“This year we have introduced an exciting and long awaited addition known as ‘HEADZONES’ which will feature a large range of Headphones and accessories from around the world. In fact this new feature is proving to be so popular that we’re already having to consider increasing the space we first allocated. This along with additional features that put ‘MUSIC’ at the heart of everything we do.” – Chester Group

Headphone fans are being spoiled this September

HiFiHeadphones.co.uk will also be attending with a few bits of interesting gear and we will also be selling products on behalf of some of the brands who will be there. Because we have a special offer available for people attending the Head-fi meet in Cambridge (the weekend before), we will be extending this offer for people visiting our stand in the ‘HEADZONES’ area!

Head-Fi is widely seen as the best forum to discuss everything headphone and earphone related. The American contingent have been holding large meet ups for years now, forum members try out each others equipment and discover what all the fuss is about without spending thousands on an item they have no way to demo. Although there have been a few small events in the UK it looks like the largest to date will take place this September in Cambridge on the 15th of September.

Although there have been a few small events in the UK it looks like the largest to date will take place this September in Cambridge.

Last years head-fi meet in London was so successful many people expressed an interest in attending one this year, one forum member decided to take things into his own hands. With the help of other members and several Audio companies the UK meet up has been organised for Saturday 15th of September in Bar Hill Village hall in Cambridgeshire.

Doors are open at 10:00am with a trully incredible raffle draw taking place at 4pm, the meet will then finish at 5pm. The list of equipment on show is too huge to place here – Visit the Thread on Head-fi to get you excited.

Although HiFiHeadphones.co.uk cannot attend due to prior commitments, as a head-fi sponsor we have donated some raffle prizes and we will be running a special discount offer through the website for those who attend the meet up. We will run this for two weeks so that anyone attending either the Head-fi meet up or National Audio Show ’12 has the chance to use it.
