My shopping experience at Ear Wax was a very pleasant one last weekend. Their staff was accommodating and quite friendly.

I was really looking forward to this store because it got such high reviews, but it really wasn’t anything special. The used selection was pretty mediocre and what they did have was over priced and run of the mill. The store also had a decent selection of new vinyl, so if that’s your bag, then this place may be for you. If you’re a long time collector looking for a store that has a lot of hidden gems, then this is a place you can skip.

How could the oldest record store in Brooklyn but only few reviews? I found the place by chance read a rather obscure street board sign. But what a pleasant surprise, the store has very very nice selection of new items(mostly recent and new releases or reissues) but extremely well curated. There are some interesting progressive rock items among the used vinyls; limited compare to other similar stores but nice selection as well. Definitely worth visiting

Tiny shop next to Midoriya that I had no idea existed nor any plans to visit, but of course had to drop in. Dig the selection and friendly staff, and sidewalk signs insisting they’ll be sticking around.

The smallest version of Earwax yet, but still nice to have around. I wasn’t looking for Vampire Weekend or balloons to fall from the ceiling when I entered(sorry Michael S… I mean, whatever), just some browsing. 25% off new cds made it easy. Nice employee, too! Lots of et ceteras, too…

New York record shops often tend to cater to assorted niche scenes, but Earwax manages to have a very eclectic selection of new vinyl for such a small shop. You’re also more likely to find lesser known and obscure stuff than at a shop like Rough Trade. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. I don’t always find what I was specifically looking for, but I do always find something I’ve been meaning to pick up. They also have a nice collection of vintage audio gear at really reasonable prices.

Really love reading the record reviews written by the staff members who work on the weekends. Great little store for discovering new esoteric records. Ch ch check it out.

Great record store! My music loving friend pointed out that their stuff is mostly new, and he is correct, but damn do they have an eclectic selection that in sum is really fantastic. If you are wanting dusty old vinyl that nobody has pulled from the sleeve in years this is not your place. But it is still worth browsing. Why you ask? Because these people who run this place know what they are talking about. Their staff picks are outstanding and you are guaranteed to find something new that you have never heard that will be amazing. Like I did. In fact, just about everything in this store is hand-selected which makes up for the fact that it isn’t a very big store. This is a quality over quantity sort of a place. They also sell sound equipment if you are looking for the right kind of machine to drop that beat or just listen to music on.

In a store this small, I expect some sort of acknowledgment that I walked in, but whatever. Aside from that, the selection is pretty small and almost everything I’m interested in was priced more than Rough Trade NYC down the road or Amazon. The only reason I could think of to visit here is in the hope’s that they have SOMETHING you’re looking for that’s a dollar or two less than somewhere else. They did have all 3 Vampire Weekend albums for $ 15.99, which is a good price, so I suppose there are some deals to be found. If I was searching for something specific, I’d likely come back to price check, but I won’t be back to just browse.

This is one of those great store where you can either browse or ask the staff for a recommendation. They don’t hamper you while you look and are friendly. Also the sales people don’t have to say caned phrases like most corporate stores
