Just a something to be careful about... As HF-2 owners know, the lip that holds the ear pads extends a bit further from the wooden body compared to the RS/GS series of headphones. This may cause some complications.
I just found this out when I pulled off the ear pads. The pieces were evidently trapped in place for a while. I'm very sure I didn't cause this, as breakage is in the direction opposite of which I pulled the pad.
This appears to be some sort of wood fatigue. If you look toward the right of the picture you can so another chunk of wood that looks to be crumbling apart. It looks like hair or dust on the lens; but it isn't, it's a sort of a stress fracture.
I'm don't know if I should get some wood glue and put it back together myself or send it back to Grado. These have been my primary headphones every day since I got them and I really don't want to be without them, even for a few weeks. I doubt Grado would be able to repair and turn these around quickly since the wood housing and aluminum cap are so non-standard compared to the rest of their line. I did just get my GS-1000s in today though!
