Chicago - at ohare ord... best place to buy a cheap set of headphones over ear style?

topic says all what is the best place to buy without getting ripped off? its also hard to find traditional over ear types anym

At the "base" of terminal 2, closer to the Terminal 1 bridge (across from the big sushi place) is an electronics/phone accessory store. I haven't been in there in awhile, but I believe it has a good selection of cell phone/ipod paraphenelia.

I agree with fastair. Never actually bought anything there, but seems to have a good selection of stuff.

I actually on my last trip forget headphones, and as usual, left from CVG T2. With almost nothing there, thought i was going to be SOL, but then realized they put one of those Best Buy express (or whatever they call them) machines there. I never understood why they had those things there - but all of a sudden - made so much sense.

Don't actually know if it was called "express", but one of those machines - I've seen them in places like Macy's, SFO has them too, etc. where its just a machine that takes credit cards and has things like iPod's (can't remember what kinds) and other MP3 players (don't remember what kind...nor know who buys those on a whim like that) and accessories (headphones, adapters, splitters, iPod power cords, etc.). Not sure what is in ATL.

There were quite a choice of headphones, ranging from $15 to well over $150 for sure. I think there may have been a Bose pair (but didn't really pay attention - I bought a pair of $30 ones) - but some in-ear, sport-style over-the-ear, Dr. Dre's, Apple with mic/volume control - etc. I bought a pair of $30 in-ear SkullCandy pair.

Cheap - Try the news stands. They will be crappy, but will work, at least for a while. I've bought them there before, though I picked up the last one, apparently they sell a lot of them.
