Deinel 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 Just like the description, anyone bought the HF-1 already? Just wanna ask if these phones can be listened straight through a portable source (mp3 or cd player)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yaufei 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 I had a friend who placed an order but he is still on the waiting list. So far i think they only shipped up to ~#100. I think all grados should run fine out of a portable player since they are all relatively easy to drive(all are 32ohms). Of course they will improve with an amp.

av98m 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 I'd take whatever I read from head-fi with a bucketfull of salt. I've been using grados since 2003 and never had any issues from my sr80 and later on rs-1. Some of those guys are very rough on their equipment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
