    New vinyl of a classic AC/DC album
    Tim S.

    I have stopped by a few times and purchased a some records. Highly recommend. Nice to support local business doing it the right way. Quick Summary - Small record store with a nice variety of records - Friendly service - New and used records for sale - Respectable selection - New records are well organized (genre, artist, etc..) - Used records just in alphabetical order - Nice diversity of records for sell here (jazz, hard rock, rock, etc.) - Fair prices on new records and some real bargains on the used ones - Cash and plastic accepted - Parking is street or in the lot across from the store (on corner of Burke and Brookstown) I'm old enough to remember record stores being on every corner. You could buy records at Wal-Mart or at the neighborhood record store. Record stores use to be the go to place to buy concert tickets as well (before the Internet). In recent years records and record stores were nothing but a novelty. Well, looks like they are making a comeback, to some degree. I love the convenience and quality of digital music options, whether purchasing it or streaming service. That said, there is something about records and record cover art work that draws me back. I love collecting records and have so for years. It is nice to have a record store like Underdog Records close by to purchase records from or just browse their collection. Highly recommend this place.

    So the local CD / vinyl store is going the way of the Dodo, eh?!? Not if Winston's Earshot has…read moreanything to do with it. Formerly the Record Exchange, they shut down for remodeling, the interior is now cool blue that extends up to the ceiling, making the place seem airier; is nice. They still stock a passel of used CDs, DVDs, and some vinyl. Prices are a wee bit higher than some outlets, but it's local! I picked up the the latest Los Lobos, "Tin Can Trust." "Burn It Down" with Susan Tedesci on backing vocals is just what one loves about David Hidalgo and co., but I digress. A chat with the manager promised more stock in soon, so come on back and support a local vendor.

    This is a brilliant little record shop…read more I recently got a record player and I'm looking to expand my record collection. There were lots of great record shops in Charlotte with new and old vinyls and I was a bit worried I wouldn't be able to find anything like it here in Winston. I didn't want to shop at a chain store for records, even if they carried them, so I trusted yelp and found earshot! I hate the shopping center this place is in because it's so crowded during the day, but that doesn't really matter. I didn't expect it to be so close to my work, but it's close enough that I can make it there on my lunch break and be back within the hour. This is a good and bad thing. Good, because I now have an awesome record store with a great selection and helpful staff that's super close to me! Bad, because I will probably end up spending all my money here! I picked up an Explosions in the Sky album and In the Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. I am beyond stoked to listen to them, and they seemed to be in superb condition when I examined them. I had to stop myself from buying Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins because I'd already spent enough! They sell more than just records, but if you're a vinyl fiend like me, stepping into this shop is like stepping into the gates of heaven. As another reviewer said, they are a bit more expensive than amazon. This is true, but to me, when you add in shipping costs and the time you have to wait for your vinyl to be mailed, the extra few bucks is worth it. There's something magical about going to a record store, picking up some vinyls and being able to listen to them in the same day. Plus, buying vinyls on amazon doesn't help keep these awesome shops (mostly family owned) in business! The difference in cost compared to amazon is only $2-$5 if that.

    I enjoy visiting this jam-packed store and perusing the assortment of books, magazines, stationery,…read moreplanners, calendars, cards, toys and gifts. Having a Starbucks on premises is a nice touch. As other Yelpers have noted, unfortunately this location has felt it necessary to add numerical code locks to the restrooms. I understand the reasoning behind it, but the logistics of needing to use the restroom at the back of the store then needing to traverse to the front of the store to get the code, and back again, is asking a lot and will cause my visits to be cut short.

    I have always enjoyed a nice leisurely stroll around Barnes & Noble, hunting for interesting books…read more I am a voracious reader. I have been a member for years now. The discount and earned rewards are worth the cost of membership. I could spend all day there, perusing the various things that interest me. I am not happy with their change to adding a code to get into the bathroom. I realize they had issues with homeless people misusing the bathroom, but as a rectal cancer survivor, I don't have the time to hunt for an employee to get the code. I was literally seconds away from a bowel accident today, then had to turn around and find an employee. I was lucky, there was a guy shelving books close to the bathrooms. What if he hadn't been there, though? If I had to walk to the customer service desk or the register to get the code, I would have definitely had an accident. My suggestion to anybody that has bathroom issues, or small children, ask for the code as soon as you walk in the door. That way, you don't have to hunt for an employee and risk accidents. That is what I will be doing from now on.
