From my personal experience, #1 is immediately debunked by comparing RS1x and RS2x. Also my beautiful Hemp seems to be an outlier within the Grado family.

You can disable charging in Settings > Battery. They've added this function in FW1.0.7 for LTD and FW1.0.2 for ESS.

I swear, the most beautiful-looking Grado is someone else's Grado

The one on the left. The "Y" is the latest Beyer logo. But I don't think there's any difference in terms of sound.

gug42, I demoed both of them a long time ago, and used to own DT1770pro for a short period, and I fully agree with you. DT1770pro is definitely more revealing than DT700proX, and they also go deeper into the sub-bass region. Interlude by Yosi Horikawa is a totally different experience when heard...

Coincidentally, I'm eyeing on DT770pro as a companion for my Hemp.

Thank you all for the replies. Unfortunately, LSA HP-2, T5p, and Sonorous are all too heavy for my fragile neck. I'm sorry should've mentioned that, as I was hoping to find something under 300 grams. So I'm changing my question, is there any lightweight closed-back that you guys enjoy as a...

I think others may have asked this before, but what is the closest thing to a closed-back Hemp?

Gotta find myself an eye clinic cause I'm struggling hard to find the crap part.

As a horrified English learner, burn-in and break-in are two different things?

I guess the problem is I don't know much about sound quality. In fact, I don't think I even hear much difference with the Hemps plugged into DX3pro+ or straight to the PC. Of course, the PC phone jack has more noise, so the sound from DX3pro+ is much cleaner, but I don't think I'm detecting...

So I have a really noob question. I'm using my Hemps with Topping DX3pro+. I have no complaint in terms of power as the volume knob is at -45dB-ish with low gain for the Hemps. Also, all my music files have replaygain on them so that's like additional -6~-12dB on top. My question is, when the...

If you're thinking about me don't worry I already got one :kissing_heart: But yeah this is bad news if my Hemp ever dies.

Apparently The Hemp is sold out here in Japan and not coming back. Not sure if this means anything for the rest of the world, but just a heads-up.
