Does anybody knows which pads are on the hemps? Standard or deluxe? Thanks.

Standard if yours do not have these pen marks. Deluxe have the pen prick.

Geez the used Hemps on in the for sale forums sure disappear about as fast a graphics card in the current market geez lol. The last 3 people I inquired with on buying their Hemp's told me that they were sold before I could even say hi.

TTVJ says that the Hemp comes with standard flat. This was discussed a few pages ago. I put deluxe pads on my Hemps and can't say I noticed much difference - if anything, just a little smoother in the highs, I think.

Just buy them new. They are limited edition, and they are a steal at 420.

One benefit of buying the Hemp new is that you can request that Grado remove the badge from the grille. I asked TTVJ if that was something he’d be able to take care of for me and, sure enough, mine arrived without the badge

Actually... that might be enough justification for me to just buy it new. Plus that is kinda nice a customized.

I noticed zero difference between the deluxe and standard flat.

About to do a shootout of the SR-80e with the stock and L pads vs the Hemp. Interested to see if it is mostly the 'flat' pads which send the Hemp across the line

I only have the SR-60i, but I've got the stock, L, and TTVJ deluxe pads. I like the L best for comfort, the TTVJ give a bit of a bass boost, but have smaller sound stage. Depending on what I'm listening to, I bounce between L and the flat pads. I really wish I had somewhere local I could demo the Hemp or the RS2e.

Curious, did they give you the badges loose since you wanted them off or none at all?

Thanks for your help

Short time after my post, i‘ve got mails from Grado and Todd.
Gradoservice: we will have stock sometime in May
Todd: We are currently out of stock on the Flat pads but has a few pair of the deluxe version left. The Deluxe Flat Pads are treated and sound mor open than the stock flat pads. Once these are out of stock, we won’t have any more until June or later.

btw. Dekoni is also working on some aftermarket pads for Grado.
Dekoni: We are working on pads for the Grado but do not have a release date planned.

Sbaf has done some measurements.

Yeah, kinda starting to think the deluxe pad might be the standard flat, just with a higher price tag.....smells a bit like a racket.

To whom it may concern, i did some more testing. The Shipibo earpads have a similar effect on the sound as the TTVJ/F-pads. They are of course way more comfortable.

Interesting, DMS just added the Hemp to his sub-$1k headphones list, with a “pending” note.

That means he’s planning on reviewing them soon.

I’m curious to see what he thinks, as he’s not a Grado guy, but he’s likely giving them a spin after Zeos raved about them.

I have never heard of DMS before you quoted him. I´m not sure what to think about ZEOS reviews meanwhile...
I only like The HEADPHONE Show actually.
