommendations question to others, as I don't have the experience. I'm quite happy with my K81DJ though.

I just bought a pair of q-jays from Stereotype Audio today because Headroom, Audiocubes and Amazon don't have any in stock (I'm actually a resident of NY, not Canada). The owner, Kevin, was pretty helpful. For whatever reason, my bank wouldn't allow me to make payment to Stereotype with my Visa bank/debit card so I asked if I could do it via PayPal and he responded and sent me an invoice pretty quick. That's pretty good customer service to me.
