What's the difference - besides $1200? If you've heard them both, sound off. I'd like to know what I'm missing from my HF2's, which are amazing in their own right. Does a Darth Vader muffin top make that much difference in the sound?

 Don't know if this has been delved into lately.    I've been bitten by the headphone bug!    It would be really cool if you guys could help out and describe the "Sound Signature" of your favorite cans    More info will probably keep me broke, but I'm sure there are worse habits...

Hey everybody, I just got in a pair of the new run of HF-2 and I noticed there's a bit of a difference that will set them apart from the original run.  To begin with, I owned one of the first run HF-2s (#44) before passing it on to another Head-fi'er so he could enjoy the opportunity to have...

hi guys as it says above i have a 55 pounds budget for a new set of iem to use with my iphone,at the moment i am strongly leaning towards a set of super 5 fi vi(the mic version) as im not really a bass junky and would like a set that gives my very good clarity not just bass,would most agree...

I'm seriously considering biting the bullet and getting a pair of these but there seems to be a school of thought out there that describes them as laid back.   But if the bass is better and tighter than the 225's wouldnt that translate into more dynamics from the percussion and make the...

Like the title says, I am particularly perplexed as to what people generally think best pairs with the Grado HF-2. I have searched these forums and it appears that short of the few Gilmore Lite, Pico, and Millet amp recommendations, there isn't a sure-fire amp that has been named for these...

This little powerhouse is almost unheard of here on headfi, which is a shame. Reviews online are practically nil*, and to the best of my knowledge ALO Audio is the only distributor in North America. edit: Headfonia posted a review a couple weeks ago: http://www.headfonia.com/ortofon-hd-q7/  ...

I have used the HF2:s for a long period of time and i realy like how they fit my ears. Now i wonder if the MC5:s are similar. The shape of the MC5:s looks quite diferent. Do they go as deep as the HF2:s?

Hey everyone. Looking for some experienced grado fans to help me out with my next set of cans. I am currently a fairly happy owner of the ATH-AD900s. They have a beautiful, clear and bright sound, but at the same time lack a little punch which a little extra bass can give. I also find they can...

I've decided to get another pair of Grados over a headphone amp. I was recommended the HF-2s but I can't seem to find them online for sale anywhere. I want to get a pair that will be a good upgrade over my Sr225is, which I love absolutely. I was looking at the Gs1000is, or one of the Reference...

Just got the K701s in, and using it with the Little Dot MKV right now, and they're too bright for me right now, so on a lookout for a new amp. Looking around the $400 - $500 USD price range, and used is fine for me. Been eyeing the KICAS Caliente, which seems to be a good fit for the K701s and...

I'm a noob audiophile. With regards to guitar equipment, I ALWAYS strived to have the best tone possible, so I figured why would I not do that when listening to music? Last christmas, I got myself a pair of Grado SR225is. Such an amazing step up from my previous in ear skullcandy pos. I could go...

This is a listing of Grado HF-2 limited edition head-fi headphones, their serial numbers, and their respective owners. The most updated list is on page 11(post 162) thanks to Drumonron. #000-024 were delivered to their respective owners at CanJam 2009. These headphones had "GRADO HEAD-FI...

I am a newbie in this area and would need your recommendation for a good pair of earphones. I had a blackberry before and bought a blackberry earphones with controls ($80). I now have an iPhone 4 and unfortunately the controls on the earphones do not work (just the stop/play button but not the...

Looking for some rock headphones under $400-$450.   My amp is the WA6.   Suggestions?

i got some hf-2's coming from todd the vinyl junkie. i ordered almost a month ago does he usually take this long or should i be concerned about getting them?

Is HF-2 a good headphone for high quality sources/amp?

You guys have me convinced to purchase a set of Grado cans over the Sennheiser HD-555s.  Here is some background information before I ask my questions:   1.  They will be used mostly with an iPod and a nuforce icon moblie amp and PC (looking to upgrade my sound card).   2.  Sources will...

My birthday is coming up. I am getting headphones. And I was thinking... Is the SR225 worth the $100 step up from the MS1? I hear they have similar sound signatures (more laid back Grado's) but the SR225 is a little more refined. Also is the SR125 worth the $50 more? I have never tried Grado's...

Money burning a hole in my pocket. No, not really.. just looking for the "perfect 3." I want to own 3 pairs of cans without them being redundant. The first will be my beloved T1s, which 2 headphones would compliment them the best?   I am looking at: ATH W5000 HiFiMAN HE-5LE Grado...

ok, here i go...i know that  this ''help me choose threads'' really annoys u...but i did some research before posting and most of the people ask if.... the headphones that they heard that are good, and wanna buy, suits their tastes...i'll do it vice-versa i mostly listen to...

I have just ordered a pair of Grado hf-2, I was looking for a pair of 325is before, but several days ago I found that hf-2s are still avaliable, so I decided to have this one instead.   I ordered this headphone blindly, I never had any grado headphone before, I heard that grado headphones...

  Hey all,    I was hoping that the collective wisdom of Head-Fi may be able to help me select the "right" headphones for my Father.   Here is the scenario: My Dad is a recovering audiophile. He owns B&W 801 + Krell KSA 80 + Audio Research amp + a digital transport + DA converter...

Hi Head-F1ers After a long time since this were made public, a lot of people have given some impressions. I have updated this thread with a lot of comments, impressions and comparisons. I think people already have enough information on how this sound. Reading everyone's impressions take a...

can the grado hf2 run without an amp?
