The Hemp Headphone

Limited Edition

High Fidelity

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.

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 built. 

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 built 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 built into 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.

My favorite Grado to date!

I love Grado. So, when I read all of the positive talk on the internet about the Hemp, I had to have a pair for myself. I was able to score a good deal on Audio46. They sound leagues above my other Grados SR325e, SR225e, SR225x, SR225, SR80, SR80e. These headphones sing with the right amplifier. I paired the Grado hemp with many amplifiers and found that it sounded AMAZING with the Darkvoice 336SE. For around $600 this combo kills rock music. I love this pairing and recommend it to all rock music listeners everywhere.

SR225e upgrade

I auditioned these at Audio46, tempted to buy but didn't. A few days later I couldn't resist and bought it online. These have super fast drivers like sr225e's, thus they sound effortless and lively. With stock pads they are very punchy and energetic (and feels like my well-driven hd650); with Geekria L or Grado L pads, they sound super transparent like the 225e's, but have richer mids and punchier bass. They are also more refined and provide deeper depth. I'd call these "super sr225e."
