After extensive reading of reviews and impressions from users across the net, i can safely conclude that while the Nighthawk offers remarkable subbass performance, relative clarity, and immersion, it is not ideal for single player open world games because of its intimate soundstage.
Some users reported expanding the soundstage on the nighthawk by replacing the leather pads with HM5 velour pads, while reducing bass. Anyone tried that here?
At this point, it looks like even for single player gaming I need to have 2 dedicated headphones: one for exploration open world games like the witcher 3 with an expansive soundstage and richness of detail, and one for combat oriented single player games like DOOM, for which the Nighthawk would be a good candidate.
That’s why I was thinking the Argon MK3 would be one solution for all because it has rumbly bass AND a wide soundstage so i can use it for all types of single player gaming.
Unless i just use the Nighthawk and replace its pads with HM5 velour pads everytime i play open world games.
Can you confirm and do you agree?
