I would wait until you can buy Kennerton HeartLand
HL >> Thekk > Wodan

Wodan are also great headphones, and if you want to save money, then you can safely buy Wodan - they are beautiful. If you don't listen to heavy genres, Wodan is perfect. But if you listen to metal in the same way, you need drive, bass, speed, then HeartLand (not Thekk)

Is the Heartland a replacement for the Thror?

No, this is Rognir's (bass-tuned) competitor

Hm, nice. Can you share some more pictures please?

I have shown everything. But as I said earlier, I think that the final design of the cups may change. This is purely my guess, because so far they look somewhat trivial.

It also makes no sense to show my pair of the HL, because there are the Thekk's cups.

Ah yes, ok. Indeed, let's see how they pan out in production mode. Thanks.

Can you tell me how much it is? I want to know the price of the rig. And I want to know when it will be released.

Is this a open version of the rognir ? I know the cups are thekk.... I'm just wondering if that's what you meant by rognir competitor.

 

[fullbass]

HL? I don't know exactly. It is better to wait for the official comment. I can only assume that the cost will be between Thekk and Rognir.
In my opinion, this is more of the Rognir level than the Thekk.

And I want to know when it will be released.

RIG?
I don't know when they will be available to foreign buyers.

 

[fullbass]

Is this a open version of the rognir ?

Something like, yes. But more full-bodied sound, more powerful bass, thicker mids. Therefore, I would say - an open version of the bass-tuned Rognir

I'm just wondering if that's what you meant by rognir competitor.

Heartland is Rognir's competitor. Please look just above my report on the exhibition and you will find these headphones there

Listened to my new Gjallarhorn last night for a few hours. Is it safe to assume that these need a good bit of burn in before they sound their best?
I'm not hearing that substantial sub bass that many have commented about. They don't sound very clear yet, like a slight haze or fog over the sound delivery. The first thing I noticed is that they don't seem to have quite the same level of attack and energy as my Magni. Transient response seems slower.

 

[rlawry]

Correct. I have a pair of Gjallarhorn GH50 JM Edition phones, since upgraded by John Massaria to Mark 2 level. And yes, I remember their being almost neutral in character for the first 50 hours or so and over that time they began opening up and the bass weight and dynamics became more prominent. Midrange also became more full-bodied. Of course the bass never reached Mark 2 levels but that is another story.

Yes they definitely need burn-in imo. I listened to Gjallarhorn before, and I would describe their sound as anything, but veiled/hazy. They sounded extremely engaging, and dynamic
