September 7, 200916 yr What about the Ocean, Wind or the Fire? Don't hold back on us. Dunno, but I can sell you on the Air, which is very light-weight.
September 11, 200916 yr HF2 #390 showed up about 10 minutes ago. It sounds like a Grado . Mine came in this afternoon but I just picked up the 1/4" adapter to use it with my pico. It sounds great!
September 12, 200916 yr Thanks for the pics! Mine should be here in about a week and a half. Probably shipping next Friday they said...
September 16, 200916 yr At Gizmodo Gallery 2009: Laser Etching! - Gizmodo Gallery Laser Etching - Gizmodo Maybe one of us in NYC should go get the Head-F1 fixed
September 17, 200916 yr I thought the F1 would really wind me up, but to be honest I've almost forgotten about it. It would be nice to get it fixed but I think you would have to have the full face skimmed and then re-etched to do it properly.
September 24, 200916 yr I don't use the HF-2s very often, because I'm well acclimated to the HD800s. But, every so often, something really just doesn't sound right out of the Senns. Tonight it was the AF Gold of "Morrison Hotel". Much better on Grados. Glad I have them.
October 3, 200916 yr First thing I noticed out of the box was a pretty similar response to my ER4P/S (more bass obviously) except the percussion sounded slightly funky with the HF2. I'm going to reexamine when I get home tonight. You guys notice a change in the upper end at all with repeated use?
October 3, 200916 yr Gah, still dont have mine Yeah it's a pisser. My card got charged on September 9 (I think) and nothing still. I haven't been able to get Todd on the phone using either the toll free number or the other one. I was really hoping to bring these to Houston with me so I'd at least have something to listen to music with \
October 3, 200916 yr Well, I got a shipping number today so I guess I'll have mine on monday I'm one of the last to order but have yet to recieve any tracking info. My CC was charged almost a month ago already. Hope to get the headphones soon.
October 3, 200916 yr Todd posted on HF that all of them should have been shipped by today, so you should get yours hopefully soon
October 3, 200916 yr First thing I noticed out of the box was a pretty similar response to my ER4P/S (more bass obviously) except the percussion sounded slightly funky with the HF2. I'm going to reexamine when I get home tonight. You guys notice a change in the upper end at all with repeated use? The bass tightens up and the rough mids and treble come good after 50 or so hours of use. They are, by far, the most fun dynamic cans I've ever owned. A surprise was listening to classical music with them and finding them unexpectedly very enjoyable to listen with. The mids and treble are spot-on, neither being too much, to little or having any irritating flaws and the bass is just the right amount of strong, punchy and tight that music becomes fun. The best bit is that they sound good out of anything, even an iPod.
October 3, 200916 yr FWIW I have spent a lot of time comparing the RS-1 with he HF2 over the last few weeks. I have used various sources and amps and with all I arrive to the same conclusion. The RS-1 has a larger soundstage (as compared w/ another Grado), it is IMO more extended, and I hear more detail. On the other hand the HF2 has more base punch and it is a bit more forgiving w/ poor recordings specially if the recording has a lot of treble energy. I know we all hear differently but IMO the RS-1 with my gear and my music is the better sounding can.
