Gjallarhorn GH-40 Con Brio

This model isn’t about hyper-analytical precision or micro detail. It’s about drive, excitement, emotion, and power. Even its name—“Con Brio”—underscores this, as the musical term means “with fire.”

Ideally suited to lively, high-energy music genres.

The newest iteration of the GH-40 “Con Brio” sets itself apart from its predecessor with a notably more substantial sub-bass and a heightened holographic presentation of musical imagery and soundstage.

The horn element in these headphones delivers an immersive sense of presence, exceptional micro and macro dynamics, and an expansive horizontal soundstage.

High and mid frequencies reproduced via a horn driver exhibit a distinctly different energy and a higher degree of transparency, while low frequencies gain a naturally rich fullness and powerful presence.

Horn headphones are musical and harmonious with a natural sound that can completely captivate the listener.

Equipped with 40mm paper membrane drivers, these headphones offer a warm, spacious, and above all, natural sound. They reproduce low frequencies and the full range of mid and high frequencies smoothly, without introducing any distortions across the spectrum.

Weighing 80 grams less than the previous model (under 300 grams total) and featuring minimal moving parts as well as a sleek-yet-attractive cup design, these closed-back headphones ensure a private listening experience. Their sturdy, compact form factor makes the Gjallahorn GH40 “Con Brio” an essential companion for music enthusiasts everywhere—at home, on the road, while traveling, or even during sports activities.

Recognizing our responsibility to true audio enthusiasts, we thoroughly test and fine-tune each pair of headphones, followed by a mandatory 70-hour “burn-in.” This process upholds the high standards we are proud to maintain.

Through meticulous design and painstaking hand assembly—guided by skilled craftsmen at every stage—our headphones achieve unmatched technical and aesthetic qualities. Note: The earcups of our headphones are crafted from natural wood, making each pair unique. As a result, the wood texture of the headphones you receive may differ slightly from the sample shown on our website.

Ear Pads

Soft ear pads ensure superior comfort, while the driver’s placement is optimized to enhance soundstage, refine imaging, and maintain cohesive musicality.

Soft ear cushions ensure maximum comfort, while the design positions the driver at an ideal distance from your ear. This approach enhances soundstage, improves imaging, and delivers a more cohesive musical presentation.

The ear pads are meticulously finished with hand-stitched, high-grade genuine leather, delivering unparalleled comfort and enhancing the tactile enjoyment of your listening sessions.

Cable

At Kennerton Audio, we ensure that even the most subtle nuances receive our utmost care and attention. The headphones come with a 2 meter long detachable cable with mini-XLR connectors and a gold-plated 6.35mm termination.
