Grado The Hemp Headphone With Braided Cable

This new version of The Hemp includes the braided cable found on X Series Grado headphones.

The first of its kind, hemp finds yet another purpose in The Hemp Headphone.

A brilliant, warm, and precise sound rolled into a Limited Edition Grado.

You’ll notice more substantial bass response than other Grado headphones, while still enjoying the signature smooth extension into higher frequencies. 

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 favourite passed around Grado. To be blunt, this is one of the best sounding Limited Editions we’ve built.

The Sound of Wood.

Built from Hemp

The highly compressed hemp creates a damping effect between their fibres. 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 built maple into the housing to help balance out the sound, and bring out the sonic properties that we’ve heard maple produce.

With Love.

Hand-Built in Brooklyn

Each Hemp Headphone is hand-built 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.
