So here is brief difference summary between a Kennerton Gjallarhorn LE and an LSA HP2 Ultra LE.

The GH is mine, while the HP2 was sent to me for sh!ts n giggles by @Jose_G

Physical

  • Gjallarhorn is slightly heavier. Note the leather and logo seal.
  • Gjallarhorn as has Kennerton logo headband, while the LSA has the LSA logo. Otherwise it uses the same headband.
  • Gjallarhorn obviously has larger vents while the LSA HP-2 has one port.

Sound

  • Gjallarhorn has more, sometimes excessive bass quantity, impact and a sustained bass presence that can linger.
  • Everything else is quite similar, but the difference in the bass overshadows other differences for me.
  • I experimented with some tape to cover the bass port as a brief attempt to reduce the bass to see if I can get it to the same amount as the LSA HP-2. After covering all 4 ports, the bass was reduced significantly, but it still had noticeably more bass than the LSA HP-2.

Other Notes

  • I’m not interested in an LSA HP-2 after hearing a Gjallarhorn. Price difference is not worth it to me.
  • I have not heard the JM version of the Gjallarhorn and both of these are the standard stock versions, other than being “Limited Edition” woods.
