I just picked these up today so this is just an initial assessment. These are a great sounding headphone overall but the fact that they are also closed back and still have great soundstage at...
everything about these headphones is flawless. Everything is balanced, and perfect. Any of the reviews that didn't like them most likely have a fake pair, or, hate life. The only thing I could...
I paid 25 bucks for this phone, which makes it stupidly good value. Best Bang for the buck phone. Quite comfy so you can use it for quite a long time. Sounds is quite awesome, not 200$ awesome...
with so much talk on burn-in , i really dont know if im a believer or not.... my xb500s had a change in sound once burnt in, but it wasnt the same with the shure se 535(then again BAs need no...
I am one of the crazy guys with a bucket full of IEMs. I listen mostly to my beloved Cowon J3 because I can equalize most IEMs for a sound I like. I have an amp. Now I have the 012s, like I...
As long as I get a good serial number like 151 (same as my HF-1s) I'll be completely content. If I'm stuck with some stupid number like 223 or, god forbid, 196 I'm gonna be severely ticked off. I can't imagine how I'll feel if I end up with 247...
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.
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 - 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.
