Headphones, speakers and repairs

Headphones you can hear before you buy

How we work

  • Listen first

    Every pair in the catalog is on the listening bar. Bring your phone and your own playlist.

  • Two-year warranty

    On everything we sell. Warranty repairs happen on our bench, not in a box mailed to a factory.

  • Ships in 1–2 days

    Free shipping in the US over $100. Returns within 30 days if the box is complete.

  • Plain answers in the chat

    Ask which pair suits your commute or your desk and get a short answer with the reason.

A shop with a workbench

Line Level is three people: two who sell and one who fixes. We started in 2017 as a repair bench, then began selling the headphones we saw come back the least. The list is short on purpose. If a model keeps coming in with the same fault, it leaves the shelf.

From customers

  • “New pads and a new cable for my eight-year-old headphones, for less than half the price of a new pair. They sound like the day I bought them.”

    Daniel K.

  • “I came in for earbuds and left with a cheaper pair than I planned, because they told me I didn’t need the expensive one.”

    Sofia M.

Questions we get a lot

Can I try headphones before I buy?

Yes. Everything we stock is out on the listening bar, and you can take as long as you like. Earbud tips are swapped after every try.

Do you repair headphones bought elsewhere?

Usually, yes. Describe the problem in the chat and we’ll tell you whether parts are available before you make the trip.

Wired or wireless?

Wireless for commuting and calls. Wired if you mostly listen at a desk and don’t want one more thing to charge. Not sure? Ask in the chat.

What does the warranty cover?

Manufacturing faults for two years: a dead driver, a cracked hinge, a battery that won’t charge. Drops and water aren’t covered, but we can usually fix them at our regular repair prices.
