screaming oranges Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 Wait, so let me see if I have this right: John is still working on shipping out the PS1000's, as reserved orders still haven't been shipped. Clients are anxiously awating their orders... and Grado decides to start manufacturing another line of headphones while the one that should already be available to the market (as was promised months ago) is still in the shop? So can I safely assume that Sennheiser will announce the Jubilee version of the HD800 at CanJam?
n_maher Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 Wait, so let me see if I have this right: Yes, you have it right. Grado makes lots of different headphones concurrently, no big shock there. The HF-2, whatever it is, has probably been in the works for a while and maybe had fewer production issues compared to the GS1000s. I don't see anything nefarious here.
tkam Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 If only purchasing one didn't kick $40 back to hf and jude....
Dash Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 We would miss the entertainment "it" provides and $40 is cheap for living theater
NotoriousBIG_PJ Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 Ordered as well. Wait, what are we ordering here? Biggie.
laxx Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 I wish I could at least see a picture of them first. =T
postjack Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 I feel like I should at least listen to them at canjam before swiping a card, but it's probably a matter of hours before this hits hf.
The Monkey Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 ^pshaw. Just buy them like I did. Then spend hours consumed by guilt, anxiety, and regret. Makes for a nice Friday.
n_maher Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 I feel like I should at least listen to them at canjam before swiping a card, but it's probably a matter of hours before this hits hf. Jack, my guess is that it's unlikely that they'll ship before canjam and this is just a preorder which in my mind makes it perfectly legit to cancel if I don't like what I hear.
Duggeh Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 I'd be tempted to spring for a set too if I hadn't had to fork out a small fortune in graduation costs and clothing hire. I wasn't that keen on the HF-1 anyway.
postjack Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 ^pshaw. Just buy them like I did. Then spend hours consumed by guilt, anxiety, and regret. Makes for a nice Friday. my feelings exactly. good point nate. still this is $400 that could go towards an HD800.

morphsci Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 Ordered as well ok, I'll say it: what if it sucks? Well you can always sell them on Head-Fi.
naamanf Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 Curious when the feeding frenzy is going to hit HF. Should be entertaining. I also figured this was a pre-order and they will be at CJ. Better to be at the front of the line and not like them than the back wanting a pair.
drp Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 ....................but it's probably a matter of hours before this hits hf. Which will then quickly be followed by the first poster in the HF announcement thread insisting on serial number 0001, two threads on who's ordered and their serial number preference/insistance, A few threads about Todd not having shipped theirs yet, and two more threads with pre-release conjecture-comparos to everything from the iGrado to the PS-1. Add one more pair to the HC team; just finished placing an order.
laxx Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 You guys convinced me to pre-order. Might as well get in before HF goes nuts and there aren't any left.
naamanf Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) The way this is going they might have to change the name to the HC-1s. Edited May 15, 2009 by naamanf

It is amazing how likely this scenario is. And the epic irony that is Head-case ordering the first 20 pairs or so will probably not be missed either.
Duggeh Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 Someone should do a Head-Case exclusive headphone. Gold plated HD800 maybe. As for S/N, One assumes that Jude has had dibs on #001 for some time and Todd will want a pair too. Thread on HF
VPI Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 I ordered a set as well so I could beat the rush. I have been contemplating getting a set of HF-1s but I am a FOTM kind of guy and those are soooo last month.
n_maher Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 T-minus, what, 10 minutes before Todd's site crashes?

Add one more pair to the HC team; just finished placing an order. All spot on. Not to mention the spate of new users flooding the boards with inane posts to reach the required minimum of 5. Join date is the better measure.
