You should definitely buy an HD650. :L3000:
wrong!
hd800, the flattest most neutral headphone out there. the only headphone in the world that could reproduce sound accordingly to how artists and sound engineers intended to. trust the golden ear god!

Yeah...good advice. It seems like the Hemp is the real deal (vs the HF3, which was just another flavor of the same).

I'm just waiting for someone not to like theirs so I can grab them from the sales forum. Maybe I'll lose patience and buy them new.

Freaking enablers.

I can't stand members who push people into buying yet another headphone. Shame on you. :beyersmile:
deep inside you want it, you just don't know it yet....dew et...

My Hemps will be here Weds and then I will send my 14 year old SR325i for 2nd recable and a replacement of one of the gimbal headband attachments. Show me another set of cans that you can use daily for 14 years without more of it falling apart. Oh yeah, only on my 2nd or 3rd set of pads too.

I'm rethinking picking up a small amp (LD I+, Schiit Magni 3+, Mono Desktop?), my AVR has good power but you cannot disable the Dolby features and I'm not a fan of that. What's the current favorite for Grados in the $1-200 range?

Any actual reviews on the Hemp? I love my rs2e but if the Hemp is different enough I may go for it. Of course it is more expensive in the land of smiles.
I'll sign an affidavit testifying that the Hemp are, in fact, totally wicked awesome but I'm not familiar with the RS2 for comparison.

I just bought my second pair of Senns in a month!:scream:
I bought the HD660's on an open box special and have been impressed. Several months ago I took in a pair of HD600's in on trade. They were underwhelming me on all my SS/hybrid amps, but Really sang on a tube amp. I decided to get rid of them as just a one amp headphone. But every time I use my tube amp, I think about them. Also curious about what my new amps could do with them? Just bought a six month old used pair for about half of full retail price. I must admit that am a little excited. For the second time, I am a double Senn owner (In the winter it was HD600 and HD58X). Kind of weird for a guy that professes not to be a big Senn fan.:smile:

From all of the positive feedback of the Hemp, I'm tempted to get one. But in my situation, either the Hemp gets sold after a week because it realistically won't hold a candle against the GS3000e, or it's actually a giant killer with G pads. It's likely that the F pads are the most major contributing factor to its more neutral frequency response. However, I honestly can't use anything other than the G pads after being used to them for many years now.

The Hemp might get smoked by a GS3000e. That's setting the bar really high.

"The Hemp might get smoked..."

I see what you did there

We will never, ever know how the Hemp stack up against the GS3000e unless you take one for the team. :sunglasses:
