Grado HF2 is one of the few Grado cans that manage to sound right (as far as a Grado goes) without possessing any serious flaws. All the traditional Grado strengths are there such as the oh-so liquid midrange, delicious timbre, PRaT and the ability to induce you into a head-bobbing trance minus the annoying treble that plagues the top-tier models such as the PS1000 and GS1000 plus an added bass punch that makes contemporary music sounds really good. The HF2 truly embodies the qualities that make a Grado Grado, and some more.
