Hi there, im new to Head-fi.

I'm a student from Canada, currently on a trip to NYC, and I want to buy the Audio technica AD700 (open cans) headphones, since my hometown doesn't have any hi-fi stores (small city). I will leave US on the 2nd, so I must act quickly!!! I went to J&R computer world on park row today, but they said the cans were out of stock and it'll take them 2-3 weeks to restock, time which I don't have

. Will any of you experienced audiophiles and headphone lovers suggest me some other places to look for these cans? Thanks a lot guys!!

You might wanna try B&H Photo Video (they're closed on Saturdays), other than that, try walking into those random digital camera places, but get ready to haggle. They always list everything high with the assumption that you're going to try and bargin with them.

thanks for your respose roker, i checked the B&H website, and they do have audio technica cans, but not the model (AD700) im looking for

any "digital camera places" in specific that would have a chance of carrying them? thanks anyway

thanks wavoman, on AC Gear's website, it says that AD700 is online only though.

I'm hoping to get them while im in NYC, instead of ordering them online when im back in Canada...

but thanks for your info anyway

Oh yeah, I forgot about AC gears ... it's probably because the brick and mortar store sucks.

I have no specific places as I was looking for Sennheisers when I did the random tour. They're all around and there's a huge one in Times Square (over by the M&M store. But like I said, I wasn't looking for AT headphones, but I did notice them being sold at a few places.

I may be wrong, but I swear I saw a set in Turntable Lab when I was in NYC around the 15th.

couldn't hurt to give them a call
