You remind me of my chemistry teacher in boarding school; when using nitric acid in an experiment, he would say: ‘if a little bit’s good a whole lot’s better’ .
Dekoni Audio Custom Fenestrated Velour Replacement Ear Pads for Grado Headphones
is anyone out there using these with the Hemp? My headphones are on the way, and of course I’m looking at accessorie! I suppose I should wait and just try the stock pads. In the end would sacrifice a little comfort to preserve the sound quality. Any opinions/advice are most appreciated.

I didn't care for them. They will keep the drivers pretty far from your ears. The Shipibo's are working best for me. And the BA pads are Really amazing on them.

I wouldn't recommend them for the Hemps. I had them with the SR80e and found that they added a bit of a bass shelf to them (even if they put distance between the driver/ears). So it was actually nice on the 80e to tame the brightness at times. On the Hemp, could be too much of a good thing.
I opted for ZMF Beyer+ pads as they don't really mess with the stock sound nearly as much as the Dekoni does and still gives me that comfort.
But the stock pads really do the best for the signature in my opinion. YMMV as always.

I agree with @Slade01 and @JonathanC that the Hemps really prefer the stock flat it was designed around or TTVJ’s deluxe flats that feel a little softer to me.
On the other hand I certainly can understand the fun of pad rolling on the lower end models to hear the differences you might come across.
Not to forget the factoid that Grado OEM pads will break in comfort wise after sufficient play time. Additionally if you are not adjusting (bending) the headband to “find” the best fit for both comfort and sound performance then you have not done your share to bring out their best. Even a slight change of where the ear is positioned can reap real rewards. I have more than a few Grados and used to be an authorized dealer for them and this fine tuning can pay real dividends. I only have one Grado with non Grado pads, my GH2 with Beautiful Audio hybrid pads. A recommendation from one of the old timers.
Oh, my mistake, I always thought it was a high security prison with moats and crocodiles. I never would have said all those things about you if I had but known.

I have the straight velour (non-fenestrated) ones and love them with Hemp and GH2. Orders of magnitude more comfortable than the scratchy, ear-flattening stock pads, all the details are present and because they're over-ear you get a bit more isolation from outside sounds.
