Hello guys, I bought a Vinneta headphone, and it's absolutely stunning! For me, it's definitely the endgame. The sound quality is incredible, even when paired with a Topping DX3 Pro+ and Spotify. I will test higher-end DACs and power amplifiers, but for now, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.
The Vinneta is much better than the Perun Live Sound, Koss ESP950, and Hifiman Ananda, for example. It has everything I was hoping for in terms of sound. Now, I feel like I've truly started hearing the music with the Vinneta. Even simpliest, dumbest songs sound amazing!

Ok, but where did you post your sound description? That is, where you stated: “I described the sound of these headphones”. I searched for the Kennerton Magister and came up empty…thx!

Ahh, I see what you mean now. Somewhere in this thread is my little description, but I can't remember where. Should be found with a search, in theory.
But you have to keep in mind that a headband like the Magister, Nota Bene, Veritas and a few other models won't fit all. Personally, it's not very comfortable for me because of the rather small cups. My ears feel very cramped and hot in such small ear cushions. I'm talking specifically about the inside of the ear cushions. The lack of rotation of the cups around the axis is also critical here. So I would be extra vigilant when ordering blindly.
The Magister have quite powerful bass, lots of body, juicy timbres. They have a lot of musicality, groove. The stage is pretty tight, I like lots of space, openness.

You've purchased the Veritas? enjoy, it's a great model.
Veritas has the exact same cup size as Magister Heritage, and the same headband. The same issue doesn't bother you with the Veritas?
I find these headbands very comfortable, they are simplistic and lightweight. As for the cup size, I've never had a compliant about it from customers demoing them.

