I keep wanting to make a trip down to Van to Headphone Bar to try out some TOTL cans but am mostly stuck with Amazon. Great for returns but not so much selection.

Oh you definitely should, they just restocked recently. I dropped by last week to try the new ATH-TWX9 and some audeze cans (MM-500, LCD-X). Awesome place, great owner.

Cool to hear. My wife and I are hoping to do a getaway trip to Vancouver in the spring or early summer this will be a big focus for me :)

If you don't mind driving, there is another place in North Van called Hi-fi headphones. They have limited demo stocks (Beyer, Audeze and Abyss) but it's also worth taking a look.

Thanks. Just saw them on google when I was trying to find the name of Headphone Bar. Will definitely check them out too. I like to make the trips there as worthwhile as possible since it's about a 3.5 hr drive and we only get down there once a year or so. I plan to buy an "end game" headphone at some point but so far haven't heard anything past my 6XX and am very curious to see where the diminishing returns kick in for myself.

Same situation. I'm only an hour out of Vancouver, but I never go into the city, but I want to go to the headphone bar eventually
