Those modded 580's look amazing. I wish I would've kept my 595's and went a similar route.

Well I finally picked up the Nighthawks from my buddy and my initial impressions are pretty positive. I don't think he used them much because they still smell new. I've just been using them off of my Denon AVR but will give them a go on my computer and Dragonfly shortly.    I think I'm on the...

Good to know. I've been checking out Massdrop for amps and dacs but it usually seems like not much info is out there for the stuff they drop.

Thanks for the response. I was actually looking at that same amp for the reasons you stated. I'm glad you're pleased with the results. As for how they compare to the HD598's I'm kind of happy to hear that as well. These are going to be my first big boy "audiophile" headphones so I kind of want...

Anything? If in the wrong section please let me know.

Hey all, Looking for some advice. My buddy is letting me pick up his Nighthawks at too good of a price to pass up. They'll be my first upgrade in headphones since my HD598's. I'm just running an Audioquest Dragonfly V1.2 as my DAC. I've heard mixed reviews on the Nighthawks but I'm getting...

Bump

That's my problem with the HD's. I think they sound great for the price, especially after hearing my bothers 558s. Idk what to do.

A best buy is actually where I listened to them. Next neatest place is Chicago, and I live in Green Bay, WI. There's just too many choices out there. Haha.

The Focal spirit's are very intriguing but I have no way of auditioning them. I wouldn't say I wasn't a fan of the momentum's, I just feel like the P7's were better. I have always been a fan of sony headphones so that's another option.

Thanks for the welcome!   I would say I was surprised by them based off of the reviews that I read of AKG closed headphones. To me they seemed like they didn't lack any detail in the treble and the bass was fine to my ears, granted the only song that worked on the demo was some Taylor Swift. ...

I may have to check those out. Any word on how they compare to the P7's?

Hi all, First post here. Have the itch to get some new ear candy and thought it was going to be an easy impulse buy, until I started surfing these forums. Looking for my first shot at a higher end headphone. Most of my listening is done from my iPhone, iPad, or my laptop where I have an...
