Even though the headphones I was looking for were not in stock, the manager was super nice and helped with everything he could. He even recommended other shops shich could've carried that model. If I'm ever in Vancouver again in need of headphones, I'm definitely coming back to this place.

I've only dealt with the owner, but he is very knowledgeable and provides great service. Had some problems with a pair of headphones, he was able to fix them on the spot. Very large selection of stuff you can't find anywhere else at competitive prices (plus you can listen to everything there). Th...

Ordered a pair of headphones online. They arrived fast and had a hand written thank you. The headphones are great and I was happy to support a local store. Their selection is fantastic and the prices are as fair as you can get. Highly recommended!

The second was in store earlier this year and it was great service -- talked about the pros and cons of the wireless earbuds I was looking at. I thought there was a problem with the buds, and spoke to the ...

An excellent little store. I happened upon it by accident and ended up buying a pair of in-ears (RHA MA750i) based on an in-store recommendation. The owner (I think?) asked me a few questions about current headset, etc., and made a great recommendation. What I really liked was that you can actually ...

Honestly had a really good experience. The man who helped me (the owner I assume?) was super informative, attentative, and helped me choose a really good set of headphones. Really above and beyond that made the whole process a lot more approachable. Plus I got to try out a bunch of incredibly HiF...

I've been shopping here for years and have nothing but good things to say about Travis and Headphone Bar. I know that when I go I'll walk out with exactly what I need and nothing more. It's a huge plus to be able to demo gear for yourself before buying as it's easy to get lost in the maze of diffe...

Came from Vancouver Island. Took a ferry and drove hours just so I could try on several different models. Had no idea what I really wanted. Spent nearly an hour there and picked up my AudioQuest Nighthawk headphones which I'd never heard of until I tried them on there and was amazed. Spend hundreds ...

I was looking for a replacement for my old Shure E4 IEMs and started looking for local dealers. The Headphone Bar was easy to get to and seemed to have a more complete stock of Shure products, in particular the Shure SE425.

Headphones and audio equipment is my absolute passion in life. I have bought stuff from this store in the past because they sell goods from brands such as Audeze and Focal that the big box stores like Best Buy dont. A local business well worth supporting.

As far as I know, this is the only store of its type in all of Greater Vancouver. If you are into the Hi-fi headphone or earphone scene, this is the place to go in Vancouver. Travis is very helpful and knowledgeable. Although the retail store is not open, my recollection is that it was clean and wel...

They sent me a new pair instead of the demo since they tested it first instead of shipping immediately. I was happy...

Biggest selection of Headphones and in ear monitors. Travis the owner is a great and honest person to deal with. He will give you his recommendations on what to try. One can spend hours here listening to cans. Location is much bigger here on Main St so more products. Parking can be tricky.

Great prices, excellent selection and no snobbiness whatsoever. If you're serious about listening to great music then check out Headphone Bar. And yes, the earbuds that came with your phone sound like two cans tied together with a string, it's time for an upgrade.

Great store with a wide range of options, from around $60 to well into the thousands.

The owner is very knowledgeable, and goes through the effort of sanitising ear buds etc so everyone can test them out to find their perfect choice.

The new location is pretty sweet, too!
