GH2 just landed today, and shipo pads came back in stock, can't wait..
Maybe:So do Hemps actually have different drivers as Zeos claims or is it just the pads?
What happens if you swap the pads between a Hemp and an RS2e or RS1e?
Yeah, I like how smitten Zeos is with the Hemps, in the review, he states " I'd take these over the Sundaras any screwing moment of the day", haha. He's right about the cable but I find it weird that he claims the headphones need a lot of power.
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. ... 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.
I'll disagree and take any other pad over the stock F pad. But I'd like to know exactly which knockoff G pad Zeos uses (it's certainly not Geekria), as I feel the official G pad isn't a great fit for the
As for the detachable cable argument, I bought an HD800S a few years ago. It broke in two days at the connector when I tried to switch the cable from 1/4" to the included balanced cable. Returned it and got the GS2000e. Now I don't really care whether or not the cable is attached because they're plugged into my amp 24/7.
That the one Geekria pad I've not tried. How does it compare to geekria "LL"? Latter is the one I've settled on for some time now.EDIT: From the links in the video description, he is using the Geekria G pad on his Hemp. Sound wise, this was my second-least favorite pad, but it did sound very similar to the stock F pad, just way more comfortable. I can see why Zeos loves the Hemp/Geekria G pairing. He prefers a more full-bodied sound rather than ultimate transparency that the official G pad + EQ can achieve. So for those who do like how the Hemp sounds with the stock F pad, consider trying the Geekria G pad.

Hemp has the same basic drivers as nearly all Grado's with the 40 mm size. The housing type (wood, alum, plastic, etc) adds some color, and then Grado "tunes" them differently (whatever mysterious voodoo that is!).So do Hemps actually have different drivers as Zeos claims or is it just the pads?
