ear-tips at the Nim City shopping plaza has a pretty good selection including some very highend/highpriced models. They carry Sennheiser, Grado, Beyerdyanmic, Stax, AKG, etc and let you take your time auditioning them. https://www.facebook.com/EartipsChiangmai

Try Mahajak in Chiang Mai business park. Last time I was there they have some serious head phones JBL Denon etc..

I did price those out before but don't remember the exact numbers. If memory serves, phones such as the Sennheiser HD650 and HD800 were perhaps 10% more expensive than what they sell for at Amazon.com. That, however, was without trying to bargain for a better price. For what it's worth (probably not much), I wound up selecting the Philips Fidelio X1 headphones over the Sennheisers.

At the link below are Sennheiser prices from a shop in Bangkok that I think is a partner business to ear-tips of Chiang Mai. Most likely you would be able to get the same prices at ear-tips. As for the comparison to US prices, the listing below is showing Sennheiser HD650's at 14,000 baht (US$447); Amazon.com in the US is selling the same headphones for $499.95.

Just noticed - and thought of this thread - in Airport Plaza on 3rd floor in the foyer bit near the loos (down a bit from True same side almost at the end of the wing) there is a kiosk shop that only sells quality headphones - many kinds - maybe worth a look (they say they are all real, not fake).

That kiosk is operated by the ear-tips shop at Nim City. Often they will suggest to customers that they go to the Nim City shop to demo the headphones.

Neo also has some good headphones in stock too but not nearly as wide of a selection.

I always get my earphones from this place in Bangkok called "Munkong Gadget" .. they do postal orders to Chiang Mai as well.

Website: http://www.munkonggadget.com/?lang=th (a bit tacky and in Thai, but you can do a quick search on the left hand side bar based on brands)

I am a little bit douchy with earphones but Munkong stocks most of the earphones you can possibly think of getting in the world although sometimes you have to do back orders.

Here are the Sennheiser's (and prices)

Sennheiser all the way. For buds, have a pair of CX215s (from IT City I think, though could have been Apple) at Airport Plaza. Excellent, plenty of low low bottom end, though not to the colouration of the much ballyhooed CX300s, and still going strong after two years -- 1700 baht ish. Also have a pair of monitor phones from the 1990s by Sennheiser that are still going strong, albeit with deteriorated foam pads.

If your going for Bluetooth headphones, make sure both your music device and headphones support AptX. The standard A2DP isn't that crash-hot fidelity wise.
