    I would like to purchase some headphones online (am currently undecided on model) but will be going with either Sennheisher or AKG brand. The only Irish site I could find stocking Sennheiser is komplett.ie, but the €12 delivery charge is putting me off.

    Elara don't seem to stock Sennheiser. Anyone know of any other Irish/UK sites which offer more competitive price & delivery charges than komplett?

    Some models which I am looking at in particular are:
    AKG K 26 P
    Sennheiser HD 205

    Many thanks
    jAH

    www.thomann.de

    Or call Music Technology on the quays in Dublin. They will match any prices on Thomann and you can just pick up you gear at the place itself...

    I just got myself a pair of Sennheiser HD280 Pros for Christmas from http://www.proaudiomart.com/ and highly recommend the place. Because they are an authorized Sennheiser dealer, they cannot advertise a price below Sennheiser's official RRP, but if you send them a link to any auction or competing online shop, they will match the price. I got my HD280 Pro for $106.97 including shipping, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than the best deal I found in Europe. Prices for Sennheiser headphones seem to be about 50% cheaper in the US across most of the product range.

    The irony is that those cans were actually made in Ireland, shipped to the US and then sent back to me... and were cheaper than if I had just bought them here :).

    Mind you, I did have to pay an import duty but it was only around 10€ so in I still saved a lot of cash.

    Cantec Compustores sell decent brand called Skullcandy: bought the Noise-Cancelling model; very decent. Has some great redundancy features like a completely removable lead (broke a pair that way..) 99e.
