Williamsburg · New York City
Earwax Records
Earwax's current Williamsburg shop is at 339 Bedford Avenue, with new and used vinyl and vintage audio equipment.
Why it is worth visiting
Earwax remains a Williamsburg vinyl stop, but the address in an older guide may be wrong. The current shop is at 339 Bedford Avenue, rather than its former North 9th Street location. Its official profile marks 35 years in 2026 and continues to show new and used records alongside vintage audio equipment. That combination suits a visit where the playback system is part of the conversation as well as the records. It also changes the walking route: the shop now fits the southern Bedford and Borinquen area more naturally than a plan built around the old storefront. Pair it with Face Records when Japanese pressings are of interest, or continue toward Superior Elevation on Grand for another vinyl selection.
What you will find
New and used vinyl, collectible records and vintage audio equipment. Use current official posts for stock and visiting updates.
Genre strengths: Hip-Hop, Indie, Rock, Soul
Getting there
339 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg. Do not use 167 North 9th Street from older listings.
Local tips
Build the route around the current Bedford address. Face Records on Borinquen Place is a useful nearby contrast, particularly for Japanese records.
