With removable cables...for the likes of me. :sunglasses:
They could even sell Hemp themed cables as an add on. Green cables with a leafy pattern, white cables that look like rolling papers, black with a flame motif . . . just hire us as your marketing directors Grado. PM me, we'll talk :wink:

Even if the cables are pink with little white flowers, or purple with little blue unicorns...I don't care...as long as they are removable cables.

Has anyone ever stopped and counted how many different Grado headphones there are?

Between the 5 Prestige and 2 Reference models (each with 3 generations), the Statement and Professional series, the Heritage models, the dozens of Limited Edition and collaboration models, the wireless and in-ear models, the Alessandro versions, and of course, all the discontinued headphones like the SR40, HP1000, and the old numbering scheme (ie. SR100 and SR200), Grado is probably nearing 100 headphones by now.

Grado spliff, why not just really go for it?

We could have the Grado Himp for South Africa, the Grado Hump for the kiwis and Aussies, the Hyemp for Asian markets, and 'emp for the UK.

I heard from a local Grado dealer that the Hemp will be discontinued very soon.
They were issued as a limited edition. They never said when they would discontinue/run out. Thanks for the update!

When I purchased my RS1e's I got them at Moon Audio. I asked that they mod the headphones before sending to me. I have a removable Black Dragon cable

GH3 came in! For those keeping up, I got the SR80e a few weeks back and loved them, but i wanted something a little less shrill. I got the RS2e and while sound wise they were ideal, the comfort left a lot to desire. So I have returned the RS2e and purchased the GH3.

They are everything I wanted from the SR80e upgrade. They keep the comfort I loved about the SR80e, most of the excitement, and none of the shrill. Music sounds really analogue on these. Like you’re hearing a band perform in a wooden cottage. I’m sure the Norwegian Pine housing has something to do with the warmth. They don’t sound as complete as the RS2e, but for me effortless comfort is more important. GH3 is somewhat of the middle ground between the two. I’m going to keep listening and give more impressions later on. But it sounds really warm and exciting at the same time!

I still wonder why you didn't put S pads on the RS2e, or if doing so was detrimental. Regardless, at least you're happy and that's what matters. Enjoy

While it’s not exactly same, i put the yaxi pads on them to try and it was a muffled mess. Grado probably tunes their headphones to match the earpads, so i would feel “better” with a headphone tuned to the pads i find comfortable.

In the last few days I had to admit to myself that the current Grado models (possibly with the exception of the GS2000e, which I have not yet tested) are simply too dark for me in terms of sound. I know that I'm more of an exotic here with this preference, but that's how it is. I'll keep my GS1000i and the old RS2 because I just like the old Grado sound better (more high frequency energy and transparency). That's why I'm selling my GH2 and the RS2e. Both are as good as new. Bought at official grado dealers and only a few months old. If you are interested, please contact me.

Looking on ebay UK. The grado gh range seem to be only selling from Italy. And noticed the Gh3 as full pads , and the Gh4 the open L type pads . What's the pads on the Gh2 like ?
