Hi all,
 
ill be going there this coming 3rd week of april
where should i go to?
the only place i know selling some headphones is sim lim square
i prefer places near orchard road
thanks a lot

not really near orchard, but the usual suspect would be jaben in the adelphi mall. you can audition pretty much everything and i'd say it's a little less dodgy than sim lim

Hung Bros in Sim Lim Sq is a reliable shop, I have dealt with them several times: http://www.hungbros.com/
But Jaben is the foremost headphone shop in Singapore, I would try them first.

OP: while you're in Singapore, you should use GoThere.sg for maps + directions. It's pretty good and I even use it on a daily basis to get around town.

As for headphone stores to visit, here are 3 in the general "Orchard Road" area (Orchard Road is the main shopping strip in Singapore, and is quite central).
 
Jaben -- #04-01 Adelphi 
http://gothere.sg/maps#q:adelphi
http://jaben.net/
 
Stereo -- #04-06, Plaza Singapura (this is their branch. Flagship is located up North in Woodlands neighbourhood)

http://stereo.com.sg/
 
Hung Brothers -- #03-08, Sim Lim Square
http://gothere.sg/maps#q:sim%20lim%20square
http://www.hungbros.com/
 
Do be careful not to get confused between "Adelphi" and "Delfi Orchard", and between "Sim Lim Square" and "Sim Lim Tower"

If you'd like to audition or purchase Sennheiser products, do consider visiting our concept stores/showrooms at either Pacific City in Marina Square or Tangs Department Store Orchard (3rd Floor, Technobay).

Went to the Marina Square Sennheiser store last year just after they finished the renovation, a little compact but quite a nice place. For those who can navigate the city subway and underground walkway, you can actual walk from Jaben to Marina Square in about 20 minutes using the various tunnel connecting the City Hall subway station (which is 5 minutes walk from Jaben) to Marina Square. Creative store is right next door of Sennheiser store so you get to visit two places in one visit.
 
P/S: Senn. does have all the latest stuff in there.

The three main places to audition IEMs in Singapore are Jaben at Adelphi, Stereo at Plaza Singapura, and Farle at Funan. There may be more but you should be safe shopping from any of these three.

OP, you've got all you're info by all the posters!
 
Jaben at The Adelphi (drop off at cityhall)
Stereo at Plaza Singapura (Drop off at dhoby ghaut)
Hung Bros at Sim Lim. 
And of course the flagship stores of respective brands in pacific city, Marina Bay.

That two have the most variety of things. Jaben has really good service and while the price may be higher, its somehow negotiable. For stereo, I'd suggest bring along your portable amp if you're going to test headphones there.

I don't think there are any Audio Technica stores here...Jaben has a very respectable collection of AT headphones though. (Which is not to say the others don't, it's just that I don't frequent them)
