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.

Might have to get the RS2e at some point then. Would love to compare. I love the Hemp, but do sometimes miss that extra bit of treble energy.

I have similar experience, if Tidal had an onboard DSP I would be perfectly satisfied, although I'd still want the RS2e / GH2

This headphone just sounds so good.

I agree 100%

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




This headphone just sounds so good.

Are those the standard pads on the GH2?

Yes, GH2 & GoGo Penguin is an amazing combo. Well, I still rock the L pads though. Since you like GoGo Penguin, I think you'd like Mammal Hands as well. Similar trio from the same record label but a sax instead of the double bass!

No. The GH2 sold with L pads.

If you enjoy the above artists (I do) you may also enjoy Matthew Halsall & The Gondwana Orchestra.

I thought those were G cushions.
For some reason they look larger than L cushions.

I do know them. I love their work and I own all their albums.

Have you heard of them? These are some of my favorite modern jazz groups that don't sound like the jazz your grandpa used to listen to.

Matthew Halsall is great. I'll check out The Gondwana Orchestra.

I use L pads on my other Grados, but the GH2 gets the G pads.

Would anyone be interested in a "Grado Music Thread"?

It would probably be too much on here, but think a special thread where you can tell the others which songs sound especially great on your Grado. I would go as far as to nerd out over the flow of bass lines and hidden sounds that you discovered with your Grado at 1 min 34s.

And a nice side effect would be to get to know new music!

That would be cool! I can save us a lot of time and just saying anything with guitar lol

Don't forget E. S. T.

+1 on EST. Heard them live here in Wolfsburg at one of their last concerts.

Live in Hamburg is compulsory listening!

They are G pads.

I use L pads on my other Grados, but the GH2 gets the G pads.

My GH2 will be here Thursday, coming with L. Guess I'll have to try G, which I loves on GH1.

ATM, Zappa, Imaginary Diseases, Been to Kansas City in A Minor. Nom nom nom.
