Description
Grado Hemp, bought in October 2020 brand new. Really good condition, beautiful Hemp wood. Great sound, amazing bass for an open back headphone. Almost doesn't sound like Grado at all, closer to an Audio Technica, warmer and more laid back. Worn couple times

Price is firm

Includes 2 extra pads from Geekria (Geekria LL and Geekria G)

My RS2e is arriving sometime today, and I will be making the same comparison. I love the GH2, but am wanting to see what my ears / brain hear.

I'm curious what your impression will be. But to be fair, you should also fully burn in the RS2e first.

Did you buy all pads? They are out of stock

Just the one! I know there’s just one guy making them all so stock probably stays low. I’m really surprised there are only two makers out there making these kind of pads.

Hey guys, what is the best extension cord for my Hemps? Grado sells 2 versions, a 4 and 12 conductor vs the 8 that comes standard.

It's used, and the previous owner thinks he used it for about 25 - 30 hours, so I'll let it play overnight for several more days. But I'll start listening pretty quickly.

Do all the new RS2e's have that tan colored headband?

I think that look is super sexy. The normal black headband is okay, but that tan color really refines the look of the entire headphone. It just looks so vintage and so Grado-y in the best way possible.

I'm almost tempted to buy an RS2e just for that...

Pretty sure they do. I just got one last month and they are with a tan headband.

There are multiple aftermarket headband options that will fit any Grado, a slightly lower cost alternative!

My experience with the burn-in from the RS2e was that it still changed sonically up to 100 hours, while the GH2 already had its final sound almost out-of-the-box.

I would have preferred the tan headband as well, but my dealer had just received a shipment from the German distributor where the headbands were black. The brown band were probably the older models?

I bought my RS2e's in 2015 and they have the tan headband - this was around the time they were switching from black to tan. I was hoping the headband would be black, but in the end I really like the tan. I'd be surprised to see black ones again...

Grado sells the tan headbands for around $65 (shipped)...more or less what the aftermarket options cost.

Aftermarket vendors do give you more color options.

I wasn't aware that Grado sold their headbands... is it through 4OurEars or direct from Grado Labs?

The Hemps are so much fun with modern pop music. Listening to Dorian Electra right now and the extra warmth in the low end is really hitting the spot
