i can't find the price for it here in canada.

i had a hard time finding these for a good price in Canada too. I ended up buying them from the u.s., you can use www.xe.com for currency exchange rates. Unfortunately the u.s. dollar just went up, but it is still pretty low.

Hi-Fi center has it for 18x(one hundred eighty something) plus tax.

I'm not sure where in Canada you live, but you can get them from audioshop
( http://www.audioshop.on.ca/grado.htm ) for 170 plus shipping and tax. If you live in Ottawa, you could probably get a better deal if you talked to them in person.

The problem is $170-$180 plus taxe is pretty much normal for canadian prices that like 50% increase over american price.



Disclaimer: I haven't deal with the next compagny so I don't know about their service it may be the good I just don't know.

While I was browsing the net I came on www.A4audio.com which sell mosly CD but have the Grado at US price in US dollar but they are located in Richmond Hill,ON so you don't have to deal with duty and such
$93 USD for SR-80 =$114 sure beat $170-180 that you usualy find here.
Go to the menu and browse by brand to grado it's on the last pages (or pages 3 if you want higer-end grado)

That's why the Alessandros seem like such a good deal, especially with the stronger (at least until the last few days) Canadian dollar. $99 USD including shipping, customs and tax if you're unlucky. That was at least part of my reasoning in taking my first "Grado" plunge.

including shipping TO CANADA?

that would be such a great deal!

Canada sucks for those into headphones... you lucky American bastages.

don't buy Sr-80 for $CDN150. try the buy/sell section in head-fi.

How do you come up with the name like audioshop and a4audio. I google search it, I cann't find any music store that carries Grado/Shure in Vancouver area, Hi-Fi centre is told by a forum member here. I find headphones are ridiculously expensive here in Canada. If you are really good at searching, can you find other stores that carry Grado/Shure in Vancouver area? A store I can actually visit.

Here was my rant

Is it really that expensive in canada for grado headphones????

Here in the it's just as worse. And the prices are fixed so no one can give you a discount.

I love grado's, I love the sound but as for the economics they can suck my balls.
