Sweet! Looks really nice.

Now we just need some impressions...

I think a HF-2 would make a nice office 'phone.

Maybe because you can share the music with everyone in the same room.

I don't like how the part that holds / swivels the cups don't go all the way around like RS1, but instead are just part way like the lower end models.

Metal would have been nicer.

Still, these are nicer looking than I imagined.

Agreed. A full ring yoke would of been nice.

Good eye, thanks. I have never worn a Grado. How would you expect these to rate on the comfort scale?
(FWIW, I find the Denon D2000 very comfortable, and the Senn HD650 to be somewhat uncomfortable.)

It's the same as the 325. This can is a tricked out mod'd 325.

Is that wood glue holding the driver and enclosure together?

Also, the "-24-" on the wood looks like its marked with a marker and not engraved.

Why bowls? Noooooo..

And where's the button?! OMGG

Sexy regardless!

I see how this cup was done. The 325 cup was milled down to eliminate the Raised lattering on the face. This cause the Bevel to be wider and the cup edge to screen to be shallower. I was wondering how he would pull off a custom one off cup and do it fiscally responsible. Then add the "printing".

Very Clever Mr. Grado!!

It's a "Cut Down" 325 Cup, which looks Great IMHO.

we're going to have to keep an extra careful eye/ear out for fake high-end Grado

Relative small, probably 'decent' sounding, looks nice, and the fact that I simply need an office 'phone...

I have an office on my own, so I can always close the door if I want to play loud.

Or the same as PS1000 with smaller cup? Or the same as RS-2 with metal cup? Come on, it's a different headphone with various elements combined, not "tricked out mod'd" SR325.

It looks more like a variation on the new "wood plus metal" idea used for PS1000.
