The first 50 HF-2s shipped out last week and Todd have said that Grado Labs will be shipping him 50 HF-2s a week. 4-500 pairs are most probably in order.
You do the math, but I guess you are looking at 8-9 weeks down the road.

Ahh - that is GOOD. I will be away on summer vacation for the next 4 weeks. So if it was shipped immediately I would not be at home to receive it anyway. 8-9 weeks waiting is no problem. It is not like I NEED another headphone

Relax, I think Todd is probably catching up on things. He's earned your patience.

Hi All,
It appears an error has occurred on the HF-2. The engraving does indeed have Grado Head-F1 Headphone HF2 on the aluminum enclosure.
First I would like to make it completely clear that the error was not spotted before the headphones were shipped by either Grado Labs or by TTVJ. Had either of us noticed the error we would have announced it and given you the option to buy it or not.
So here is the deal… there are enough enclosures done this way to produce 500 HF-2 headphones. There is no way to correct the F1 engraving error and the remaining HF-2 headphones will be built and sold with the current engraving. We are going to make the cutoff for the HF-2 at 500 headphones or July 31st. – which ever comes first. There are currently about 400 orders placed.
I currently have more of the HF2 headphones in stock and ready to ship. To ship your orders on hand I would like your confirmation that you still want the HF-2 (please e-mail us at todd@ttvj.com). On Friday shipments will resume to confirmed orders. Grado Labs is still building and shipping 50 a week to me until all 500 are sold or whatever the number is on July 31st.
Both John and I apologize for this but we both feel strongly that this is a great headphone at a great price. We will leave it up to you as to whether or not you can live with the cosmetic error.
John has graciously volunteered to send an additional $10 to Head-Fi for each HF-2 sold which could mean up to as much as $5000 additional funds for Head-Fi!

Well I assume this means there will not be any non F1s beside the CanJam pairs! Lucky CanJam people get SUPER LIMITED CANS!
Todd told me that he wants a pair but he is waiting to get them to people who ordered first! This guy is amazing!

I definitely still want mine, I think it's kind of cool. It is a bit like the upside down airplanes on those stamps. And the extra money to Head-Fi is a very generous concilation.

What everyone needs to remember, is this was a simple mistake trying to get them to US A FAST AS POSSIBLE!
There will be no new engravings, if you EVER want an HF-2 this is IT!
Grado and Todd did a huge service to us to make this amazing can for cheaper than an RS-2, DO NOT miss out on it just because a I is a 1, considering until one member posted this, no one else noticed!
Im sure Strider will get a replacement because of his scuffed pair with the dowel messed up, but come on guys this is a great deal, help out head-fi, and especially YOURSELF and keep your order!
