Beautiful work Riley! Awesome to see more makers out there!

Hey thanks. Sorry I missed this. I have been experimenting with some different woods. Check it out!

I'm in aural nirvana right now (listening to GoGo Penguin).




This headphone just sounds so good.

I really hate the Grado bug. I wasn’t originally into the hemp because i didn’t think it had the Grado trademark sound. Now that I have the RS2e and i love it, I’m thinking i should repurchase the hemp as an alternative flavor... DAMNIT

That's the beauty, after all, if you like ice cream, you'll probably enjoy several flavours!

I am intrigued by these too, but resisting the temptation. I think they would compliment the 325e and Hemp nicely, especially as I have found them heavily discounted.

I stupidly replied to a post from 4 months ago *

Sorry to ask and I don't want to insult anybody here, but I don't understand why some peoples are obsessed in experimenting with different pads for the Hemp? The Hemp driver has been tuned with the TTVJ flat pads and I don't understand why you would want to change the sound signature?

I guess there are a few reasons; one is that it's an easy way to add some EQ when you can't in the upstream audio, although it's a bit hit and miss; secondly it's the attraction of experimenting and customising, and then of course comfort.

To my ears, only the RS2e is better than the GH2 (and not by much). You might end up thinking the GH2 is not better than the Hemp or the SR325, but I guarantee that you will think that it is the most beautiful Grado in your collection.

Some pics of the Shipi

Do you have any pictures of the Shipibo earpads on your Hemp? Would love to see how it looks?

Also for you are there only positives for these earpads? Any negatives?

Unfriendly. ...they look a bit like a very soft G cush. Would I be wrong ? What's the price anyway ....assume not available in UK.

Just purchased the Hemp. By the end of the week my full sized headphone collection will be RS2e and the Hemps. Which i think are a good contrast to each other. Then I’ll stop buying for.. awhile lol.

Would love to hear your comparison of the two. I have a Hemp and have been hearing great things about the RS2e from people here. But I'm not convinced they're different enough to justify owning both.

They are a lot softer and more comfortable (IMO). Also they are slightly larger in both depth and circumference (it adds a bit of room), along with not altering the sound in the same way as the G-Cushions.

They are $60 USD for a pair

I had brief exposure to the Hemp a couple weeks ago and to me the Hemp is a HD600 by Grado. In the best way possible. Where as the RS2e is more classical grado with that treble energy. I can’t wait to have them side by side, but those were my impressions. I want to get the HEMP into my life because I think it’ll be a good alternative, and probably play smoother with songs that are not well recorded.

Wow, didn't realize they were that big. It's an impressive feat to sound close to stock with such a different earpad, it sounds too good to be true! I'm itching to buy a pair. Thanks for all your views on these and the pictures! Looking forward to the comparisons with the other pads you have on the way
