As a reviewer, I hate to show bias. But I have yet to be disappointed by a Kennerton headphone. Whether I’m listening to one of their horn driver cans, or a planar magnetic model, the brand consistently impresses me with the level of skill and charisma its sound signatures offer.
So, I was particularly excited to hear one of their pricier, best-selling models to see just how good they can get. Unsurprisingly, the Heartland did not disappoint. Here’s what you can expect in terms of design, performance and sound signature.
Look and Feel
The Heartland sports a warm vintage vibe. The suspended leather headband fastened with silver buckles, along with the nylon mesh cups and wooden circumference give the headphone a retro look. Although there’s a bit of weight to these cans, the suspended headband relieves any heaviness. And the soft and memory foam leather ear pads feel easy on the ears. The clamping force is relaxed, yet avoids being too loose on the ears. So, you can expect a very comfortable listen even throughout long listening sessions.
