Interesting that you put the light gimbal set with the mahogany RS2e, and the black with the silver PS500e. Is it the contrast between gimbal and cup that you are after??

I'm thinking about the black gimbal set for my RSe -- it would not look much different from the stock, but it would be more secure and sturdy.

The silver gimbals do not match the PS500e's silver color, the silver tones are slightly different! But i had ordered a silver and a black set. So this is the only thing i could do. Otherwise i'd stare on the not matching silvers all the time But i think it in the end the silver and browns look great together.

If anyone wants to sell their Hemp that is in great condition let me know(US please).

Looks like the 4ourears store has most of the SR in stock, only the SR60 still listed as out of stock.

yeah I looked, I know it says plenty in stock but I am looking for a used pair. Saw a couple and I failed to pull the trigger that were like at $300 and $320. I got the money now so looking.

Oh, didn't mean this to be directed toward you. There was discussion a while back of doom and gloom for Grade since all the prestige line was out of stock. Looks like they got their stock of that line back up. I don't think the Hemp was ever out of stock.

The White also went out of stock while I was thinking yeah, no, yeah no...

I received the beautifulaudio pads, thought I'd leave a quick review here since I don't see them talked about too much.

Silvian is great to deal with, he went above and beyond to make my order perfect for me. I ordered his large pads. I'm very impressed with the quality, fit, and feel. They remind me of very nice leather car seats, which is exactly what I wanted. But they are softer than i expected too, just very comfy. They seem like they will last forever. My one minor complaint is the shape; they're pretty thick front to back and they make the phones bulge off your head farther than I'm used to (I think I could use thinner foam inside to mostly remedy this).

He provided a few different foams to try and I figured out a combo that I like. My previous favorite pads are far and away the Geekria/knockoff G pads, which to me have a unique cavernous sound, with tons of punch, articulation and separation of the instruments. Other pads I've tried (deluxe flats, S, L) don't even come close.

The BA pads are not as wild as the knockoff Gs; they have a little less instrument separation and articulation but more of an open and smooth sound. Bass feel is there but not pummeling you as much. Still bigger soundstage and more detail than any of the other pads save the knockoff Gs. I think the BA pads provide a nice reference-like tonality while the Gs possess greater dynamics when that is desired.

Note: I run a sound-test EQ on each set of pads so I'm not comparing frequency response but mainly timbre of the pads.

All in all, I'm glad I took the plunge on the BA pads. They're pricey but really the only pads available that sound great and have a bit more comfort than the sometimes scratchy feeling foam pads. Plus the experimentation options with different types and shapes of foam inserts are nearly unlimited.

so has anyone found pads that enhance the qualities of the Hemp while improving comfort? Or do we just stick with the stock?

I've found that Sennheiser 414 'yellow' pads with the quarter mods are probably closest to the stock pads while adding a bit more cushioning/comfort.

I did give up the idea, that I will find my ultimate and one-and-only headphone, which means a certain collection will be amassed. But how to store them? I never liked the “wand of headphone” solutions. Too clumsy, especially if the cables are also attached to the headphones. Plus there is no protection against dust if the headphones are just around. So I went with Ikea instead and I donated a drawer for each headphone. Plus I ordered some laser engraved tablets...here is my small Grado collection

That is awesome! I love the accessories drawer too. Because every Grado-head surely has a stash of extra earpads and adaptors and stuff.
