I reckon I prefer the larger tip 6,3mm. Except for the Sr60, sr80, if I had a choice. But for my rs2e which as the 3.5mm smaller tip , with a gold adapter. All I'm doing is using the short Senn adapter which cost me £7 . Works and feels fine , no pressure on the player or the tips.

If you need to reduce the outer size some careful work with an Exacto razor tool works well and is neat and clean if you are handy that way. Worked for me.

Well so much for that idea for a portable hemp, going to be returning the 2nd Hemp I just bought as the 3.5mm connector is too shallow and loose. Falls out of socket of devices when they have even a thin case on. What's the point of a 3.5mm termination if it doesn't work with portable devices with that use a case (almost all of them)? I think they made the length of the plug too short.

Yes, the Grados have a shorter 3.5mm plug. An easy cheap fix is a 2-3 inch 3.5mm extension cable with a longer tip. Hundreds on Amazon or eBay. I have about 3 different ones laying around because my phone cases are thicker and I have several phones with shorter 3.5mm tips.

Don't throw out $400 headphones for lack of a $5 part!

My new 'minimalist' Schtack, and it really does sound lovely.

Really interesting review. I wonder why it’s unlisted on his channel.

I wonder what John Grado would think.

He hasn’t published it yet. If you want a pair order it before the review goes public.

Think his review will cause them to sell out?

I’ve been considering getting these but I’m not sure if I want to spend $600 CAD on a pair, especially since I was planning on spending $700 CAD on an RS2e in a couple months.

He has a big audience, and I think the review is positive, so they might sell out considering the rumor that the model is on its way out. And it’s a limited edition, I don’t know if Grado is still making them.

Sooo good on hemp:

His Hemps also have the white stitching.
It made me try the G-cushions. Hmmm.. kind of fun signature but I do prefer the original F-pads.

I think they are a catastrophe with the G pad.

I had time to hear the first 30Min, it is a very positive review. But I do not know what he hears if he prefers the G-pads. Not even the L pad is really optimal with the HEMP.

Anything else as the F-pad and the drive/weight/punch/speed of the sound is less. Which is a crucial part of the whole (sound) concept I think.

Seriously, so much irritation about a cable? 80% more sales? Yeah, right.

 

[Stevko]

The 8 conductor cable will probably last forever

I've watched his reviews of other products, this just irritated me. The Hemp isn't wildly different from other Grados in the way he describes it, I don't think he's fully grasped the concept, or how they work. So many incorrect assertions; what was that nonsense about them being difficult to drive, and the gain settings making a difference? A long way from my experience, and hilariously fitting G pads turns them into regular Grado treble monsters; I agree with carboncopy, it's the F pads that makes them so different from other models. Change the pads to L or G and they are much closer.
This guy reviewed my dac and loved it, maybe I did buy a duffer after all!
