btw, buying this sorta stuff in canada sucks really badly
prices are jacked up like .....way up
and shipping/customs duty/brokerage fees/tax really sucks if you try to get stuff shipped in from a states retailer
ncix.com might have some stuff youre interested in at okay prices
but ....the secret is ....use amazon.com, and get relatives or friends in the states to send/bring it to you
otherwise its crap prices from local retailers
but i guess theres always ebay
check out head-fi.org for info treasure pot, great community, and buy/sell
no full-sized cans, because i dont believe in their inherent impracticality
especially at this price point
though supposedly, the hd280pro are supposed to be good phones for the price
