  AQ makes some great cables, not cheap, but they sound fabulous.  Soooo  . . . the cable should be rather good, right? . . . 

 
I'd certainly hope so. There should be no need to invest in after-market cables with this one.

I think you are paying for the cable and they throw the headphone in for free! Just kidding.

Maybe AudioQuest will offer their own cable upgrade for it. They'd be crazy not to.

15 ft WEL upgrade for $5k maybe . . . ?  lol . . .

You'd think to withhold their reputation of being a high end cable company they would not put a piece of crap cable on it. However $ talks and they probably will which will make for an even more fun time reading the comments when people ask AQ for specifics about their cable and what the improvement will be compared to a decent cable they can get off Amazon.

If Audioquest don't fit a high-end cable as standard they'll be off my list on principle alone.

Please read Tyll's comments on the NightHawk at InnerFidelity and follow the link to Audioquest's website to read the introduction to the NightHawk before posting about things that have already been discussed. Audioquest described the cable that comes with the phones in great detail.   
 
It's amazing to me that people continue to post guessing what the retail price will be or commenting about features of the phones that have already been addressed by Audioquest. Please do your homework before posting!

Based on my experience with Audioquest cables, I'm sure it will easily beat other 'stock' headphone cables thus saving most folks from the need to upgrade.  Of course we don't know the AWG of the cable and it isn't silver, so there may still be room for an upgrade if the rest of the Nighthawk warrants it.

Wow, are we running out of internet? Get a grip.

I signed up for the Nighthawk updates mailing list and when I verified through the email, it downloaded an application to my tablet to which I instantly decided to view app info. I was going to take a screen shot but was in a hurry to force stop and uninstall it. The permissions were ridiculous. The one that concerned me the most was ability to change hardwaresetting on device and neighboring devices without permission

Oh shoot! I signed up for the updates as well. I had best check for any bull puckey permissions apps. If they are there, I will have lost a LOT of respect for AQ using these sort of questionable marketing tactics. Now don't go getting your panties in a wad, it's just my opinion and before anybody forgets, we are each entitled to have our own wether it is popular or not and this is mine, so get over it.

Love those braided phone cables...

Fair comment. I have checked and found no such invasion of my internet devices and am glad that AQ stepped up to the plate to address this issue immediately. Well done. My faith in AQ is now fully restored and I look forward to further updates. Good to see that some companies are still serious about customer service.
