Considering all the threads devoted to this or that headphone, I thought I'd give you guys a heads up on an event where you should be able to listen and compare just about any full sized or IEM you might be thinking about buying.
For the fifth year, the Headfi community is holding it's International Meet. This year it's taking place at the O'Hare Hyatt in Chicago June 5th-6th.
If you aren't familiar with Headfi, it's an online community of headphone crazies from all over the world. One of the best things about our not so little group (last time I looked, around 60k)are the "meets". At these events many of us bring our gear for anyone to listen and sample the latest gear.
The International Meet brings folks from all over the world (volcano's permitting) and a large number of headphone and headphone related product manufacturers together for a weekend of listening.
So, if you'd like to spend some time listening to a pair of headphones that you're considering purchasing or want to hear what a $20k+ headphone set up sounds like. Come and join us.
Here's a link to the particulars for this year;
