Were these made as a JOKE??? - Grado Hemp Headphones 

Na no

Oh my pkcell...

FRANK!

Mate these are sparkly

Ohh look what I found at Dick Smith!

+69 in shipping if they were more committed

You should see the Tesla shorts, lol

had to double check... XD

@Jacob Hallberg nahhh they'll be $420. Those mofo's have got New York levels of rent to pay, lol.

@Jacob Hallberg same

this should be top comment

Dude, yes. You nailed it!

Fuck now I can't unsee this

Yess

Agreed they look huuuge. Corks or perhaps yoyos stuck to your head.

They just wanted to make a 420 joke

The sound is staggering - but compared to their usual pricing that's exactly what they are lol. They're a brand item.

For $420, is at least expect in-line audio controls

Actually they make really headphones

@@LuvzToLol21 Grado isn't some lifestyle basic bitch brand, so don't expect features like that. Sound quality is what matters. Now with that being said, at $300+ you would expect a detachable cable or at the very least a better quality cable, but it's Grado.

Why not

@@momocamara Sorry for the late reply but they are open back so they bleed noise like crazy(people can hear your music). Also you can hear everything around you.

Of course they do, thats the Magic of the Open bags. But the Hemps don't bleed noise out, but let the noise in for soundstage, anyways Open bags arent meant for going outside.

also don't wear shorts during the winter: it lets all the cold air in.

@Hagen Meyer Grado Magic

A joint effort😂. I’m dying lol

why cant americans pronounce ibiza properly ? its ehbeefa not ibeeeezzaaaahh, this aint vengaboys

Always found Grados to have really irritating trebles for my taste (and checking measurement data it would seem that almost all their models do have a significant treble boost going on), but many people are fans, and otherwise they're capable headphones. But they're certainly not for everyone. =)

*30 years

@@girlsdrinkfeck Most people just read the word and say it how they are used to those letters working together. its the phonetic pronunciation typical for most words with those letters in it. You have to admit that its a unique pronunciation from the normal words we americans encounter. Ive never met someone from ibiza, or even had it come up in conversation, so i can see how someone would assume that its pronounced the way it looks. Theres no way someone would simply guess correctly that the z makes a "f" sound or that the first I makes an "eh" sound.

Yuuuup

Have they heard of a vacuum cleaner?

If only humanity invented a device, that is commonly used to suck in dust and hair off of the ground and that could also be used in this instance. Alas, I'll probably have to use my mouth like my life depended on it.

@@davidpierson Vacuum cleaners produce static electricity, it's not advised to use them on fragile electronic parts.

@@Lambalex Have you ever rubbed a balloon on your head as a kid to stick it on the wall? Yeah, using a vacuum cleaner for this is just fine.

their entire ad campaign was just full of puns im sure

And the others were 69$

Josh Hust it really is, their promotional material is CHOCK FULL of weed puns

@Shahbaz Amin they r detachable iirc

@@sushimshah2896 not really, you would have to glue new ones on

To be fair headphones in that price range not having easily replaceable earpads is pretty uncommon and a terrible design decision.

i bet he only uses tor for browsing

You can buy cheap replacement jacks. Just need to solder it on

My 8y old SR80s had its wires fail last year, so I modified them with detachable wire and also ran the wire for other cup over the headband, so no annoying Y split hanging under your chin. Also a coiled wire which gives more flex than typical straight one. Whole mod cost me maybe 10 bucks in materials. Though, requires soldering, hot glue, and a hot air gun for taking apart the cups.

I use my pair of SR60s for gaming... I found them lying around my house, barely used. They used to be my dad's 😂

The cable for my SR80 failed after 6 months. I repaired the cable by opening the cup, taking the time to even put a stopper to help the cable to not unsolder from the driver. Then it failed again after 3 months. After a while, I just stopped using them and bought Bluetooth Sennheisers... No more freaking cable!

@@GuillaumeB7 I just refuse to buy headphones without removeable cables. Surprisingly I've never actually broken one of them yet. The ports seem to just be more stable than attached cables.

He litteraly fucking forgot to talk about the sound. Which by the way is incredible

Sarcasm intended?

Chef Boyardee also got his start in Cleveland

Superman. Superman was made in Cleveland.

Michael Dwight that’s Kansas.

Them dan-dee cheese curls no doubt beat cheetoes tho

Exactly my first thought as well! lol

The hemp part looks like something that belongs in a guinea pig cage from a few feet away 😬

Do you soak'a 'da cork? You seem to be a real cork'a soaker.

Go to the channel Dankpods! They do what you're asking for all headphone reviews.

Those are different and this video sucks at representing it. Those are the most bassy grados ever and the experience is quite unique. Every sounds really close to you soundstage wise but in a way that make you feel like you're first row with still good instrument separation

What country are you talking about?

@@stefan514 North korea

@@jagjitsinghbhangoo6753 funnily enough cannabis is legal in N. Korea

Must be either Singapore, South Africa or Finland.

