The Hemps are so much fun with modern pop music.

They are also fun with "real" heavy-metal music \m/

I played Opeth’s Deliverance and Damnation the other day and they shined so well on those tracks!

Grado sells the tan headbands for around $65 (shipped)...more or less what the aftermarket options cost.

Aftermarket vendors do give you more color options.

Mine was around €20 delivered from Italy to UK

Haha, so you know what's 'real' heavy-metal music

Todays listenoing ranged from Tool's Fear Inoculum to Deadmau5, and all sounded fantastic.

Haha, I had to hold some credibility somehow. I see you around on the dream theater forums!

Hahaha. I heard yesterday that the recording of the new DT album is almost completed.

Awesome! I really enjoyed their last album, probably my favorite of theirs since Octivarum. I haven’t played any DT on the Hemps yet might have to change that later on tonight. I’m playing Zappa’s Hot Rats on my RS2e currently

Yes I agree with you, DOT is easily their best album in the last 10 years.

That was a bargain.

I had some time to kill so I decided to give some of the AutoEQ profiles a try. AutoEQ calculates its profiles from public frequency graphs. Oof, the AutoEQ profile for the GS3000e pretty much sucked the life out of it. The Hemp profile was better but still not good enough compared to my own tuning by ear. I guess I just don't prefer the Harman target.

EDIT: Added comparison pic. Faded line is AutoEQ, darker line is what I run. Grado's secret sauce is the 2khz boost and to EQ that down is heresy!

Can someone explain what the deal is with the 2k treble peak that is exhibited on every Grado is? It’s definitely part of their signature sound but I’m wondering what instruments I’m hearing that interacts with that treble peak? I read in another thread that the peak is more for creating “air” in the sound signature like you would hear in a concert hall. Is there any truth to this?

I love the sound of the three grados I tried and I just wanna learn more about their quirks

2k is where Midrange hands off to Upper Mids. Boosting 2k can generally give more presence to snare drums, guitars and vocals... "Air" are the uppermost frequencies, way above 2k...

My second pair of grados. Love them

Can you post your EQ settings? I have been playing with the EQ for my 3000e's, here is my current:
Filter 1: ON LS Fc 62.0 Hz Gain 12.0 dB Q 1.000
Filter 2: ON PK Fc 140 Hz Gain -6.0 dB Q 0.900
Filter 3: ON PK Fc 630 Hz Gain 3.5 dB Q 0.800
Filter 4: ON PK Fc 2500 Hz Gain 3.0 dB Q 1.000
Filter 5: ON PK Fc 5700 Hz Gain -5.5 dB Q 2.000
