🔶 Grado Ltd Edition Hemp

[CarpentersFan]

Thanks. I am kind of on the fence for what to get because I can get the Ananda for 600, and the DCA Aeon 2 Open for 700

[CarpentersFan]

I think I’ll get myself the sr80e first. If I like it I’ll get the hemp too

Try these pads on the SR80e. They sound similar to the Hemp’s tuning.

Ill have to try those. I know I’ll pick up the HEMPs again but won’t be for some time.

Have the SR80e and love them for what they are. If they can sound a little closer to hemp, amazing!

I use Testor’s model paint to touch up the black metal grills and tiny brush on mine. They also have silver that works on touching up the Grado Lettering on the prestige series.

I got a paint pen from restore that works great.

Got this email today. Gotta tip the cap to Grado for being all in on the theme here:

Agreed! I’m a little slow, but it just dawned on me that Grado changes $420 for these

Maybe these will be my next headphone purchase, just so I can chill out and listen to them on 4/20 each year…

[elementze]

Yeah, hard no from the wife, and…

… so all that means is I’ll watch the selling page for a “good deal” to come up

[sebastien_chiu_iFi]

They occasionally pop up around $320. Haven’t seen anything lower, unfortunately.

[Kate_Ang]

Where did you see them at $320?

[sebastien_chiu_iFi]

Just secondhand throughout various forums

[Kate_Ang]

Ahhh thanks for sharing! It’s hard to find them where I am. It’s currently mostly pre order at a much higher price, unlikely I’ll be able to get them secondhand. I’m contemplating if I should use a freight forwarder to to get them from US. I’m just a little worried about the warranty, since it’ll be difficult to send them back to US if it breaks

[mochimashu]

Amazon US sells them

[Kate_Ang]

Yea but the shipping and import fee is expensive to send to where I am

[mochimashu]

Should still be cheaper than local MSRP?

[Kate_Ang]

The price difference isn’t too significant. By the way, how is the build and quality of the headphones? The local seller provides 1 year seller warranty, but if I purchase from US Amazon, the warranty claim will be tricky

[A_COC0NUT]

Unless you are kind of rough with your gear, Grados tent to last year’s without any problems.

If you’re really concerned, you can always get Shipibo parts.

They're SO good... but also bad?? - Grado Hemp REVIEW
