I bought my Audio Technicas at audiocubes.com, and that sounds like the best place to buy Audio-Technica headphones.

Based on price and reliability, what are some good sites (or brick and mortar stores) to buy new headphones from other brands?

For certain A-T headphones, pricejapan.com is cheaper.

I try to purchase new items from Sponsors of Head-Fi as often as possible.

Some others can be found in the constant changing ad banner located @ top right corner of Head-Fi.

Amazon is pretty good. I think B&H Photo sells some nice headphones but they don't have the best prices. If your town has a local music shop it can be a good place to try out some headphones (although it definitely varies so you might have one that only carries Bose or something).

Price-wise, online. There are numerous e-tailers in the US that sell headphones for very reasonable prices.

However, in-store, you get to try before you buy. Unfortunately, for high-end audio equipment at, say Guitar Center in the US, you can't return anything.

I'd personally try in-store and buy online.

audiocubes - a sponsor is good.

Also as a prior poster said - pricejapan.

Honestly though if I were buying AT headphones I would buy from another head-fier-- since I live in the States and some of the A-T phones are rare in the states-- this way I do not wait as long or pay the extra price of Japan-US shipping.

The Alessandro web-site is a fun place to order from!

If you don't mind buying second hand then the For Sales forums are excellent. Of course, there won't be what you want available all the time.

TTVJ is my personal favorite. When you talk to Todd, you really feel like you're speaking with someone who cares about your purchase - mostly that you get it right the first time. He's very friendly and honest; he won't recommend you buy something just because it costs more than a similar product. It also doesn't hurt that his prices, especially for Grado's, are great, and the fact that he's a site sponsor.

TTVJ, amazon, headroom (although the prices aren't superb)

I have had good experiences with EIFL, an Audiocubes competitor.

I bought my RS-1 and K701 with Todd at TTVJ. Awesome store. Highly recommended ...

I buy a lot of my stuff from Amazon since I have Amazon Prime. They have an alright selection of AKG, Sennheiser, Shure, and Koss.
