It seems that most models are a lot cheaper on Amazon than local stores, I am confused about why and that’s a reason I cannot believe amazon. Also I noticed that someone bought a “made in China” AKG 271 from amazon. But on the other side, nobody wish to pay more if there’s a cheaper one(unless they are so rich and dont know where to spend their $$). So, can all of you give me some suggestions about where to buy headphones – local or amazon?
Well… dunno about Amazon - but be wary of ebay… they’re all the fkn same anyway.
Only be wary of it if its too good (too cheap) to be true. Its good advice.
Thomann… Musicstore… Audiomidi (in america) - all trustworthy.

I’ve bought sony bud heaphones from ebay in past - fakes. Wires in jack broke 2nd time I put 'em in my Ipod. Guy gave me an instant refund… didnt want a return.
Looks the same. Is cheaper - but its sh!t

many things online are cheaper than in stores. i would not think that it’s of lesser quality just cause you got it through amazon. never had a problem with amazon myself. i would shop around though… even online!
any recs for local store in Canada?
Do a search for your headphones on canada only sites on google man
Job done.
Are the headphones coming from Amazon or a third party seller? I buy stuff from Amazon all the time and I’ve never had a problem. Their customer service is good about returning things if needed.
The third party sellers I’ve bought from on Amazon have been good as well.

Cause amazon buy high quantities of headphones from their supplier so they can sell for less(demand). Kind of like Walmart. Most stuff is made in China,India(Asia) cheap labor = cheap prices for you.
:hehe:
Amazon have loads of private sellers, do they not?
Its not kindle headphones, is it?
I’ve bought a sh!tload of stuff from amazon over the years & have never bought a single thing from “Mr.Amazon”.
I’ve never had any problems with the 3rd parties that sell on amazon either.
