I will tell you what if I get 151 and you get 199 we can trade as I would like to make the HF-2 with the same serial number as my HF-1s as well.

I'm just hoping for low serial number - I got my order in an hour or two after they were anmounced. Number 53 to match my HF-1 would be nice, but I'm just looking forward to getting a pair. The HF-1 is a good headphone, but I only listened to it long enough to realize I "needed" a RS-1. The HF-2, from my brief listens, seems like it will hold up just fine on its own and not lead to upgraditis.

I don't care if I get #13 as long as it has matching L & R drivers!

HI All,
Here is the shipping schedule for the HF-2.
Starting next week Grado Labs will be shipping me 50 HF-2s a week until all of the orders are fulfilled. I in turn will ship them out immediately to the first 50 on the list and so on. This represents a 1 week delay in the original start up date and less headphones per week than originally anticipated. BUT the ball is rolling and both Grado Labs and TTVJ will do our best to keep your wait as short as possible. It will also take 5 business days for the headphones to get to me so factor that in.
Originally it looked like there would be larger shipments but Grado Labs has been swamped with orders for their regular products. Therefore they are working hard - even overtime to get 50 HF-2 a week out to me and work on getting caught up on their orders.
There are currently around 350 orders in house... your patience will pay off with a great headphone! We will be charging your cards when your headphone ship to you.
Thanks to all who have ordered and look forward to hearing all of your impressions!
Todd

Thanks Todd. I guess good news for Grado means slight delays for some of us. No harm here... Patience, I believe, will have great rewards.

Doh! Oh well, patience is a virtue and I'm sure it's worth waiting for. I guess I should have ordered as soon as I could rather than ponder it a bit.
Just be sure to tell John and his worked not to rush things - slower production with no muck ups is better than getting something that's a little off

If so, we'd love to read your posts of your listening experiences with the HF-2.

Todd - I believe I placed my order 6/16 or 6/17 when we spoke on the phone. Near the end of the line but thanks for the update, sounds like Grado on top of it and moving things along. Looking forward to checking these out.

I know I ordered 5/19 and I'm pretty sure I'll be in the second batch.