--- "Must be either Singapore, South Africa or Finland." @@iLoveTheseRemoras I for one (especially as Finn) am not really sure where you did pick the info that hemp would be illegal in Finland ( in fact, to quote from a website: "Unlike many other countries, Finland never passed a specific law banning hemp production. This meant that cultivation never fully disappeared, especially in rural areas. The 1990s saw a revival in the industry, and since then, hemp has become a vital part of the country’s economy again" ( to be fair, I for one am not fully certain why between 1950-1990 the hemp production went almost into zero in Finland; probably was because how "hip"-trend importing "everything" in general was during those years. EDIT: A summary after further research: World War 2 -> decline in fibre-plants in general -> both hemp and flax eventually got replaced by cotton-imports. I highly recommend to look for article called "History of Hemp in Finland" originally written by Erkki Laitinen )). A clarification: It is true that both "hemp" and "marijuana" are are both cannabis-plants. The main difference comes in the concentration of "tetrahydrocannabinol" (THC), which usually is less than 1% in hemp, while on selective-breeding this is often over 20% in marijuana-cultivation. In fact, the overwhelming amount of (normal) cannabidiol subdues the effect of THC, thus also making the "easy of pain" and other "stereotypical cannabis" / narcotic-effects pretty much non-existent in hemp. --- So yeah, in Finland you can find hemp production in pretty much all forms; from-to and everything between oils to cat-litter-pellets, to name couple of examples. Sure, we necessarily at the moment do not have a "power-production" in hemp-fibre-production that we would be making all the ropes needed for example. But we're getting back on this since hemp-business a little by little. ---

they also cost 420 lol

GOWACKAWALL epic jokes

haha

they know their consumers

I mean hemp is a good replacement for wood and paper in theory. For about 30 years it's been considered as a solution to cutting back on deforestation as hemp grows 20 times faster than trees and can be used for basically the same functions. It just not as durable for things that need tensile strength like building structures and buildings. It's just it requires a large change in how people view hemp for it to really be attainable. In theory it would be cheaper to do in the long run and less wasteful but again, people would need to be more accepting of hemp otherwise it's just going to lead to schools complaining about kids taking paper and burning it to get high.

@@Skylancer727 Looks like you've done your research. Well done.

The joke is on anyone who buys such expensive headphones.

@@Pwnstared wow, you just totally trashed the entire audiophile community. Where a normal" flagship" headphone are a least 2000, maybe 1000 for the lower end flagships.

laugh at grado sr60 e for 80 is basically the smame

@@adamcriticalthinking9423 They're similar looks, but not sound

I couldn't concentrate on the video because of the bubbles in the resin and cracks in the wood! 😂

Those thin earpads look so much like the cheap ones they used to throw on cheap headphones through the 80's and 90's i would hate wearing these for longer periods...

@@jkalash762 The funny thing is, they're not actually that thin. It's the mounting mechanism that makes them that way. In the video, it's shown that when the pad is put back on, about 3/4 of it is put on the driver/cup, leaving less than a quarter for your ear. Completely garbage design. No way they'd be comfortable for more than 30 mins.

My sr80s were uncomfortable for a while but after I stretched the headband out, they are very comfortable.

@@fishylogic222 Thank you! Grado's are meant to be stretched to fit your head, the earcups shouldnt press against your head too hard. Though it is on them for not saying it

Their SR80's are really good headphones though and are well respected in the audio community, and you can get them all day for around 100 bucks. These special editions are just for the meme.

Except they litteraly don't. The only grados to deviate from their house sound. If thats what the video is saying then its a bad video

the price is 420

Honestly, I think their build quality in general is pretty lackluster. Like you, I had nothing but trouble with my SR80's cables (exacerbated by the fact that I had a pair with the 1/4" connector and needed an adapter to 3.5mm since I got them second hand, so both the adapter and then the cable had issues at different times), and the way the earcups attach is so flimsy with those plastic caps, I think I had to glue those back on half a dozen or more times before losing one of them and finally giving up on the headphones altogether after all the issues.

@Clayton Salvigsen These cables really don't tolerate colder climates.

Absolutely my ps1000's left driver literally detached from the headband and I had to "glue" it back with flexseal

Haha... are they beautiful? No they do the job. 3 Grado's here: cables are just fine. Just be gentle with it.

RIP Grado SR60i! I loved them. Just hated the cable with fiery passion. It weighed more than the headphones.

But the meme potential

Are you not aware of Grado prices? It's like being surprised that some car named "Bugatti" costs a ton of money

Even more hilarious given that they have probably the best value headphones like the sr60 and sr80

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Cleveland may not have the best reputation but there are a lot of hidden gems.

@@nickbieber978 don't lie to these people. don't get their hopes up

I'm literally an audiophile who grows and consumes weed. Oh, also I'm a Mechanical Engineer for Ford, Tesla, and SpaceX. I have a few thousand in headphones and I'm literally looking at these. I have multiple Grados including DIY ones with Nhoord Red drivers. Yeah, I get these might be somewhat gimmicky, but as he said, I have money to burn.

Grados look flimsy but they last a long time

i honestly think the price has to do with the puns....

@@zakkyh7443 Grado offers repair services for their headphones, if for some reason you destroy them they can be fixed.

You're not wrong though. You can get a lot better built headphones for $420. Sure, they might sound incredible, but if you prioritize build quality and durability they might not be a great choice.

Yeah. After buying my cowin e7 for 60 bucks. I can't imagine paying hundreds of dollars for a headset. Maybe I don't get it, but my cowin e7 is is amazing and I love it. Its all the sound I need.

Same

At least it doesn't *sound* cheap.

They're one of the best known and respected makers of high-end headphones and phono cartridges, for 65 years. Often called the best available at any price. They are not advertised or sold in mass market outlets....they are famous, desirable among professionals musicians, engineers, wealthy audio lovers, and regular folks who hear that they are so far superior to "mass-market" brands that once you go Grado, you never go....back. So THAT's what music sounds like.....

I know right. Then all the ones that complain about time travel...

First

Imagine anyone looking at your comment that says: “First”

Head-ph-ones

no

Lol people are gonna act like this is not them...

Hahaha true
