They're back - The HF-2 now available again! - Page 3

There's a real difference between a product that is limited production to limit supply, jack up the price, and give an aura of exclusivity and one that is, by all accounts, limited and sold as as a good gesture to the community. 

Hello guys, for how long did TTVJ accepted orders last time?

Until they're sold out (hours? could be minutes... tldr so how many are available this time?)

Last time I bought them I got up at like 2am as he started the offer at 9am in Montana. Also  note the ttvj website may be a bit slower than usual.

There is still time left, I just ordered mine, so excited.

It looks like mid July before they will be shipping( in 2-3 weeks). They are currently in process and being built. I still have more to sell so order away. They will ship out as soon as we receive them and Grado Labs is doing all they can to make it happen efficiently.

Is these will come with the John Signature and S/N too?

I dont think so..

Limited is Limited, but this will help head-fi.org alot to earn money :)

Well put, UE. I wish I could afford a pair of these mean puppies right now. I am surprised there are still some left.

so tempted to order, just worried about customs :/ 

Maybe there's something special about their back.

LMAO, Uncle Erik!  How do they get that whine to get that loud?  Unbelievable; with the HF-2's, it almost feels like I'm right there on stage with the whine!!! 

Hey, what about a Beanie John Grado?!  Oh, man, they'd be some serious trampling going on at WalMart™ when those hit the floor. That'd leave a few vacated user-names for sure. 

...so when do they start shipping?

Todd said in 2-3 weeks about week and a half ago.

I would like to know how many of the HF2's have been produced for sale. When I purchased mine I was under the very clear impression that I was buying one from a limited run of only 500 headphones being manufactured for sale to Head-Fi members. I was chuffed that I managed to secure a limited edition headphone, even if it did have a typo etched into the metal cup. However, I do feel somewhat misled knowing that more of them are being released for sale. That doesn't mean that I begrudge anyone else having the opportunity to now acquire one, but it was a selling point for this phone, which has proven to be untrue.

Please come to the rescue Uncle Erik
 

^ What a lame response to a reasonable concern. You can ask Uncle Erik to write your posts for you while your at it.