Thank you! Your information, That’s what I was looking for. I might have to think twice about the magister, and I’m guessing the Veritas cup is similar in non flexing and sound also?
To be honest, I can't stand writing reviews, much less reviews. (Russian version in the end of page)
To begin with, the new Magister Heritage (MH) are very musical headphones, it's not a reference sound at all. At the same time, there is a good balance of frequencies, and these headphones can be listened to as universal.
However, the main winning genres here will be electronic, metal, rock, blues, jazz, vocals, acoustics and other instrumental genres. But there is no need to buy Magister strictly for classical music, look for something else. There is not enough high resolution, not enough air, not good enough to retrieve details and nuances to listen to such complex and detailed works as in classical music. The resolution is on the level of Vali Neoteric roughly.
But other genres can keep you in your chair for many hours. Here is a full-body, rich, timbral presentation of sound. Everything sounds very large, intimate, wet. Bass rumbles, with good punch. This is typical dynamic driver bass, if you know what I mean. If you take Heartland Dynamic, for example, their sound is more like 'planar', their bass is very precise, punchy, detailed, solid. But I like the bass in the Magister too. Double bass, bass guitar, drums -- it all sounds very delicious and natural.
I also want to praise the midrange. Male and female vocals sound great, the timbres are rich. The midrange is clean, with no muddiness or dips, as I like. Electric guitars in metal sound brutal, distortion sounds great. In alternative rock/metal guitars are very aggressive, assertive as it should be.
High frequencies are not rolled-off. It's not a dark sound at all. I may be missing a bit of the farthest treble to feel more air and space. That's because the soundstage here is rather modest in size. It's medium-sized I would say. The width is felt more clearly than the depth. But maybe it depends on the sources.
Here we use velour ear cushions, which Kennerton started to use in their new and updated models. The fit is quite comfortable, the headphones fit tightly to the head, with a snug fit. MH, as you will notice, utilizes the headband from some of the "budget" models. I feel like I could sit in these headphones for hours on end.
The driver size is 50mm, so don't expect to get the same spacious sound as the more expensive models in the Kennerton lineup. Impedance -- 33 ohms.
Overall, I can recommend the Magister to those who like bassiness, light warmth, rich timbres, intimate vocals, and a musical signature with involvement. Good frequency balance and versatility.
I would personally put this model in second place after the Heartland Dynamic in Kennerton's dynamic lineup. I even call the Magister Heritage the little brother of the Heartland Dynamic. They have a similar powerful, rich signature, but the difference in level is exactly the same for their cost. If you have the money, I highly recommend buying the Heartland Dynamic (with the additional ECL-01 MF ear pads). At this point, I consider the Rognir Planar and the Heartland Dynamic -- to be the best Kennerton headphones. But if you're on a budget, consider the Magister as a more budget-friendly version of the Heartland Dynamic.
Если честно, то терпеть не могу писать отзывы, и тем более, обзоры.
Начнем с того, что новые Магистры это очень музыкальные наушники, это совсем не референсный звук. При этом тут хороший баланс частот, и эти наушники можно слушать как универсальные.
Тем не менее, основные выигрышные жанры здесь будут электроника, метал, рок, блюз, джаз, вокал, акустика и другие инструментальные жанры. А вот покупать Магистер сугубо для классической музыки не нужно, поищите что-нибудь другое. Здесь недостаточно высокое разрешение, не достаточно много воздуха, не достаточно хорошо извлекаются детали и нюансов, чтобы слушать такие сложные и детальные произведения как в классической музыке. Разрешение на уровне Вали Неотерик примерно.
Но другие жанры могут вас усадить в кресло на многие часы. Здесь телесная, богатая, тембристая презентация звука. Все звучит очень крупно, интимно, влажно. Бас объемный, с хорошим ударом. Это типичный бас динамического драйвера если вы понимаете о чем я. Если взять например Хертленд Динамикс, то их звучание больше напоминает планарное, их бас очень точный, хлесткий, детальный, твердый. Но бас в Магистер мне тоже нравится. Контрабас, бас гитара, ударные -- все это звучит очень вкусно и натурально.
Так же хочу похвалить средние частоты. Вокал мужской и женский звучат отлично, тембры насыщенны. Средние частоты чисты, без провалов, как я люблю. Электрогитары в тяжелых жанрах звучат брутально, хорошо звучит дисторшн. В альтернативном метале гитары очень агрессивны, напористы, здесь тоже так как должно быть.
Высокие частоты не убиты. Это совсем не темный звук. Возможно мне не хватает немного самых дальних высоких частот, чтобы ощущать больше воздуха и пространства. Потому что сцена здесь довольно скромных размеров. Она средняя я бы сказал. Ширина ощущается более явно, чем глубина. Но возможно это зависит от источников.
Здесь используются велюровые амбушюры, которые Кеннертон стали применять в своих новых и обновленных моделях. Посадка довольно комфортная, наушники прилегают к голове плотно, с прижимом. В этой модели, как вы заметили, используется оголовье из некоторых "бюджетных" моделей. Мне кажется я смогу просидеть в этих наушниках по несколько часов к ряду.
Размер драйвера -- 50 мм, так что не ждите, что вы получите такой же пространственный звук, как у более дорогих моделей линейки Кеннертон. Импенданс -- 33 Ом.
В целом, я могу рекомендовать Магистер тем, кому нравится басовитость, легкая теплота, богатые тембры, интимный вокал, музыкальная сигнатура с вовлекатором. Хорошая частотная сбалансированность и универсальность.
Я лично поставлю эту модель на второе место после ХЛД в динамической линейке Кеннертон. Я даже называю Магистер младшим братом Хертленд Динамик. У них схожая мощная, богатая сигнатура, но разница в уровне ровно по их стоимости. Если у вас есть деньги, то я очень рекомендую покупать Хертленд Динамик (с дополнительными ECL-01 MF амбушюрами). На данный момент я считаю, что Рогнир и ХЛД -- являются лучшими наушниками Кеннертон. Но если вы ограничены в бюджете, то рассмотрите Магистер, как более бюджетную версию ХЛД.
Thank you for the information. That’s what I was looking for. I’ll be looking for the Veritas sound signature for another option. Thanks fullbass again for that link
Yes, the headband design, ear cups and ear cushions are the same. Sound? Well, I'd prefer the sound of the Magister Heritage.
To be honest, I don't like the sound of Veritas at all. It's a very dark sound. And I'm not just talking about the accentuated bass, but also the recessed mids and treble. I don't like the veil and muffled sound I hear here. The vocals, the guitars sound as if behind a closed door. Forget about the treble altogether. The stage has no layers, it's very flat, it has no depth. I'll just say that there is nothing I like about the Veritas sound that I can praise. I'm not a hater. There are probably admirers of that kind of sound.
I believe that for this money you can buy for example Hifiman Arya Organic and get much more value. It will also be a bassy signature of sound, but more successfully tuned.

Magister Heritage are great, I think I prefer it over the GH50. I also like Veritas, I think it sounds great and at its price range it's going to be quite popular. How did you come to get it as a gift if you don't favor it as much?
Arya for me is so boring, I don't like that kind of sound style at all. I rather have the LCD-X if I had to choose between those, or defiantly the GH50.
I did get a new R2R DAC which I has a great synergy with my gear - Holo Cyan 2. I managed to find it second hand of a great price, but even at its full price it's not overly expensive.
My top favorite two Kennertons these days are Arkona and Rognir.

Thank you again. I’m glad I asked about them. I can Cross those two off the list of intriguing headphones. I had a chance at a pair of rogir dynamics but I didn’t have enough information about them so I missed that boat…Thx!
Vinneta is a more balanced Flagship style model with good bass. If you want thicker and meatier, go with Arkona.
Do note that Arkona is not a dark model.
Heartland are not very versatile headphones, they are an interesting model.
