I rather like the stealth-ugly look. Ensures I don't get mugged when wearing them somewhere other than my room.

Thank God the HF-1 came about because it was what finally got me motivated to try a Grado. The only one that lost out was me on the time I could have had enjoying a Grado headphone but didn't allow myself because I judged a book by its cover. Sure they may not be the best looking headphones upon first glance but put some on and watch how fast they wow you. |
