Know before you buy
With an impedance of 42 Ohms and a sensitivity of 100 dB, these headphones are relatively efficient for planar magnetics. While they can be driven by many high-quality portable players, they will perform best with a dedicated desktop amplifier that can fully exploit their dynamic range and resolution.
The open-back construction allows air to move freely through the earcups, which prevents pressure buildup and creates a wider, more natural soundstage. This design provides a speaker-like presentation, though it does mean sound will leak out and ambient noise will be audible to the listener.
Yes, the Thekk is designed for extended use. It features a lightweight 390g construction, a self-adjusting strap-style headband that distributes weight evenly, and soft ear pads that provide a comfortable, secure fit.
Beyond their striking visual appearance, the stabilized wood earcups are chosen for their acoustic properties. The stabilization process hardens the wood, creating a dense, resonance-free housing that helps the drivers deliver a cleaner and more controlled sound.
Yes, the Kennerton Thekk features a detachable cable system. This allows you to easily replace the included 2-meter copper cable or swap it for a balanced cable if your amplifier setup requires one.
Unlike traditional dynamic drivers that use a voice coil to push a cone, these planar magnetic drivers use a thin, carbon-fiber diaphragm suspended in a magnetic field. This design allows for faster transient response, lower distortion, and significantly higher clarity across the entire frequency spectrum.
