I've read comparisons in their individual threads but I thought it would be easier to start a tread comparing them. Let's hear the thoughts of those lucky enough to spend time with both!

I'm looking forward to hearing some Impressions on the NightHawks. The only person I know that's had time with them is Jude. Hopefully they show up at CES and we can get some initial thoughts/comparisons. I have some on order and will post my findings as soon as I can.

The Audeze EL-8 ($699) and the AudioQuest Nighthawk ($599) will be released around the same time and priced within $100. I will be receiving one of the first Production Nighthawks from a local distributer. I am curious to see how the Head-Fi community receives both of these as there is not much...

I need a set of balance cables for my D7100's. can I reterminate the stock cable (the non remote cable) with a 4 pin XLR and keep the shortened cable for non balanced? Can you use the shorter "apple remote" cable on non apple devices like my Fiio E9K? Who make the best aftermarket cable for...

Is there a general consensus on the best balanced amp for under $1000? I'm looking for balanced xlr inputs with a 4 pin xlr output with or without a 1/4" jack. Thanks

Before I cut the stock 1/4" plug off does it have 4 wires at the terminal end? I know the 7000D did. Are there 2 blacks a red and a white? What's what? both blacks - the red r+ white l+? Thanks   I will be doing this to the non in-line remote/mic cable.

I have narrowed down my next pair of cans to the following 3 HiFiMan HE-400 HiFiMan HE-500 V-MODA M-100 Denon AH-D600   Being a noob to the headphone scene (I have a dedicated theater/listening room) I need some help. I currently have the Audio Technica ATHM50, I just got them from...

I'm ready to pull the trigger on some new cans. My budget is around $300.

So I was about to pull the trigger on the Ultrasone Pro 750's Amazon had this morning for $161. The price is now $225:(. This got me looking at other options, particularly the AKG K550. I listen to everything and find most headphones don't have enough bass. I have an amazing setup with a...
