A boutique offshoot of Fisher Audio, Kennerton claims their mission is to put the focus back on audio quality in an industry they feel increasingly values style over fidelity. Their quickly growing line of headphones hail from St. Petersburg, Russia and are gaining further traction as their overseas availability further expands. They recently released the JM edition of their Gjallarhorn GH Model, starting at $1,299. The JM edition is an acoustic modification originated by John Massaria and adopted by Kennerton. When Massaria got his hands on a pair of the original model, he modified them by adding small furniture dots around the delicate Graphene Mylar membrane, and claimed this made a world of difference in the sound. This modification, he said, significantly increased their precision and instrument separation. Evidently, Kennerton was quite impressed.
What’s in the Box:
Kennerton’s packaging is simple but effective. We get a sizable eco-leather case with a pocket at the top for the 2 meter cable with a gold-plated 6.3 TRS connector. No other cables are provided, but the long, braided chord should suffice for most applications. The case is well padded and has a snug fit for the headphones, rest-assured they’ll be well out of harm’s way. They also provides a strap should you want to carry them over your shoulder.
