*A Hearty Hello From SB*

What’s up, Best in Showroom readers! It’s so great to be back in the saddle and writing for you once again. We have a fantastic lineup this month for all of you audiophiles — so much so that I’ve dubbed this month “Sick Sounds September!” We have reviews on audio solutions from Small Dog veterans, as well as some new faces, but perhaps the biggest news is that we’re now carrying the super-popular Beats by Dr. Dre line of headphones!

We’re also excited to announce that our S. Burlington Service department has gotten a bit of a makeover. Due to an overwhelming increase in repairs over the last two months (about 45%!), we have decided to expand our Service check-in counter. We have more than doubled the space, and we hope that this will help to alleviate backup and serve our customers better. There are more changes in store, but it’s a start! The best part is that we’ll have no downtime — by the time you read this, it will all be finished.

So, after you’ve given these reviews the once-over, come into any of our retail locations to test out some amazing headphones for yourself! **Both our S. Burlington and Manchester locations will be open on Labor Day, Monday, September 3rd.**

As a longtime fan of “**Urbanears**”:http://www.smalldog.com/mfg/?MfrName=Urbanears, I was excessively excited when we got the first “**Zinken**”:http://www.smalldog.com/search?x=0&y=0&search=zinken over-ear models in.

New Urbanears?! Yes, please! At $149.99, these professional-style headphones are ready to leap off the shelves and into the club. As is standard with Urbanears, they come in a vast variety of colors.

So what makes the Zinken so fancy? Well, for one thing, the headphones are equipped with a versatile set of inputs. Need to plug in to an amp? Zinken has a 6.3mm (1/4 inch) output cable. Need to make a dash for the bus to the soundtrack of your iPhone? Zinken has a 3.5mm (1/8 inch) output cable, too.

The Zinken model is particularly solid, with two metal hinges of fair bulk that allow the speakers themselves to swivel and turn freely. The headphones are very well-made, with no ragged seams or jutting plastic. The fit over the ears is tight, so people with glasses and earrings, beware!

They sound good, like you’d expect from a pair of headphones in that price range. Urbanears have a particularly well-developed balance of treble and bass, and the Zinkens are no exception. It’s hard not to dance with these guys on!

Style, color, and sound. Come demo our floor model in “**South Burlington!**”:http://www.smalldog.com/burlington
