Best place to get SENNHEISER HD280s in Canada?

I've decided to get these headphones:
http://www.pssl.com/bitemdetail.tpl...002121415104974

They have them at PSSL for $99 US, does anyone know anywhere cheaper? Preferabaly, i'd like to get them from within canada, because i usually end up getting raped in customs charges at the border.

LastI checked, they aren't officially sold in Canada. Bay-Bloor radio here in Toronto - the best store for high-end headphones - would have had to special order them for me.

I would suggest finding somebody going to the states, so you can have them delivered to their hotel.

I believe they have them in stock @ Future Shop,,, and that it's probably the best deal around as well.

No future shop doesnt have these but i know for sure Tom lee has them for $159.

Tom Lee? who's that and how do i get ahold of him? or is it a store? hopefully located somewhere near the west coast, i don't want to pay too much shipping. and i want to pay online, with credit card or paypal, not send a cheque through the mail and wait for it to clear.

and when you say $159 you mean in CAD $ right?

future shop doesn't have em, PSSL won't ship to CAD (at least not without a lot of hassle), and i don't know any other online shops i trust.

i got these headphones a couple months back. god they are still rocking my world. you WILL enjoy them! but i got them online for $108 US. and that includes shipping and everything.

i hope you can find them for cheaper, but i doubt it, so i would say save yourself the effort and just order them online. delivery was about a week.

i would tell you where i got them from, but i forgot and i can't look it up cuz i'm on holiday. i doubt you'll still be looking, but if you care enough pm in about 2 and a half weeks and i'll be able to get the info for you. sorry i can't be of any more help.

thanks pat. I don't know where to get em though, i've only heard of one good reputable store that carries this stuff, and that is PSSL (www.pssl.com) and they won't accept international credit cards.

i'd prefer a canadian distributor, but i would settle for some place i can order online and not have to wait for my check to cross the border and get verified.

JohnSmith: PM me. I just got this pair and I don't really fancy them. Got them for CAD $ 135 + taxes. They are still in original packaging, took them out to test that's all. Total usage : less than 15 mins.

See whichever way you like, pm me a price and I'll ship it express to you. It should reach you in 4-5 days time.

Also, I got a hardly used [about 4-5 hours in total] Sony MDR-V700 headphones in original box for sale. Anyone looking for a hardly used headphones, pm me or email me at [email protected]

I'll save you some taxes by my stealthy methods

Cheers,
JKX

Newegg.com does not ship internationally. At this time we only ship within the United States and Puerto Rico
