I ventured into the world of 'better' headphones this week with the purchase of a set of GRADO SR - 60s for £80.00. A reasonable price here in the UK, given that some vendors (including online ones) have them at £109.00.
I've just seen through the HeadFi link that these can be purchased new in the USA for $69.00, (although 'licensing arrangements' with GRADO mean they cannot be sold to the UK).
I am accustomed to us having to pay more for things, even dollar to pound price matching but this does seem excessive. Where does all the extra profit from the UK sales go? Is it the retailer? Is it tax?
Best Wishes
