So i literally found this little gem by accident. I found it posted as second hand, read around and got curious. Can this kennerton-but-improved closed back headphone really be an hidden diamond?
Yes it is!
It's a wonderful piece of DD mastery, capable of a wonderful frequency response, from airy pleasant treble to engaging basses. And i suspect its "horn loaded" driver has something to do with its high detail and response.
Beethoven 7th Simphony 92.1 Poco Sostenuto - Joe Hisaishi
Strings are a real pleasure to listen to, the instrument separation is great and i'd venture saying that it punches way beyond its price weight AND transducer type, coming really close to planar territory in speed and detail.
Riders on the Storm - The Doors
Drums are great, low and controlled, you can listen to the rain in the track closing your eyes as if you were right there, the voice is spaced and echoes around you, not a small feat in a closed back.
Guitar is great, again showing off its detail and speed of attack.
What Could Have Been - Sting feat. Ray Chen
Sting's voice is so intimate and deep, makes for one of the best musical renditions in my Headphone collection, pushing itself really close to maximum weights like the heartland and the LCD5. Full marks on this kind of tracks.
Komarovo (DVRST Phonk Remix)
I'm not very much into electronic music, but Atomic Heart's OST is quite something, and this song's rendition on the LSA HP2 is lovely, deep powerful bass, no slacking in speed and attack of the sound, all while never resulting bloated in the bass department nor sounding treble-fatiguing.
Eruption - Van Halen
The guitar at the beginning really needs some fast transducers, and the LSA-HP2 are more than up to the task to fully enjoy the incredible guitar solo. Again goes in the top of my personal collection!
As you can probably guess, i have been in love with this headset and i cannot stretch how much i am happy owning them, using them and thinking it's a closed back you'd never guess they sound so spacious!
They also introduced me to the wonderful world of kennerton, and i eagerly hope to find a HP-Diamond to test review and own!
I highly praise them and i think they deserve it!
EDIT: Sorry when i copied my review from my word document i missed some stuff!
