How are people finding the prices of phones outside of the USA.
Here in Aus some of them are up 30-40% because of the AU dollar.

It depends on the brand.
European brands like Sennheiser and AKG are quite nicely priced up here. While Grado and Stax are insane priced.

Grado as an example if 50% more expensive than in the US, VAT not included. Stax about the same..

senns is about the ONLY thing I have ever seen that is cheaper here then in the US

Grado in australia is fairly overpriced as well. With quotes of $550 even on ebay for the Grado 325i.

The rest are fairly good, well basically australia needs to import those headphones... and we a low volume country anyway.

Might be some old volume stuff before the currency crash Porta Pros are like 120, 134 far out, even 100 on ebay. For something that can be had for like $16 USD exclude delivery)

I was refering to prices on higher end phones.
Sony SA5000 are near $1000 now.
Grado RS1 near $1200 and GS1000 $1500.
Its starting to turn into a very expensive hobby.
Will be cheaper to buy monitor speakers soon.
