Ah, the shop that I normally go it e-earphone because they have more item there and you can test any earphone or headphone you like.
Before I know about e-earphone, normally I went to Yodobashi Camera, but when testing higher-end earphone which is kept in the glass cabinets, those staff normally starring at you for the whole process.
C'mon, who can actually focus on the sound when you are treated like a criminal under surveillance?
When was your last time went to e-earphone? They just moved their 2nd-hand-purchasing section to a sub store and replace it with high-end headphone audition corner last year. That is heaven for me. All those high-end headphones under $10k that you can find in the world basically are there for you to try on. And, you can pair them with multiple famous amp if the request is made. The staff speaks English and he is so kind. But it also makes me suffer because I have no money to buy them
Some times after trying those headphones, the staffs saw the smile on me and he would kindly ask me how I think about them and look at me with those eyes that expecting me to buy them which make me really embarrassed to say "I will consider that"
Nice tips on the genre selection! I have never used it before!
