Upon reading on the forum, I sometimes found travelling headfiers seeking shops around Tokyo.
I offer you this headphones journey to take a short cut of headphones hunting in Tokyo area.
First, go to Akihabara(秋葉原) station. Then visit Dyna 5555 first floor. It's within walking distance.
After that, take some walk toward Ochanomizu(御茶ノ水) station which is next to Akihabara. Near the gate of Kanda-myojin shrine(which is the guardian god of Tokyo), you can find newer Refino&Anhelo high-end store. visit 2F of the store.
Then take a walk again to Ochanomizu-station and if you have reached the station, visit Audio Union 4th floor near the station.
Go back to Ochanomizu station and take Chuou-line(orange colored train) toward Takao(高尾)/Shinjyuku(新宿) direction(Kudari/下り). You can also take yellow colored sobu-line but this is local train and stops every station. Chuou-line is express train and it skips some minor stations that means faster.
Get off at Nakano(中野) station. Go to Nakano-broadway shopping mall and visit Fujiya-Avic at 3rd floor of the building.
When taking a train, foreigners may confuse as there are no absolute direction to indicate train destination.
For example, we do not say west/east-bound or north/south-bound, instead we use Nobori(上り) or Kudari(下り) to indicate direction.
Nobori means up stream and it means up stream (come close) to Tokyo station. The center of all Japanese train stations is Tokyo station because Tokyo station is just next to Imperial palace. So it's the same thing to come close to the Imperial palace.
Kudari is opposite, away from Tokyo station.
