Itās a wonder AQ donāt sell the IP on these to someone like Drop. I paid Ā£250 for mine, new, possibly the best buy I have made headphone wise. Other contender would be the Ā£140 Audio Technica ATH MSR7, again new. Both models are genuinely excellent, not just great for the price paid but excellent full stop. The Nighthawk is one of the very few genuinely different headphones and they really work. Give me Nighthawk over another model tuned around the Harman curve any day of the week. I suspect many would need to give the Nighthawk time to adjust to the different tuning but if they give it space they may become hooked. They show the value of a company having the nerve to challenge existing orthodoxy and their own thing.

Iām fairly sensitive to the S region, how are these in that regard? Can they ever be harsh in that frequency range?

Theyāre really dark up top and warm in the lower frequenciesā¦ literally nothing offensive about the fr

was actually thinking about selling my nighthawks as some of my other headphones have been dominating my listening time. But after sitting down with them again decided against it. there really isnāt anything quite like them. At least not that Iāve heard, if anything getting to try more headphones has made me appreciate their uniqueness more. They arenāt my favorite headphone, or my most listened to, but they are quite special imo

yeah listening to them right now, was on a binge of pleather for a while. but switched at the moment just for the different presentation and its really something else lol. just so cohesive and warm sounding. I also like that the instruments are more centered too. donāt get me wrong, not saying itās better per say than normal headphone presentation but itās something that other headphones should copy because it has itās own beauty

Seriously, trust me i understand the feeling. Iāve been hovering over the BUY button on nearly $3k in mixed purchases the past week. I havenāt bought anything Though, except some inexpensive speaker stands i actually needed.
Every single other item is some kind of āupgradeā nonsenseā¦I donāt need any of it, and honestly shouldnāt be looking at any of it until i decide to at least try and let go Or shelf something first. Every time i get the urge To hit buy, i sit back and enjoy some music and try to understand what i think i am missing. Itās like a type of torture, hahaha
