hey guys, i am going to buy a pair of headphone on thanksgiving but still can't decide between sennheiser hd650 and grado rs1. i really wanna try those before i buy, because they are not cheap for a college student. so i'm wondering if there is any headphone dealers in DC area? 
thanks

If you find the answer, let me know. I am also very close to this area; never any places to audition real headphones...

I think these guys have Grado. I'm not sure about other stuff.

You could just call them. I did a while back about auditioning Grado's they don't have demo pairs for all of them but they will let you listen to them. I think they may have others but maybe 2 or 3 other cans. 
Theres a place in VA if that isn't too inconvenient. Called a while back, owners a nice guy.

Gifted Listener is 5 minutes from my house. They  stock Grado and Alesandro phones and the owner is a very nice guy.

Mind boggling to know that there are Head-Fi'ers living right by me... <.<

Any Audio-Technica or Sennheiser dealers?
 
I think pro-audio or music stores will have some phones, but I imagine they would mostly have closed ones.
