They have one in Headphone Bar in Vancouver. Not sure how much he is carrying though.

I checked and out of stock. I sent them a message. Thanks

Hey does anybody here mind sharing the Rognir Dynamic frequency response graph with me? I could not find anything about it when I searched online, and only the Rognir (planar) graph showed up

I had a chance to try the Rognir Dynamic at CanJam (the planar version was not there unfortunately). My initial impression was it reminded me of the GH50. I can't comment on the sound details because there was so much going on and it all got mixed up in my head at the event. But the earpads were a bit shallow for my taste. Maybe my ears stick out too much.

Random commentary on the GH50 JM Mk2 - I was watching Joshua Valour on YouTube for entertainment value and he mentioned one of his favorite headphone bass response testing tracks was Losing the Light by Explosions in the Sky. I took that as a sonic challenge for @John Massaria‘s work and let’s just say the results were an epic success.

Hey everybody, I just wanted to share w/ fellow Kennerton headphone owners - I’ve been buying and trying and customizing a ton of ear pads for a while - probably like a year testing all sorts of different materials and everything and this is what I came up with as my favorite so far…
I just bought a few of these for Kennerton owners -
contact me for info if you like - I am self editing post so to abide by rules of head-fi -

I'd like a pair of fuzzy 1266 pads please. Very comfy!

The bass is amazing on the MK2. Originally I thought it was a bit too much compared to the AH-D9200. But now I am addicted to it. I spend much more time with the GH50 now. I look forward to try the new earpads above.

wait for your new pads this Friday kgbalien if you can!
- you will see (hear) lol share pics when u get em if you can and feedback!

The Fuzzy pads have arrived!

Too early for listening impressions, but I like what I'm hearing (and feeling!) so far with the custom-fuzzy.

Fit and Materials

Custom Fuzzy
They are super comfy and the headphones feel like warm earmuff now. That's not to say that your ears get "hot" while wearing them, i've been wearing them for about an hour now and my ears feel fairly neutral temperature. That being said if I had to choose a set of headphones to take out in a snow storm these would be at the top of my list. The pads have also relieved some of the clamping pressure I was experiencing with the ZMF Universe tapered pads thanks to the more pliable memory foam material. No issues with ears touching the drivers as well.

Custom Non-Tapered

The extra thickness of Johns pads is much are appreciated. It adds just enough that my ears no longer touch the drivers like the stock Rognir pads. In comparison to the fuzzy's, the non-tapered feel more open. I have a feeling these will increase the soundstage a bit. Skin feel is great with the spandex-like material on the surface. They are definitely cooler than either the stock leather or custom fuzzy pads. They share the same pliable memory foam as the custom fuzzy pads.

Build quality is excellent on both pairs. They were a litter harder to get on than my other sets, but i'm still getting the hang of changing pads on the Rognirs in general. As of now I don't think i'd change anything about the two pads aside of maybe offering a tapered version of the non-fuzzy pad. They're both very well executed.

Measurements & Comparison

Custom Fuzzy Pads:
Thickest part: 36.64mm
Thinnest part: 24.22mm

Custom (Non Tapered): 27.76mm

ZMF Universe Tapered (For comparison)
Thickest Part: 29mm
Thinnest Part: 25mm

Stock Non-Tapered (For Comparison): 22mm

Side-by-side (Custom Fuzzy vs ZMF Universe)

Side-by-side (Custom Non-tapered vs Stock Rognir non-tapered)

These will be staying on for at least the next 24 hours and probably much longer - Love them so far! Thanks @John Massaria

Just talked to headphonebar in Canada, and they will no longer carry Kennerton. No dealers in Canada left.

Sanctions?
EDIT- Feel bad for Kennerton I feel like they were just starting to move seriously into the USA market

Circumstances have arisen which have resulted in my putting my Wodans up for sale in Classifieds if anyone here is interested.

That really sucks. These guys are getting punished for something they don't even support.
