I'm in the first (I guess really second) batch, so it appears that I'll be receiving a Formula 1 HF-2. It's a stupid QC mistake, and one that wouldn't be tolerated for a non "special edition" phone, so I don't know why it should be tolerated now. It's not like these are cheap. Grado should--and does--know better. The question I have is what is the best practical solution here? Running a new batch is pretty annoying because it will result in yet another wait. However, it also isn't right to have to just accept Grado's error. I think Grado should offer a partial refund and eat the cost (rather than Todd). Knocking off 20% seems reasonable to me.
