I can see it as white oak, but I never would have thought red oak.

There are a few ways to take out a driver from wood cups, I've used vinegar and thin craft knife blade, takes a bit of time but minimal damage to cups or drivers.Does Grado have a way of ungluing the drivers? I’m curious about how they repair their wooden headphones.
Nice work! Thanks for the info.There are a few ways to take out a driver from wood cups, I've used vinegar and thin craft knife blade, takes a bit of time but minimal damage to cups or drivers.
Here are my RS2e drivers removed:
I also refinished the cups since they were a bit dried out as you can see in the second image with shows the refinished and before refinishing.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that all my Grado/clones have SMC jacks so the cables are removeable and easily changed and dynamat has been added in the cups and on the back of drivers. Also, as much as I like my RS2e it get little use these days since I've found I prefer the Nhoord Red V2 + ansagna wood cup (slightly better bass and imaging/soundstage and not quite as bright as RS2e) and Ypsilon R1 (better bass, treble, imaging and soundstage than RS2e, PS500, PS5000e, RS2e, RS1e, GS1000e, PS1000 and GS2000e). Please take that these are my preferences and that of a few other friends who own the other Grados that were compared only.Nice work! Thanks for the info.

Very neutral colour. What kind of wood?

With school starting up this week, I won't be able to give a proper impression until Saturday, but I will try to post some first impressions tonight.
No idea haha. I wish I knew.
Would you like white fabric pointing up or down?(I.E should the wood cups be facing up or facing down)

Rich Grado informed me today (after I pestered him) that mine should ship by end of week. Can't wait!
Ok so Grado are only charging these huge shipping fee's for the HF3. any other headphone I put in the cart offers normal shipping fees that I would expect. So yeah...go figure.
I would suspect a bug on the web page first.
