HI: I invite you to come to SOUTH PHILA and take pics and a good listen to the HF-1. I should have them tomorrow or FRI. But keep in mind they will have the Zeta Flat and Port C-PADS) (Beyer Head Band Mod) on them.

It's all about the aestetics man

These are a limited edition run of headphones built for our forum. I plan on keeping these in good condition for a while, and would really like to have a leather headband, since they just look so nice.

At least the wood will be hard to chip

I agree. And the headband is not that bad looking, IMO.

Let's not get too picky and complain too much, this kind of thing is unprecidented. It's a 225 with wood housing and a wood button for the same price as a plain jane 225, plus you get a John Grado signature. Thanks so much to the guy, it's unbelievable. He's likely reading all this. Thanks again, John. #11 here.

Actually, you'll get a sig with #11, but by #200 i don't think he'll be signing any boxes. I hope he does tho, I love artists' signatures!

Lou, that is a generous offer! But weekends usually are baby days, other than a thin window on sunday afternoons. I'll just have to wait to hear my own pair a month from now, no worries! Thanks for the offer tho!

I think my 325i had a leather had band, actually Im almost positive they did, too bad I returned them this morning to get the HF-1, so I guess I can't tell ya for sure

Oh, good point. Complain away then.

What is "baby days?" Do you have a new baby?

so now we're on page 2 of the special thread for pics only, and still no pics. waahhh!

 

[MrSlacker]

So far, they dont look so impressive. i dont think wood button blends in with black so well.....

 

[GuffMorgan]

Ok, here we go (big images)...









That's all I took, though I do still have the HUUUUUGE images (3000x2000) in case anyone is looking for a zoom in on any of those pictures.

The wood looks fantastic! Mahogany! Woo!

#23 is a sweet number. Are you a Jordan fan?

Hah, actually when Todd called me when I was ordering he said, "And you get #23... hey that's Jordan's number!"
"Sweet, I stole his cans!"

Now I wouldn't say I'm a Jordan fan, as I don't like basketball (baseball fan), but I do recognize him as being top notch at what he did (and probably can still do).

Man, that looks so weird, but freaking awesome at the same time. Need impressions!!!

THANKS!!!!!

Now all of a sudden the wood buttons make sense.
