A)…that includes headphone designers…which has interesting implications…
B)…which is why an absolute reliance on measurements for evaluating audio equipment leads to nowhere…
The only Grado I want to hear right now is the Hemp. The Grado HF3 was fantastic. I'm told the Hemp is as good or better. I regret returning the HF3 for sure.
I dont think The Hemp is better, per se, just a little different. The Hemp is a little bassier, HF3 is a little more sparkly and trebly. Depends on what you like.
I would like to hear what you hear, because what I hear doesn't sound as good as the other two Grado cans I own.
The RS1e sounds good just not as good to my ears.
I think we can agree that not everyone hears the same.
In the old days when RS1 had less bass, I remember turning the volume up to get more bass, but of course would just get more upper mids and treble.
Short time I had the RS1e, I remembering doing the same and turning up the volume to get more treble, and would just get more upper mids and bass.
I think our ears want/crave some sort of balance in the frequency: bass, mids and treble. Even when there's peaks and valleys in the frequency range, our ears are still looking for those peaks and valleys to find some sort of balance.
At the moment with the PS2000e not currently available I would recommend bypassing the GS1000e & GS2000e and save for the GS3000e. The White is nice but does not compete on that level.
Will be going to the Toronto Audio Fest today. Apparently the main Canadian distributor will be there so hopefully I can finally try the entire Prestige X line with my own music. Will be using my iFi Micro iDSD Black Label and my FiiO E17 as a source. I'm also packing an assortment of pads too. Should be a fun day.

The Canadian Grado distributor (Audio Group) was a no-show. Unbelievable after the convention hyped their appearance. Sorry everyone.
The iFi seller (Audio Excellence) had everything but the flagships. That iDSD Micro Signature for CAD $700 (USD $570) is an absolute steal but my old Black Label is still good enough.

Can‘t wait for the next CanJam, SomeCity Audio Festival, Norddeutsche Hi-Fi Tage, SomeCity Headphone Camp, etc. Everything was cancelled since April 2020.
Next big thing ‘here’ (280 mi) is the (re)opening of Headphone.Shop (distributor of several brands like Abyss, Astell, Campfire, Meze,… ZMF) in late November.
And of course they have Grado!
