WOW - THAT is great news! Finally I can justify to my wife that I bought one more pair of headphones. The HF-2 has really proved to be a great investment

It will be much easier next time...

#446 in da house!

Well, actually in the office.

Just got them a few minutes ago. Walked around with the box and looked for some co-workers to share my excitement, but they're all out to lunch.

The box from Todd was so light I wondered if anything was even in there. Opened it, expecting the worst (gauges, smears, etcetera) and was pleasantly surprised to find it looks pretty much brand new. And I'm really surprised I got the number I did. I expected it to be way closer to the 500 mark, as I ordered late and was on the waiting list.

And yes, the cable is short...and thick! But the length is perfect for my office setup. For home use, I figure I'll have to add the Grado extension.

Out the box, I'm enjoying the sound very much. I don't have anything familiar, but John Patitucci sure does sound really, really good. I had been listening to only the RS-1's at the office for a long time, mostly because they sound so fantastic but, once I found out I'd be getting a HF2, I wanted to be intimately familiar with its sound so I could compare the two.

But, I ended up swapping out with the 701's a few weeks back so I'll now have to listen to HF2 for a few weeks, then compare it with the RS-1 to hear the differences.

I get a sense, though, that the RS1's are a bit more airy, with slightly more emphasis in the higher frequencies than the HF2. This is just from auditory memory, though, which is another way of saying I might be talkin' out my butt.

I am definitely glad I got a pair. I'm thinking these are a keeper!

Cheers.
