I did the exact thing you want to do with my Final A4000 in Paris, the shop staff was very nice and let me try anything and everything. I made a post about it in r/headphones and it was a very informative experience. The skateboard really shouldn't be an issue, if you have a backpack you can clip it to vertically you'll have a much easier time.

I recommend you go by feel and try the brands you like first, it establishes a "baseline"/horizon of expectations that can be validated or shattered by other experiences afterwards

I went through your post, that's so nice! May I ask which store it was, please? I want to do something like this but a bit scared as I won't be making any purchase anytime soon.

I will remember your tip about not trying the top ones at the start!
