Yeah, in the us new they are around 200-250 and used they can get cheaper. Argons might be more expensive and also if you buy new from them it will take a long time, and then the added cost of the amp too, so it will depend

I have made up my mind to get the nighhawk. Thanks for the guidance senpai x3

Just make sure to look around, you want to make sure that it’s something you want (and don’t only take my word for it lol)

A reviewer on headfi said replacing the pads with HM5 Velour pads widened the soundsatge but reduced bass. It is a few posts up in this thread.

I don’t know how far that will take you lol. Also admittedly I really don’t watch or read things much anymore, just listen to music and mess with gear (too much audio equipment lol)

For sure.
Trust your ears first. Everyone has different tastes.

Picked up a 7ft type 2 Periapt cable with the 1/4" jack to use with my NH and my Liquid Spark. Got it off someone on Reddit for $40 shipped. Guessing I will need to get something else if I get a portable DAC / Amp with balanced output but for the price I had to jump on it.

The clearance price for Nighthawk Carbons makes them one of the best bargains in audio just now. Even in rip off Britain you can get new factory sealed stock from a dealer with full warranty for ÂŁ250. For that you get a beautifully made pair of headphones, well accessorised with a great case and a unique sound signature which becomes almost addictive. And I know comfort is extremely subjective and personal but no other headphones I have tried are anything like as comfortable for me.

Was watching about nightowl
 how do they compare to the nighthawks?

532

I personally prefer the Nighthawks because there owls sound kinda average, they messed with the tuning again that made them less desirable imo

I think Audioquest got cold feet at some of the responses to the Nighthawk and made the Nightowl more "normal " sounding, losing what made the Nighthawk so special in the process.

Yes, that’s what they did with the carbon as well, the og nighthawk had a stronger signature

Rip i can only get the Carbon nighthawk Q-Q

536

No problems, I would say it’s more approachable lol, you aren’t missing out tbh

537

I’ll let you know that everyone else that is raving about the nighthawks as well is rocking the carbons. It’s a superb model as well.

I was looking to buy from musicdirect. Is it a trustworthy site? Or what are the other options

Edit: And are “open-box” ones ok?

540

Yeah that’s a reputable choice and open box would be just fine from them at least

541

I got mine from musicdirect. Do open box items have the same return policy?
