IT'S GONNA BE A HEAD TO HEAD BATTLE WITH THE BEYERS. ONLY ONE CAN REMAIN.YOU DID IT
The thing is at $200 + cost of moon audio cables it's approaching the cost of a whole new copy of the hemp since it's only $420. At that rate could just have a dedicated 3.5mm,1/4" and dedicated xlr pair if you are going to switch frequently enough to justify removable cables.For $200 (at least)? Not exactly the same thing as a Grado with detachable cables.
Moon Audio is not cheap, but they are one of the few I would trust to make this mod with a brand new unit.

Ah but keep in mind I really don't like the HD800. The Hemp caught my attention because I like warmer headphones and the 177x has a beefy low end. So it's a possibility for either to win this battle and I think it's gonna come down to the Beyer's impact vs the Grado's energy and I am mega excited to see who wins.Spoiler: the beyer's gonna lose
Hemp + hd800s = ultimate combo
Thats why the hemp and hd800s are ultimate combo, they are super different. Hemp gives you the raw and dirty power, hd800s gives you the precise technical finesse. Use the one that works best for specific content.Ah but keep in mind I really don't like the HD800. The Hemp caught my attention because I like warmer headphones and the 177x has a beefy low end.

Keep in mind you might have to adjust the headband when you first get them. People (myself included) felt it was somewhat unbearable out of the box.Ah but keep in mind I really don't like the HD800.

I ain't too concerned there. I've dealt with Audeze and Kennerton, these can't be any worse.Keep in mind you might have to adjust the headband when you first get them. People (myself included) felt it was somewhat unbearable out of the box.
WD40?So guys, as you know I bought the GH3 second hand. It's in amazing shape, but I must say the gimble attached to the ear cups "sticks" a bit. Where as with the hemp, and my SR80 it's just fluid adjusting on the ear cups. I wonder wondering what options do I have? Get it replaced by Grado? Spray it with something? Deal with it?
Todd the Vinyl Junkie sells flat pads that are by all accounts exactly the same as Grado's.I've called Grado a couple times asking when they would have replacement pads for the Hemp (stock). I've not checked in a while. Do any of you have any insights regarding availability?
Thanks! I haven't checked out his web-site since I order my Grado Head-F1 headphones.Todd the Vinyl Junkie sells flat pads that are by all accounts exactly the same as Grado's.
Ordered the deluxe edition. A few $$ more. I'll let you know if there are any sonic differences. Based on the recent comments I changed the stock pad with the G pads. Definitely a good sound to my ears. Listening to the Dead, tube amp, and the Hemp......Thanks! I haven't checked out his web-site since I order my Grado Head-F1 headphones.
I only ever use my Hemps for listening to the Dead. ✌Ordered the deluxe edition. A few $$ more. I'll let you know if there are any sonic differences.

they were reeling and rockin', what a crazy sound. They never stopped rocking till the moon went down. Last song before encore. PeaceI only ever use my Hemps for listening to the Dead. ✌
