Many audiophiles have become familiar with the Kennerton brand, which has grown significantly in popularity over the last year or two. The GH 50 is probably the Company’s biggest seller and has been competing with some of the more well-known headphones on the market in the $1000 range. But the slightly more expensive Rognir Dynamic is Kennerton’s flagship model, and it varies quite significantly in sound character from the GH 50. What differences and similarities can you expect between these two models? And which performs better?
Look and Feel
Listeners will enjoy the aesthetic and tactile pleasure of wood ear cups on both, the GH 50 JM and the Rognir Dynamic. However, while the Rognir Dynamic has an entirely wooden exterior, the GH 50 is finished with a plush leather at the center of the ear cup. The Rognir is slightly heavier than the GH 50, but the difference is unnoticeable when wearing them. One notable difference lies in the ear pads and clamping force. The Rognir has softer, contoured ear pads, and the headphone sits a little looser on the ears. In contrast, ear pads on the GH 50 are thicker and more firmly padded.
