Hemp
From Limited Release to Lasting Classic
Originally introduced in 2020 as a limited edition, the Hemp began as an experiment in materials and tone. What started as a playful exploration quickly developed a following among listeners who appreciated its weight, warmth, and rhythmic drive.
The response secured the Hemp’s place as a permanent model within the lineup.
The Classic Series updates the original design with Grado’s newer X2 driver platform, along with refreshed cable and headband components for a more refined modern build.
44mm X2 Dynamic Driver
The Hemp uses Grado’s 44mm X2 dynamic driver built around a Mylar diaphragm, copper voice coil, and rare earth magnetic system.
The tuning favors a fuller and more grounded presentation.
Signature Silver Headband Assembly
The Hemp incorporates Grado’s Signature Silver headband assembly sharing the same engineering foundation as the Signature Gold system.
A leather headstrap with contrasting white stitching provides comfort while the internal steel spring band allows listeners to easily adjust clamping pressure.
Signature Silver Cable
F Cushions
The Hemp ships standard with Grado F cushions, bringing the driver closer to the ear and reinforcing its immediate and engaging presentation.
Like all Grado cushions, they also act as a tuning element, allowing listeners to personalize their headphones by experimenting with different cushion styles to subtly adjust tonal balance and presentation.
Bi-Wood Housing — Hemp & Maple
The Hemp features a bi-wood housing constructed from hempwood and maple.
Hempwood contributes natural damping and tonal warmth helping shape a presentation that feels grounded and physical while maple provides structural stability at the driver interface.
Beyond its acoustic qualities hempwood also reflects a more sustainable approach to material sourcing as hemp fibers can be cultivated and replenished far more rapidly than traditional hardwoods.
