Where to audition headphones in NYC ?

J&R has best prices that often FAR better than amazon or ebay. Also largest choice of headphones you can ever see.

I know I should check constantly between bh and jr but I'm having tough time decide just based on user opinions between AKG k701 and Beyer dt990 600 ohm.
Do either bh/jr have floor samples to audition ? [I'm from overseas coming to NYC for a few days early october].

Brookstone carries much of the Beyerdynamic line, check to see if the NYC store has them to demo, they didn't at the store here.

I'm not sure if you can test drive them. Ill try and call them tomorrow and let.you know.

I find it interesting that when I was auditioning headphones I had access to a good number of brands, and I decided on the AKG 701s by a wide margin. Since then, until I have read this thread, it seemed everyone else likes Beyer Senns etc. So do try to listen for yourself it surprised me how many people thought so little of the AKGs, I still think they are great so try them too.
