If you just want to try Grado get an SR60e for 80 bucks. It's a true Grado and it's surprisingly good, especially for the price.
Hey - new to the Grado Party/Fan club but purchased a pair of Rs2e this fall after such great reviews on here. Have not been disappointed in the least - love them and have been using every day. Looking to purchase another pair to compliment these - I've been reading through the posts (lots of them) and looks like the Hemp is a good next buy (?) or at least one that has been recommended. Open to suggestions though (GH series? GS series?).
My system and listening preference is 90% analog source into a Liquid Platinum with a mix of 50/50 jazz/rock. Thanks in advance.
You should just get the Sr80e new for about £90 . That will give you a good idea. And you can still try different cushion / pads on them. . Before spending £400.If I want to step into the world of Grado, are RS2e a good starting point? Are these good representation of the "Grado" house sound?
Want to add a Grado to my collection, and not necessarily looking for the next step up nor trying to break the bank. Seems like there's a cult, and curious to experience first-hand as to why.
Thanks.
The Hemp can even compete with some headphones that I have paid more than $1000..
In your experience the Hemp are better sounding than GS1000e/2000e/3000e?
I just got my first pair of Grados and I love them way more than my other headphones so far! as well my Shipibo earpads and sandblasted gimbals just shipped today! I can’t wait to get these upgraded as it's my first time modding headphones in any way at all, I hope the camel colored leather headband I chose from Turbulent Labs will look nice with the hemp cups and new gimbals
(Random DIY side note, I also just bought some turbulent drivers (over the symphone drivers on recommendation from fleasbaby for comfort reasons), I’m waiting for the R1C driver to be released by Elleven Audio thanks to his heads up, and I’m talking with him about ordering some fairly custom cups (his words were very opulent) as well to fully put together a pair of headphones myself, and that seems fun to look forward too)
Very nice. I modded my SR225e recently with new wood cups, metal gimbals, a Turbulent Labs headband, and a new cable. It was fun to do. Definitely want to try my hand at building one from scratch at some point, too.
Definitely thinking about metal gimbals for the Hemp, but I've been kinda worried that they might crack the wood.
Put Grado G cushions on your GH2 and you'll have your "super Grado".Let's say I loved the gh2 grade and was looking for a super gh2, seeing that they had the same wood led me to confusion ...
Would really love to hear the PS-1.Has anyone ever heard the sound of PS1s with Duchess Crown cable? I have both, and I'm going to re-wire em with fp-705 rhodium connector.
I am looking forward to the grado endgame combination of them.
They're nice!Would really love to hear the PS-1.
