Hello to all.
Did you know that there was a Kennerton sales site for the Russian market?
Yes, probably; on the Russian Kennerton site the prices are indicated in ruble and adapted to the Russian market.
But did you know that the descriptions of these Kennerton headphones were slightly different between the Russian site (
https://kennerton.store/catalog/headphones/) and the international Kennerton site (
https://kennerton.org/shop/headphones/)?
An "international" ear having a priori no reason to hear a headphone differently from a Russian ear (from Moscow or St Petersburg), I have reported here the descriptions of the
Thekk and the
Rognir, as described on the Russian site by Kennerton (after google translate).
DESCRIPTION (Kennerton Thekk)
The Thekk is one of the lightest full-size High-End isodynamic headphones on the market, with a full 80mm Russian-made honeycomb diaphragm.
Conceived as an ultimative and reference version for studio and home use, the Thekk allows you to forget about everything around you.
Highest sonic fidelity, natural tonal tuning and no distortion with low amplifier power requirements.
At the heart of the design is an 80mm kapton diaphragm with a unique "honeycomb" structure that protects the diaphragm from stretching and distortion under active use and reduces distortion under high amp power requirements.
The driver casing is made of carbon fiber, which greatly reduces the weight of the driver and the headphones as a whole (compared to Kennerton Odin and Kennerton Thridi).
The ear cushions are designed to provide ample ventilation for your ears and the driver itself.
The fill material makes the ear cushions both soft enough for extended listening and dense enough to maintain the correct distance from your ear to the driver.
The weight of the headphones can vary depending on the specific wood
Lightweight design, self-adjusting headband and genuine leather ear cushions provide superior comfort for long-lasting listening. Comes in a practical and comfortable semi-rigid case made of high-quality eco-leather.

DESCRIPTION (Kennerton Rognir)
The Kennerton Rognir is the first magnetic-planar closed-ear headphones that our company produced. We have experimented and prototyped a lot and after years of development we are ready to show you.
A advanced carbon planar driver with a reinforced kapton diaphragm, specifically designed and developed for these headphones, delivers a perfectly-proportioned soundstage, and unprecedented accuracy in capturing the emotion of your favorite tracks.
The focus is on detail and resolution, without compromising on the full spectrum of the widest frequency range, and the scene appears extremely open and multi-layered.
Rognir is a near-perfect tonal balance that is very difficult to find in other planar closed-ear headphones. Due to the advanced technology used in the headphone driver, as well as the specially designed wooden cups, made exclusively from rare and expensive wood species, Rognir exhibits a perfect synthesis of design and technical excellence in sound.
Design is also key, both in terms of comfort and aesthetics.
We use natural materials such as steel, aluminum, genuine leather and precious woods for the most refined look.
Comfort is facilitated by the self-tuning headband in a new and improved design, as well as natural leather ear cushions, which together ensure a flawless fit, regardless of the shape and size of the listener's face and head.

EDIT: The Rognir is currently being used at the Moscow Hi-end show (21-23 May) in two versions (one so-called "fun" or "bassier" (with more bass) (probably with the stock non-perforated pads) and the other so-called "correct or straight" (probably with the alternative micro-perforated pads). Both versions seem very musical.
