I don't see how these could start rubbing the paint off the buttons. It's a snug fit, but there's a good amount of room between the headphones and the cover. I doubt you could fit a 6' cable in there. It's already a pretty tight fit with just the headphones and its cable. You can, however, fit a small portable amp in that space as I have shown in the picture.
Wow this kicks the ass of the ebay case. Will it fit an HF2? I think so, but definately will get 2 if itll fit!
I would think they would fit the HF2's. They are a lower profile than pretty much all the Grado's that are currently being offered. Grado usually uses pretty much the same size headbands for their whole lineup, so that should be the same too.
I've just picked up one of these cases, and dear lord, is is glorious. Nice hard build quality, perfect fit for my 325is. I especially like how the plug securely clips into place between the earcups. If you travel a lot with your Grados, this is a MUST have.
It most surely does. Please see my recent sale of the 325is in this case, I believe there's a picture of the phones inside it. Quote:
