#Audioquest nightowl specs series
This Owl hits harder than the Fostex TH series headphones. My goodness, this is a $79 solid metal from top to bottom piece of art, also sporting a safe and soft exterior for the headphone to rest on, instead of bare metal.
Team AudioQuest was gracious enough to send me their new headphone stand as well, which is probably the single most hefty and dense feeling stand I’ve ever held. I can’t say anything but vividly positive things about this case and also can’t help but shrug on the idea of if I really need to say more about it.

This leather zip case has a front panel that is solid and also has a ton of space inside. The NightOwl comes with, perhaps, the most useful case I’ve come across in a while. Thankfully, the older Hawk cables I have are friendly to this newer NightOwl, so I can’t complain too much and on a personal level. Let’s not continue with cables like this in the future.

It is simply too thick and stiff, often bunching up and despite being of a portable length, is very hard to wrap around my portable music player to pocket and move around with. The heft of the cable is also an issue, it is very similar to Audeze’s original LCD series garden hose cable. Or, I can string together a mess of adapters and try to trick the signal. I need to swap out to my old NightHawk Balanced XLR cable, and then connect that to a ¼ adapter I had custom made for me to get this to work on normal 3.5mm audio amps. The stock short cable included is 3.5mm mic enabled, meaning I can’t use it on normal headphone amps and DAC’s without a garbled sound. Well…can’t win them all, I guess? I am not at all fond of this cable, but I’d rather not express my subjective opinion here too much. Top marks all around for build quality, no doubt about it. It tends to heat up quickly, but that is to be expected again with this type of design. The dark color scheme is also not helping if you are sitting near a window or outside with the sun shining on you. Heat is an issue, but that is due to it being a fully closed system. True, I am not fond of the size of the headband, a pet peeve of mine, it still is very comfortable and can be worn indefinitely. Combined with very soft leather and velour pad options, the experience is supremely comfortable. The grills are 3D printed and the headband suspension system allows for excellent comfort with a moderate clamp factor. The NightOwl is a marvelous feeling in the hand and exudes both class and style, top to bottom. It still retains more or less the same engineering and articulating design as the NightHawk so they do look relatively similar in feel and form factor. This is a headphone for those who wanted a bit more seal, some more isolation or generally enjoy a closed headphone over more open design headphones. Note you can now get the NightHawk now in a liquid wood carbon design as well as the original lighter colored liquid wood finish. This closed-back very cool Carbon designed headphone is priced at $699.99 and is designed to complement the companies previous semi-open NightHawk headphone.
