The Good Stuff
Expert guidance
Staff help narrow down complex choices and explain sound differences without the sales pressure mentioned in several reviews.
Wide selection
The shop carries enough headphones, IEMs and wider audio equipment to let shoppers compare several models rather than choosing from a single option.
Vinyl support
First-time vinyl buyers found the staff knowledgeable and friendly, making the shop approachable for newcomers to turntables and records.
Custom refit
A customer whose custom-IEM mould did not fit said the store took it back and redid it.
Early delivery
One Marantz Stereo 70s order arrived a week earlier than expected.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check seals. Before paying for an IEM, inspect the unit if the box is not factory sealed or shrink-wrapped.
Allow time. Set aside several hours if you want to compare properly; one visitor spent about 3.5 hours asking questions and trying equipment.
Test first. Ask to try multiple headphones or IEMs before choosing; comparing sound and comfort is a central part of the in-store experience.
Use parking. For driving, look for RTA parking behind the business towers, one level down by the escalator to the main level.
Confirm replies. If you are arranging a purchase remotely, confirm that WhatsApp queries are being answered before relying on that channel.

The Bottom Line
Head is a home audio shop in Dubai Internet City aimed at both curious beginners and serious audiophiles. The main draw is the chance to listen before buying: reviews describe extensive headphone and IEM comparisons, along with demonstrations of systems such as the Sennheiser HE-1. Vinyl shoppers and first-time turntable buyers also report patient, knowledgeable help.
The range goes beyond personal audio. Customers mention the ZMF Atrium Black & White Ebony, HDB 630, Moondrop IEMs, Cayin equipment, DAPs and custom in-ear monitors. One custom-IEM customer had an ill-fitting mould redone, while another ordered ear impressions and custom units through the shop.
Orders can arrive ahead of expectation, although delivery depends on the third-party courier in at least one account. Plan to spend time here rather than making a rushed purchase; one visitor stayed around three and a half hours. If an IEM box is not factory sealed, inspect the product before paying.
A customer found earwax on the attached tips of a Starfield 2 and considered the unsealed packaging a warning sign. Remote communication is another weak spot: one review reports unanswered WhatsApp messages and phone calls. Drivers can use the RTA parking mentioned behind the business towers.
