Hi guys! Let me share with you some impressions about Kennerton Jord. What I really like is that the company produces original products with excellent price/quality ratio. I am very glad that my country has a world-class audio brand. The text of the review is translated from Russian. Please keep that in mind. I hope my thoughts will help someone make the right choice and will be useful. Peace and good headphones.
Forced audiophilia with Kennerton Jord. 
"Construction/Landing
Everything from each screw to the bowls speaks of a monolithic construction. I can't even pinpoint where they hid the plastic.))) So each node of the structure looks and feels as a whole.
This is not surprising, given the positioning of the manufacturer Jord as a portable model.
As you might guess, the fit is also tight with a strong pressure of the bowls to the head. The degree of pressure can be adjusted by simply bending the headband to your liking. The benefit of it is metal and damage it is almost impossible. Fit the headband is comfortable, even weight distribution, soft filling inside that only helps.
Adjustment of the bowls is made up/down, like headphones from Grado. In any case, it is the models of this company that arise in my head....
Bowls headphones are compact enough(for overhead), although in reality they were larger than it might seem in the photo.
Accordingly, ear pads made of natural sheep leather round shape, which is generally characteristic of the premium line Kennerton. They are soft, well kept in shape. Due to the dense planting evenly around the ear.
The quality of the ear pads(since the first Vali) has improved significantly. This of course is a definite plus. But there's no perfection in the world, is there? Therefore, hence the first, quite a significant minus . And here we turn a little to history:
How can you remember the old-timers of this forum, me in 2016 was organized a mini-Vali tour on cities of Russia. And despite the rather positive reviews about the sound, many noted the inconvenience of landing headphones due to the round ear pads are not very large(compared to the same Odin mk1). Hence the complaints of discomfort during prolonged use.
So here this feature, due to the overhead design, is even more felt. So the earphone is definitely not for sissies.)))
At once I will make a reservation that personally it does not give me special discomfort, besides from-for soft ear pads. But if we compare with colleagues, JVC SW01 plays with Jord in this regard pretty well.
Switching
Two-way L/R channel with 3.5 mm Jack to bowl. The contact is tight, the fastening is reliable.
Cord of silvered copper 1.2 m in a dense shell, similar to plastic.
Pretty good for a regular cord, that's just because of the outer braid he always tries to twist.
Of course, for full disclosure of the potential of the headphone cord should be replaced by a custom, that's just because of the differences in the desoldering (probably) none of my laces did not play with them .It's a shame of course, but this is a purely technical point and everything is solved.)
And now let's move on to the most interesting.
Sound.
Obeyed all with Cayin N5 MKII/Hiby R3 Not balanced connection of course.
Material traditionally for me: Hard n heavy/Rock from classic Uriah Heep to Tiamat and Insomnium.
The headphones were preheated for a week in non-stop mode.
If you remember, I recently surveyed another interesting headphones Ibasso SR1 and then they seemed to me with a very entertaining sound and very smooth, of course on my hearing/taste frequency.
So with these headphones is still more difficult..... I certainly heard that the guys were planning to make this model monitor-level, but did not expect to get so clean sound in portable overhead headphones.
Purity can be described in General everything sounding headphone overall.
None of the instruments dominates the compositions. Everything is so organically built that any instrument in the composition can be singled out and listened to separately, but everything is built into a single whole canvas.
Important! No, the headphones are by no means light or bright! As it may seem at once. There's no deliberate faux detail at the expense of elevated treble, as it makes the Ultrasone and the like. And-for the verified tonal balance, the model is extremely difficult to describe in terms of the traditional approach to the evaluation of individual frequencies.....
Otherwise, it may not be a review, but a report on the success of production in building communism in the language of dry numbers.)))
The headline of my post also took a reason. These headphones literally force you to forget about musicality, simultaneously forcing you to catch every detail in the melody, as many audiophiles like to do.
Separately all??? want to mention about speed bass. This is probably the fastest headphones I've ever heard from dynamic.
The virtual scene
Here everything is more or less standard for this kind of ears.
Not a radio, but not HD800 in miniature. It is the expected result.
Conclusion
Extremely unusual headphones . Their main "feature"-is the lack of such, if this is understood as a game with pseudo-details of many modern manufacturers.
But due to this originality, I tend to think that many headphones may seem trite boring. Because the person who got used to special effects, it is banal there will be nothing to be hooked if so in a simple way to be expressed.....
Despite this, I think the model is extremely successful and it will certainly find its connoisseur. Especially if the collection includes headphones with driving flow and prijemnym top. Then both models will complement each other, as in my case with JVC.
Although of course both can act as the only one in the setup."
