To be blunt…
Into the Unknown
In our never-ending pursuit to experiment with all types of woods and materials,
\we had the opportunity to build with hemp. We weren't sure how these hemphones
would turn out, but to everyone’s surprise it quickly became a favorite passed
around Grado. To be blunt, this is one of the best sounding Limited Editions
we've assembled.
The Sound of Wood.
Built from Hemp
The highly compressed hemp creates a damping effect between their fibers.
This produces a fuller sound, comprised of a noticeable low end and a top
end that extends smoothly to its limits. The hemp may be doing the heavy lifting,
but the hemphone is a joint effort. We placed maple into the housing to help
balance out the sound, and bring out the sonic properties that we’ve heard
maple produce.
Specifically Tuned.
Driver Focused
The Grado drivers in the hemp housings had to be specifically tuned for
a material we’ve never worked with before. Being paired with maple gave
us some foresight, but only through trial-and-error could we get the speakers
to sound how we wanted, and bring out the potential of the hemp.
Signature Sound.
High Expectations
The last seven decades has given us time to perfect our sound, letting
the headphones reveal new notes and details in songs heard hundreds
of times. The Hemp Headphone is a slow burn, constantly getting better
with every listen. As we make sure with every headphone we build our
Grado signature sound is ever-present, working in tandem with the
hemp and maple.
With Love.
Hand Assembled in Brooklyn
Each Hemp Headphone is hand assembled by our team in Brooklyn.
Fine rolled for every genre of music, hemp and maple work together for
the first time to bring a new level of vibrancy to our Limited Editions.
We started building on a kitchen table in 1953, and every experience
since then has led to the creation of The Hemp Headphone.
