Official Gear Tours

Hello everyone! Demo Tours will be placed here under their own categories. These tours will be limited to 5-10 people at a time with a maximum of 3 days of having the item(this may change as necessary and up to Headphones.com discretion). We will request a deposit fee for shipping labels that everyone will pay upfront if they are selected for the tour. This fee will go towards the shipping cost and everyone will pay the same amount, even if you can hand the item off to the next person. This way it stays fair and shipping won’t have to be worried about. Labels will be sent to the person via email or direct message on the forum.
