1122hs-insetAnyone who loved ListenUp in downtown Colorado Springs for its quality, value and excellent customer service will rejoice at the news that as of this weekend, there’s even more to love: The shop known for providing the best sight and sound technology in the area has doubled in size by moving into it’s new location on Woodmen Road, one block east of Interstate 25.

“It is our largest store now,” says branch manager David Huddleston, who explains that ListenUp has been in business in Colorado for 38 years and in the Springs for more than 20. “It’s very exciting. Being able to expose everybody in Colorado Springs to the best in technology, now with even more services to offer, we feel privileged to be able to do that.”

Instead of buying electronics from a cold showroom floor, where they’re hard sold by an inexperienced salesperson, ListenUp is committed to offering selection, value, expertise and incredible hands-on experiences, allowing people to see, hear and compare almost any product in the store. Customers can test run more than 20 sets of headphones, gawk at walls of dozens of flat-screen televisions or visit the store’s six demonstration rooms.

“You can look at technology in a real world, home-like environment,” says Huddleston of the demo rooms, which include fully furnished rooms focused on hi-fi audio experiences, high definition video comparisons and even video game play.
