Geez, not again - now you fellas are makin' me think of buying one of those 'for sale' HF-2s as a second and try the balanced route. Between that and my latest venture into Stax territory, its lookin' more and more like a second mortgage will be required - gotta love what has happened to my psyche and my wallet since joining Head-Fi a year ago.

Hmm. I seem to like them on quieter music (such as acoustic stuff) but on other rock and metal it just sounds like a wall of sound that gives me a headache. Am I the only one who feels this way? Maybe Grado's just aren't for me... I remember liking my MS1's.

That's strange. The MS1i is definitely more claustrophobic-sounding than the HF2.

Soundstage itself is also not the HF2's strong suit I have to say but no one buys a Grado for a massive soundstage anyway with the exception of the GS1000.

No, you're not the only one. Grados have always been a love-em don't-love-em thing. Just personal preference.

Just got HF-2 #253. My intial impressions are that they are better at reproducing vocals and no treble sparkles as the GS1000. The GS1000 on the other hand has more accurate bass and are more refined. Both headphones are very similar sounding and lack most of the coloration as other grado headphones.

I think they were the 1st grado for a lot of people and I dont think grado's will suit everyone.

what an ******* todd is..
i got my hf2 stolen (i never got the tracking number so i didn't know it was there, later on that day only thing left under my apartment entrance was empty box..)
and i tell him that my hf2 is stolen..
then i get the email saying it's not his responsibility after the shipment is made...
then i tell him don't say none of this is your fault when in fact you said you would email me tracking number when it's shipped out...
then i get the shipping notice email(this is a freaking joke..)
then i tell him i want to know what number my hf2...then i would know if someone try to sell my hf2..
no response......no update.....he told me he would talk to usps... but no response or update..
this has been the best customer service i have ever experienced...
3 month waiting and delaying and nothing...
well this was my hf2 impression.

 

[03029174]

Thats awful, i hope he sorts it out and gets back to you. Keep hanging in there mate

 

[03029174]

Even so he should get straight back to the customer and be able to tell him the serial number, thats basic customer service

Sorry to hear about your loss... I use to live in a small apartment and the same happen to me, the delivery guy just left the package at my door and it was gone. Lucky for me the seller was nice enough to send the replacement, when the replacement came same thing happen. They just left it at the door again. They didnt even knock the door, lucky i was home at the time.

So after that i got myself a Post Office Box, never had a loss package after that. And always buy insurance just in case.....

I was kind of nice about it because there is no guarantee that thing get stolen after i left my apt it could have happened before so wouldn't make any difference.. and one things for sure that if i knew it was coming on that day i would never walked out... and to make things worse he's sending me that shipping notice email after i tell him that thing got stolen... so don't tell me he has nothing to do with it...

looks like you are my ****ing problem. Did you ever think to get a post office box and insurance? You're the ***** who chose to live in a such a god forsaken hole and didn't take the precautions to protect your interests.
