In my case, rather than opting for this instead of a higher-priced option (thus saving me $$$), the HF-2 offering is the occasion for me to make a purchase of another set of phones that wasn't previously anywhere on my radar (yep, the spontaneous generation of a purchase radar blip) - thus knocking my wallet down a notch unlooked-for.

OK, we're down to 10 days 'till CanJam. Let's keep those hunches and speculations crankin' out as juicy rumors (which are just as good as news - until reality hits at CanJam).

Shamelessly unbridled HF-2 speculation contribution:
Carbon nanotube conductors. Now, how used in the HF-2? Used in just the voice coil windings, -OR- used in the headphone cable as well? I got it!!! Used through the headband to enable the cable on this special edition phone to be single-entry without introducing ANY loss or imbalance of audio signal or power level between the two cups.
