Looking for a place in Dublin to test headphones

Simon_K

I'm planning to buy Audio Technica ATH a900x but I'd like to see if there's anything comparable for less (than 160 euros).

Are there any shops/retailers in Dublin that provide headphones for testing?

I've been to Elverys but they only have Sennheisers and Beats.

Last time I checked Arnotts had a wide range of headphones you could plug into your player.

I think they only had on-ear and over-ear headphones to try and not in-ear (for hygiene I suppose).

Come to think of it though, they were mainly Sennheiser and Beats if I remember correctly, so might not be much better than Elverys. Maybe give Arnotts a call?

Pc world in Jervis shopping centre have a good range to test

Well what I meant by Elverys was Arnotts. PC World in Jervis has a good selection of lower price range headphones. I'm looking for a shop with reference headphones, e.g. ATH a900x and AKG K550...

i dont think we have a shop that does high end headphones to be honest. i think we will get around to organising a meet up some day, and try each others equipment. woah....that looks dodgy when typed out like that:D

Problem solved :P . Yeah, there is very little available to try sadly. Makes purchasing a leap of faith.
