Please...let calmer heads prevail...

I have one of the CanJam HF2s. I like the way it looks and love the way it sounds. If I'd received and HF1 pair, it would really bug me. I'm particular about stuff like that. Don't know why. Don't care. It would really bug me. Other people have other views, and different levels of tolerance for mistakes. That's fine, too. So here's the deal: a mistake was made. Should it have been avoided? Yup. Will we ever know why it wasn't? Nope. It really doesn't matter much as far as I can tell. What does matter very much is the solution that I believe Todd and Grado will find and offer. Before more verbal sticks and stones get tossed around, why not wait and see if an acceptable option will be made available for those who are unhappy with their purchase? |

But sht happens, and this doesn't effect the sound/value to me. I'm dissapointed, yes-- but as much dissapointed with the need to engrave "head fi" on the headphone to begin with. A simple brand and model number (like other Grados) would have been fine with me. It's as silly as labeling a mustang "Shelby" when Carol Shelby did little more than license his name to be used on it. Did "head fi" design the phones? Nope-- we're simply the consumers of them. Authors should get upset if their names are misspelled-- consumers have little [to do] room to do so when the autograph the author has agreed to sign gets misspells their name. It's unfortunate, but nothing more. I would have been perfectly happy with the headphone simply being inscribed "Grado." I think the offer to contribute more money to head-fi was a perfect response. It was indeed the community that should be dissapointed, not the the individuals who will of course make up their own mind if they can live with an "imperfect" product. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy these things. |
