Grado The Hemp Headphone

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.

Introducing Hemp Headphone Limited Editions. Regardless of your initial skepticism about the term ‘hemphones,’ these unique open-back headphones have quickly become a favorite among the Grado community in Brooklyn. Crafted with hemp housings, a novel material for us, these headphones boast a distinctive and appealing design. The Hemp Headphones are among the best-sounding limited-edition models we've ever produced.

The compressed hemp not only enhances the visual allure but also creates a damping effect between fibers, resulting in a fuller sound with a prominent low-end and smooth treble. To achieve a balanced sound, Grado incorporated maple into the housing. Leveraging prior experience with maple, the team tuned the drivers to complement the unique qualities of the Hemp. Through a process of trial-and-error, Grado successfully aligned the presentation with their signature sound, a culmination of seven decades of audio excellence. The collaboration of Hemp and Maple in these Limited Editions brings a new level of vibrancy to our headphone lineup. Experience the synergy of these materials firsthand and immerse yourself in the rich audio legacy that Grado Labs has meticulously cultivated over the years.
