Very nice. What is the sound signature like on Arkona? How is the performance with the new paper planar driver? How does it compare to other headphones you may have heard?Arkona has arrived
How do they compare to Rognir?

Is there any idea on what the pricing will be on the Arkona?

They have some Kennerton frendly overall goodness in common, but different sound signature. Not upgrade or downgrade - different branch. More details to come a bit later, not a fan of fast conclusions.

Eager to get updates! If you can, could you also compare them to the Heartland Planar?
Why did choose them over the new open back?Arkona has arrived
In my opinion Rognir planar closed back its the best HP on the world

I feel that way about all Kennertons. I have a Wodan, LSA Diamond, LSA HP1, and Thror. All in my opinion are some of the best I’ve ever heard at honestly any price point. Kennerton makes magical headphones.In my opinion Rognir planar closed back its the best HP on the world
I hope to pick up a Vinneta this June.
Did u heard the rognir?

Here's what I read and what I understand about them..
Heartland - Very good bass and darker sound signature. AMAZING mids and incredible vocal presence. Highs are smooth and non-fatiguing
Rognir - Neutral bass and treble, laid-back vocals, but heavy emphasis on instruments (great for metal / rock). I suspect recessed upper midrange but emphasized lower midrange?
Would you agree with this? From what I read, I actually think I might prefer Heartland if this description is correct.

What type of drivers do the new headphones use?
