I agree. Detailed and maybe very slightly recessed but I wouldn't call the modded Vali dark by any means and there is good sparkle up top w/o getting harsh like for example an Arya pre-Stealth. The biggest thing is that the better bass control lets the mids and the treble breathe more so they are more recognizable in the mix.

Agreed

Regarding burn-in. Which volume should I use and what to choose from white noise, pink noise or sinus tone?

Just listen to your favorite music.

Please also do not discriminate against under-represented colours, such as orange noise.

I typically just let my music play on random at a slightly higher volume than I normally listen at. Kennerton does 300 hours of Burn in before they send out their headphones. So burning in probably wont change the sound much.

For me personally, I like to hear how the sound changes over time so I usually don't burn in my equipment, but that is probably not the norm. I know that on speaker-based systems most people use pink noise at normal listening levels. There are various burn-in CDs and other media so there is probably some type of burn-in recording on YouTube or other website.

Kennerton added a "win" section to there site. You can get ~$450 off on the Thekk once you win.

If you want the most bass, the GH50 JM should fit the bill. It's the only pair of headphones I have ever listened to that is too bassy for me~

I mean not only bass quantity but also punch, slam, hit.

Had the rognirs about 3 weeks now.

These have to be one of my favorites now.

Tried them with the ZMF pendant. Friggen fantastic pairing. Kinda interesting how these aren't really bassy headphones, but can reproduce bass quite well when the song calls for it.

I would also say the GH50 JM has the most slam, and punch of the Kennerton headphones I have tried. You can rule out any of the open backs since you want good punch, and the only closed back I have not listened to is the Rognir Planar (but I hear it's supposed to be slightly bright sounding, so you can rule that one out too). Neither the GH40 nor the Rognir Dynamic have nearly that large amount of slam either compared to the GH50 JM.

The 2 most bass heavy headphones would be the Vali Neoteric and the Gjallarhorn GH50 JM MK2. Right now you can get the Vali for $170 off with the win code. So it would probably be the best option. It has the most bass slam.

Or if you want a tighter bass you could get the JM version of the Vali, Which is also on sale. https://www.jmaudioeditions.com/product-page/vali-neoteric-baltic-sea-jm-editon-mk1

Looks like the Vali from JM is even more on sale. It is only $999 plus it comes with 2 sets of pads. If you are looking for a fantastic and bassy open back I highly recommend it. https://www.jmaudioeditions.com/product-page/vali-neoteric-baltic-sea-jm-editon-mk1
