Thank you for the FR graph, but it doesn't tell me how much the vocals would actually sound. Any insight on that?
I don't have HLP or Rognir in my hands. I don't remember what the vocals sounded like there. I don't think Odin has a problem with vocals as it has a solid midrange

Exactly!
I hope Kennerton is paying him, I think he's their best marketing agent...
:D

I'm just a fan. But I'm a fair fan, not blind. If I don't like something about their headphones, I criticize.

So it's similar to the Rognir bass style?
Can it satisfy or does it leave you wanting to go back to the Rognir's bass?
yes, Rognir-like, but even better for my taste

there's more texture, more resolution

Odin H sounds like Rognir with ECL-01 MF or ECL-02 — powerful, big, concert sound

The new model could be in the real top (like lcd 4-5, hedd, abyss, susvara etc)

Don’t know - I thought the Rognir was the first closed back that sounded better than the LCD-4.

I would say, side by side with my LCD5, that the Heartland Planar is behind in overall resolution. But tonality wise it's wonderful, different but in the right way.
They don't have any literal-audio-microscope like the 5.
I think of them in a similar manner to meze. Not the highest end in detail retrieval but provide a very unique and enjoyable sound.

Do you like the Rognir more than the LCD-3 Pre-Fazor? Which kind music do you listen to?

No - the LCD-3 Pre-Fazor is my favorite headphone. However, it requires more power than the Rognir and is an open-back. I listen to Rock, Electronic, Soundtracks, and almost everything. If it has a strong drum kick, I'm probably into it.

I like the Kennerton style as much as I like Meze - art as well as sound. If there's something coming up that is at the same level as a Rognir (the Planar Magnetic, not dynamic), I'll want to check it out.

Not following Kennerton every other day, more so once or twice a month and I fell like loosing sight of new models and iterations.
Hedd... what?

Has anyone here owned\own a Fostex TH900\TH909 and can compare with Rognir or another Kennerton?
