Kennerton has zero to do with war - it’s a non issue and a non starter - foolish to say other wise and embarrassingly ignorant to say less / please fellow head-fi friends let’s stay off politics -

If you will allow me, I am posting here a screenshot from one of the sites. This was published 6 or 7 years ago! This was published by me in response to accusations and calls to boycott Kennerton. You can find the original post in Internet easy. Moreover, many of you remember that on the main page of our site it was written "NO politics Zone!" ( It has been like this since 2015, but unfortunately, after a hacker attack on our site in December, everything had to be restored first, and not everything has been completely restored yet). My position has not changed. I wish everyone well and peace.
Hi Valentin.
Sincerely, we all hope for the "Мир" ;

but no longer refer to the Russian military industry in the manufacture of your Kennerton headphones, and also of your cables.

Apparently it's all down to getting the bassy pads, which are the perforated version of the Rognir Dynamic pads. Search for "bass pads" in the thread, should show up.Does anyone know if and how you can modify the Kennerton Rognir Planars from the Neutral version to the bassy version? I tried searching the post but it doesnt look like there is any discussion on the conversion process.
I thought it was the non-perforated but still angled version?Apparently it's all down to getting the bassy pads, which are the perforated version of the Rognir Dynamic pads. Search for "bass pads" in the thread, should show up.
From one of the earlier posts it seemed like one version had a silicon tube in the port and one did not.I thought it was the non-perforated but still angled version?
That's true but if you have the neutral version, you should order the ECL-03 MF which are the non-perforated version for a bass boost which supposedly will bring the sound close to the bass version. This is a much simpler solution than removing the silicon tube to physically convert it from the neutral to bass version.From one of the earlier posts it seemed like one version had a silicon tube in the port and one did not.
The stock pads that come with the bass version are the perforated pads ECL-01 MF (this is what kennerton told me last week)
Correct. I have the bass tuned headphones (no tube) and it came with the perf pads. I also ordered (before all this geopolitical craziness started) a set of the non-perf pads. Haven’t tried them yet but they may end up pushing the bass into extreme territory but I will experiment shortly.That's true but if you have the neutral version, you should order the ECL-03 MF which are the non-perforated version for a bass boost which supposedly will bring the sound close to the bass version.

Getting back to the reason we're all here: Kennerton Headphones (and Music).
A few days before the current situation unfolded, I tried this new "angled, non-perforated pads" that came with Rognir Dynamics on the Rognir Planar, and ... OMG .... I really like what I'm hearing, especially the bass. And they make the Rognir Planar much more comfortable too!
I had to get more of them!
So I went to check the website, and I saw the new "ECL-03 MF" ear pads.
I didn't notice this before ... previously I read somewhere here that we have to buy the ECL-01 and ask for the non-perforated ones. Now it seems we can get ones directly.
So I put my order in. Then, just about 2 days later the war broke out. So, it is still not shipped, and I don't know when would that be. It is totally understandable that they probably won't be able to do so in a foreseeable future.
Well, if the non-perf pads are overwhelming on my bass tuned pair, I’ll sell you mine if you are interested. I also picked up a spare set of the perf pads so I’m covered.Glad to see the thread back to where it belongs.
I talked about the ECL-03 MF pads yesterday (in an attempt to bring the thread back).
