Once they’re gone, it could be tough to find them again if you decide you miss the one of a kind sound they offer. Elex and Elegia are both very nice too, though, so it’s tough to go wrong.

The Nightowls are on sale right now for 300$ not sure how they compare to the Nightwaks

Apparently much more ‘normal’ in presentation and a bit more neutral, though I haven’t heard them.

Yeah bro the hawks are the one to get, because the presentation is super unique and fun #shill

I would view that as a change to something different rather than a step up. The Nighthawk is unique, there is nothing else quite like it and for what it does I think it’s in a field of its own.
There are some great headphones but I see my other models as complementary to the Nighthawk rather than replacements.

Trying to find deals on nighthawks if anyone knows
 Much appreciated.

Ah that’s true, I guess it would possibly be an upgrade to me because it’s not the specific sound signature I want. Anything with forward vocals is an upgrade to me lol

Yeah it’s pretty bad tbh

973

I would assume Periapt or Hart makes one
 wondering if there is something less expensive.

974

I think the cheapest was the new fantasia hd700 cable

the new fantasia cable is a bit stiff but pretty light, it’s not my favorite cable but for 20 bucks it’s great. the stock cable is pretty awful imo well worth the 20 for the new fantasia

Don’t do it. I think it makes sense to step up both those won’t “replace” these. I don’t think anything can. I say you keep them when you want that different sound. I’ve gotten 3 new pairs since these already lol. But I would dare give them up personally ha.
