If the warranty isn't satisfactory for you, vote with your wallet and don't purchase the HE-1000s.
 
I wouldn't buy with a one year and HFM doesn't look to be changing the policy.

 
Logic is so not overrated.

  If it helps Stax SR009 only has 1 year warranty and many buy it without a warranty by buying it from japan.
 
I don't think most people care or think too much about the warranty when buying headphones. 

 
That's a really bad example set out by Stax for some disaster prone headphones. Talking from experience.
And buying from Japan is not without warranty - I had and did use the 1 year warranty with those.

Don't cherry pick because we've disagreed in the past.

I guess the only thing I've ever purchased where the warranty was a significant factor was a new car. and even then, it wasn't the deciding factor. since j happen to buy most of my audio gear used anyway, I guess warranties don't concern me all that much...but to each his/her own.

Guess we have to talk/argue about something until the HE 1000 is actually available, right?

They could very well announce a longer warranty.  No point arguing over something that hasn't been announced.  
Abyss has a 1 year warranty but 3 years if you register it online... Not sure why they do that...

So they can own your cyber soul and its internet socio economic blue print/ pattern. All patterns can be replicated, resistance is profit for the corporations. And fluffing the corporations is also profit lol. Either way we are boned, best listen to the music, let it labotomize the rationality out of the body lol. Sorry I have Been reading to much Philip K. Dick books with some H.P Lovecraft on the side.

To those who have ordered this what is the warranty they are offering?

I'm pretty sure todd offers a 30 day test period on all his headphones. Does not explain the warranty but at least sound wise and comfort I think you can determine if it's up your alley.

  don't want to sidetrack this warranty discussion, but just as a fyi side-note: all four major credit card networks (via, mastercard, discover, and american express) add at least an additional year to your product's warranty. Does not cover refurbished or second-hand items. Requires an original receipt and documentation of the warranty policy. Does not cover normal wear & tear or accidental damage.

Yep and you can always put them on your home insurance for prob. $10 a month if that really worries you. How often do r10's sell quickly at well over inflation? Pretty often when they do show up imo. No warranty, No way to repair if the driver breaks down and the driver is biodegradable. This happened to Mahler in the B.O.F. thread. I'm going to guess 3-$5k down the toilet and nothing he could do about it. He still kept buying and selling headphones.
