    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...

    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 ?

    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...

    Hello. As an HP-1 owner, I am interested in a comparison between HP-1 and HP-Diamond. Thank you. Philippe.

    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.

    Hello. I use myself an LSA HP-1. And seeing you own a lot of flagships much more expensive, what do you think of the HP-1 in comparison ? Thank you. Philippe.

    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...

    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...

    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.

    Hello Eric. The exact weight is now on the Kennerton website : Silky Walnut : 394 g Bog Oak : 406 g Walnut : 414 g Beech Dark Coffee : 436 g Teak : 442 g Bubinga : 452 g Walnut is 8 g more than Bog Oak...

    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...

    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/

    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).

    Not so closed, judging by this little grid on the rear of the cups ... Even a little less than the Magni or GH 50.

    Nobody noticed the cup under the Baltic Sea ones ? It looks like a Kennerton " Feinakustik Revitaler Pro " before engraving ..... https://kennerton.de/produkte/feinakustik-revitaler-pro

    But it's exactly the same split !!! Only the name was changed : Planars ---> High End. Electrodynamics ---> "Regular". :thinking:

    Happy new year everybody. One thread for every Kennerton model is perhaps too much. So, I propose 3 threads : - Kennerton electrodynamics. - Kennerton planars. - Kennerton IEM. Philippe.

    Hello Eric. " has to do " - not really. The HP-1 seems to not lack sub-bass as much as the other Kennerton planar. Only 5 to 6 dB at 20Hz. The FR curve is really more flat under 50 Hz. Different bass tuning for USA maybe ? Even without EQ, sub-bass is really there. It is only slightly more...

    :scream::scream::scream: 1,500 € !!! :scream::scream::scream: And same price for the Magni-clone and the GH 50-clone !!! Nope, thank you Eric..... Even more expensive than my good (not so) old LSA HP-1 with import taxes (less than 1,300 €). Who are those crazy german people ? Philippe

    May be you could tell to Bonddam the differences between Thekk and HP-1 ? (To tell the truth, I'm also curious to hear that .... :o2smile: ) Philippe.

    I don't need anything else than my RME ADI-2 DAC fs (version 3 with AKM AK4493 and big remote) and my LSA HP-1. I never heard the Thekk, but maybe the LSA HP-1 (made by Kennerton for LSA) could be the solution to your problem. And for half the price of a Thekk. To simplify, the HP-1 is a Thekk...

    Yes, ECL-01. Perfect bass for me, except the slight roll off under 50 Hz. And the roll off of my ears under 30 or 35 Hz ..... Philippe.
