I prefer if they start selling their headphones without cables and give me a discount

I guess they could cut off the cables to save weight too.

Seriously I for one have only good experiences with all the Grados I have or have owned.

BTW, I have a 1/4 inch male to two 3.5mm headphone cable made from Grado’s cable.

I was not at all surprised how good it sounded on some of my other phones set up for detachable cables.

My home built Grado cable sounded better than what Focal gives you on the $1500 Clear and the cables that came with my $2000 Sony MDR-1ZR.

Raise your hand if that is a surprise to you.

For @Luckyleo and other GS3000x owners: if you like piano, you must listen to the album Facing You (ECM 1017: recorded November, 1971; released March, 1972.). This is a solo piano debut on the ECM label by Keith Jarrett. Astounding!

Will Grado ever do a Black Friday sale?

I love my Hemp more than any other headphones in my signature.
But it's very strange when everybody asking to make a detached cable Grado made the new braided cable even thicker than before. I feel like that Grado hates their customers.

Disagree... Schiit works great with Grado and they use Grado to test some amps.

If you want to pay more for less with other brands... your choice...

Well Grados used to be demoed with Graham Slee (hand made in South Yorkshire)amps in the UK at one time. As did Sennheiser. I believe Grado still use a Solo Ultra Linear in Brooklyn. I like mine via my Solo amongst other amps. Point is there are certainly alternatives to the strangely ubiquitous Schiit. Don't get the hype myself.

Different horses for different courses.

Schiit, Like Grado costs more outside the US.

On the other hand, picking up something from the UK or EU and shipping it to Canada is too expensive.

Still breaking in, but kinda surprised how much more bass this baby offers out of the box compared to my SR80e.

A wonderful headphone. Not laser forensic, but musically coherent with balance, detail, and PRAT (pace, rhythm, and timing). The best adjective that I can give Hemp: “jaunty”.

How is that ever supposed to happen until until they adopt detachable cables

Yeah but does Grado test with those amps?
