I live in canada and was wondering if anyone knows some sites that are either in canada or have cheap shipping? Right now i'm looking at www.tomleemusic.com but I would like to know if there are any other good ones.

any comments appreciated

Well, I have dealt with www.headphone.com and www.earphonesolutions.com. All about $20 shipping, and they are nice enough to help you avoid customs and tax.

You can also try ebay.

Well im looking for regular headphones so that counts out earphonesolutions and im only looking to spend under $60 so it just doesn't make sense to me to pay 20 shipping.

I think i want the akg k26p, any suggestions for that

I got my K26P from www.tomleemusic.com too, and was pretty smooth, took almost 2 weeks though. Anyway, there’s Carbon Computing, in Kitchener, they have a decent selection of headphones, and Bay Bloor Radio and Steve's Music in Toronto.

Don't forget CPUsed in TO as well.

A4Audio.com they do grados in USD, shipping within CAD is around USD10, but you gotta mail them about it....otherwise, I guess they will charge whatever shipping that comes out when you check out. Almost bought a 325i there...if I had not bought the MS-2i

they have the best price on Grados imho.

There is also:

http://www.minidisc-canada.com (for Sennheiser cans, best price in Canada IMHO)

http://www.audioshop.on.ca (excellent service for Grado cans but they are charging the Canadian MSRP.)

http://www.takefiveaudio.com (for Beyerdynamic cans and Grado too - They will negotiate).

http://www.a4audio.com (I think they do have the best price for Grado cans).

These are all Canadian operations...

Hope this helps!

It's great, if a little pricey. They have a nice big store and sell Grado/AKG/Sennheiser/Etymotic/Shure/etc and even a few amps [perreaux, grado, simpl] and pro audio gear [m-audio, edirol, etc]. And if you like Macs, they have them as well.

They had the AKG K240S at $159, not bad... I resisted tho

, saving for the DT770

 

[arisen]

Heh, Long&McQuade has a sale on the K240S for $99 CND (2 days, Toronto Bloor St. location only).

 

[m.e.]

i haven't had a chance to check out cpused or steves yet but does anyone know if they carry sr60s and k26p? i know baybloorradio has the sr60 but for $130 i can wait till i go to the states

 

[philodox]

CPUsed carrys the grados... not sure about the K26P though. Give them a call.

Best deal for SR60 is National Sound (on Queen St & Bathurst) for $110. BayBloor Radio I think they sell them for $118 right now. Cpused was more expensive anyway. Never saw K26P in TO.

I hate that place, I went in once and the guy working hovered around, not for help though, I figure he was just there to make sure I didn't steal anything.

edit - what about this site, how badly would fedex rape us with the import fees/taxes?
The same with Audiocubes, I want to get some headphones, but well, I live in Canada, and the Maritimes, and in a crappy small city, so it's no good really.
