    Win a SUSVARA

    Gave my work headphones to my girlfriend and now I don't have headphones to use at work. It'd be super awesome to have a susvara at home and then just leave my nighthawks at work.

    AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Went to CanJam Socal with a few buddies, consensus from all of them was roughly "Unless you're spending $5k+, the Nighthawks are as good as it's going to get."

    Some amps sound better from their balanced output

    Empire Ears X Effect Audio Giveaway // 2017 EMPIRE SPRING SALE

    How about 'Jason' for a more affordable mid-centric IEM? Jason was the great-grandson of Hermes, so I figured it'd be a fitting name

    Thinking getting a bimby or gumby in the future, but I'm pretty much set as far as my bedroom setup goes. Could probably use a few more posters though.

    Didn't you see the 300 page discussion on how blood sacrifice accelerates the rate at which the NHs burn in?     Here's my input on the original solid core cable: I had mine reterminated for a balanced TRRS adapter so that I can use it with the GOV2 I had at the time. This also meant I could...

    Bass is great for epic scenes and imaging is spot on. Using the NHs with Dolby Atmos turned on in Overwatch almost feels like having an unfair advantage

    I've been kinda hard on my nighthawks for the past year or so that I've had them and they've held up wonderfully. The design and build quality on them are top-notch.   Currently running mine with the Jotunheim and a Pro-Ject RPM10.1 Evo as a source and it sounds fantastic. The TT is...

    I've been rocking my Nighthawks on the new schiit Jotunheim for a little while now and I think it's an excellent combination, especially given the price. It leaves the frequency response untouched, but everything just seems a bit tighter on the Nighthawks in comparison to the Magni 2 Uber and...

    I definitely agree, damping is a rabbit hole in which you can easily shoot yourself in the foot. It took me about 2 weeks of experimentation post-burn-in before I got the damping mods just right in my pair. That said, I did at least want to present the option, given that I personally have found...

    The more the better. I honestly wouldn't worry too much about it if you're using the headphones daily, just make sure to make it a point to use them when you can and you'll get there eventually.

    In my experience, things the NHs like are: 1. Burn in. 2. Clean power and lots of it. The common trait I've noticed between amps I've enjoyed with the Nighthawks is that they tend to be capable of swinging a crapton of voltage with authority, usually with an option for balanced drive. 3. A...
