I don’t know one audiophile who isn’t a sucker for a wooden headphone. They look classy, feel delightful to touch, and just have the cool retro quality of yesteryear, when buying an album was the highlight of the day. And such is the case with the Rognir Dynamic, with each cup carved from a solid piece of wood and finished in a semi-glossy wax coating. The memory foam lambskin ear pads are particularly soft, and the headphone (with suspension headband) rests almost loosely on the head. So, even after hours of listening, I didn’t experience any fatigue or discomfort. No complaints here.
The Rognir Dynamic employs 50mm drivers with graphene-coated diaphragms, similar to the design of Kennerton’s popular GH 50. The purpose behind using graphene is to minimize distortion and resonance, while maintaining a high level of sensitivity. I must admit that this unique design seems to have the intended effect and offers a distinctive quality to the sound. But more about this below.
