Hello guys. As owner of a HP-1, I confirm. To simplify, HP-1 is a Thekk with Odin drivers ( steel frame ), and a tuning very close to the Thekk. In the own words of Valentin ( Kennerton CEO) : " The difference of HP-1 and Odin: Actually, HP-1 have more similarities with Thekk than with Odin...- Hartford

Hello. I own a LSA HP-1. Is there really a big difference in sound between the HP-1 and the Wodan ? Is the price difference justified ?- Hartford

When I asked for the FR curve for my new headphone, Valentin send it very quickly. And it is not even a Kennerton, it's a LSA HP-1. I know another Kennerton owner who got it also quickly without problem. So this is strange and not at all "Kennerton style". Maybe are they temporarily too busy ? I...- Hartford

Hello Eric. It's better. But compare to this picture, which is very close to my own HP-1, just a little too orange : Source : https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/lsa-hp-1-headphones/ Philippe.- Hartford

The Odin was sold 1950 € by Kennerton, around 2360 $. My HP-1 is sold 1399 $ by Underwood. More than 40.7 % less. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: The Wodan is sold 2222 €, around 2690 $. The future HP Diamond is sold 1999 $. So in this case it would be only 25.7 % less ? The Rögnir is sold 2850...- Hartford

Indeed, I saw this on tne Underwood website : " A line of planar headphones, the HP-1, HP-2 Ultra horn loaded phone and HP-3 Nova, all now shipping. The new HP-Diamond is amazing and will start shipping at $1999.00 in late May in very limited quantities. " Considering the price and the date...- Hartford

So the Rögnir is a lot more linear and neutral with perforated ear pads than with the pads they sell with the headphone ??? Strange !!! :thinking: Philippe.- Hartford

100 % agree. For me, I don't even need the ECL-02. The bass level and impact is more than enough with the stock ECL-01 pads. By the way, if you look at the reponse curve of the HP-1, you can see that it is the headphone that have the less roll off in the sub-bass in the Kennerton planar family...- Hartford

Small ??? Driver alone is 80 mm wide. Cups are probably 10 cm wide like on my LSA HP-1 and other Kennerton planars. Earpads are also probably 105 mm wide like all Kennerton planars' earpads and full over ear. Look at the size here : https://kennerton.org/shop/ecl-01/- Hartford

And also no holes on the earpads, unlike the open planars (These open planars can't work whithout holes on the earpads, according to Valentin).- Hartford
