I think we all have one secret (or not so secret) geek obsession. I personally have many, but for the sake of maintaining my cool points I'll only speak to one of them right now...audio gear. To make it even more dork-tastic, I have a particular fetish for high end headphones and related equipment...click here to see just how bad it's gotten.
Luckily Japan, no doubt spurred on by it's cramped living arrangements, seems to share my love of headphones. And they do it with style.
Way back when this site first started out I featured products from Audio Cubes, a site that's legendary in the headphone community for importing esoteric Japanese gear stateside. Now those of you in NYC can enjoy AC Gears, the brick and mortar store they opened just a few months ago in Greenwich Village.
So now if you're craving great sound while crammed into a tiny NYU dorm room, you can join your audio-nerd brethren in Japanese gadget bliss without having to wait for shipping.
