It is time to introduce a new brand to MajorHiFi. The start of 2021 has brought us a slew of new items from a couple of well-known manufacturers that aim to make an immediate impression to kick off the year. This leaves some not as established brands to fall under the radar, which is a shame considering the level of quality these names show. Kennerton has racked up a considerable amount of praise for its selection, but they haven’t been the easiest headphones to acquire in the United States. That has now changed.
I’ve finally gotten my hands on one of these hyped-up headphones, the Gjallarhorn GH 50 JM edition. There’s also a standard edition that I will be reviewing here as well. From what I’ve read these headphones are uniquely constructed, and house a great number of elements that are unusual for a closed-back headphone. The $1349 price tag can be a bit intimidating, especially from an otherwise known brand, but can the GH 50 JM be enough to prove Kennerton a name worth looking out for?
