Nice pics Eric. (Your son with a Stax 009!) Still impressed with how beautiful the birch Odin is.

Thanks. 

 
These two copies of the Odin, destined for the French market, are not bad either, with the cups in Zebrano wood and the earpads in dark brown leather ; Otherwise, the color of the wood and the leather of these two Odin in Zebrano wood is very warm, much like the Odin of r one, in african Bubinga wood.

The greatest mystery of creation, by Kennerton ?

 
Prototype headphones back closed ?

 

[ithilienrp]

That wood back-cover reminds me a lot about the Audeze LCD-XC.

 

[eric65]

I think it is more a back closed electrodynamic headphone; It seem me distinguish an electrodynamic driver on the photo (upper part) with the lid (back) removed.
 
But I could be wrong ...

 

[ithilienrp]

I have no idea about what kind of headphones. I only mean the back-covering wood.

 

[ithilienrp]

The circular shape, the screw positions, etc. (and, yes, this is my XC)

 

[eric65]

The rear back-covering wood seems very "basic" for construction for this new headphone (here a prototype); Perhaps it is not that which will be produced finally ? ; Or if it is the one of series, it will be probably used for a very affordable headphones; But at what price?
(<1000 or <500 US dollars?)

 

[eric65]

Hello again.
 
The same picture as above but clearer.
 

 
The construction seems light for assembly but properly realized.
 
The driver is an electrodynamic (size? / type?) ; difficult to say because seen from behind.
 
Will the price will be light too?
 
We wait with interest ...
 
PS : Kennerton Team : Can you clarify that?

wow wow wow ! A jewel..I loooove !

wow wow wow ! A jewel...I loooove !

 
It still lacks one or two "wow" and an "o" at loooove, my dear Jerome! 

 
Happy french who ordered these two superb Odin, in Zebrano wood finish!
 
The luxury headphone par excellence, a little vintage in its presentation as a good old Jaguar or a Rolls-Royce vintage; But what a sound! Especially when this headphone is very well amplified, such as for example your EC balancing act headphone amplifier or even my Viva 2A3 amp.
 
Otherwise, for the small heads with a sensitive scalp, the Kékénnerton secondary headband (version V2 seen on the previous page) manufactured by a French shoemaker is a valid option, cheaply; the original headband, possibly doubled on the inside of an additional padded extra thickness (as for my two Odin : see picture below) makes the wearing comfort quite acceptable for very long listening sessions.
 

 
Kennerton Odin = sensual listening pleasure guaranteed, without asking any questions; music pleasure; That's all!

Had a chance to briefly listen to a new prototype of a closed back portable headphone yesterday at a local meet
It is in a very pre-alpha version, with some oem enclosure and awful plastic headband and earpads, but the sound is already looks (sorry) like Kennerton house sound.
An Odin/Vali sound in a portable form would be very nice for hifi-addicted travellers.

The tree that hides the forest!
 
The forest being (for the year 2017 ?):
 
New Magister (mk2)
New Vali "closed back"
New planar headphone more economical than the Odin.
New electrodynamic headphones using a 50 mm driver with a "Washi" paper membrane.

Андюх, да ты их и не послушал нифига))) Тут нужен фидбек Игоря)))
В офис заглядывай и послушаешь с Флюкса. Думаю ты проникнешься. 
Ну и думаю можно очень осторожно озвучить, что я очень надеюсь уместить розничный ценник в 250 баксов (с разбросом от 200 до 300) и что скорее всего моделька выйдет под Фишером, а не Кеннертоном. Внешний вид будет совершенно другим относительно прототипа. Пока еще нет окончательного решения, что это будет за модель и как мы ее будем производить. Есть только готовый звук и сильное желание сделать портативную закрытую модель с ультимативным качеством звука для такой цены. Эх, инвестора бы на нее...
