I would pay $500 and less

Bout what I'd pay. Not into flagship prices for first headphone offerings. No need to have another McIntosh, though, these are custom built vs outsourced to Beyer... :evil:

interesting news- let the speculation begin

  Okay, I guess I'm going to CES this year.  

Don't get the CES flu this year!

Flus shots necessary for me. I am looking forward to seeing these at the CES.   Two people told me they heard the prototype in Denver liked them very much.

Looks like the NightHawk will be using a modified Fostex dynamic driver.
 
That's not a bad thing.  Some of the best sounding headphones use similar Fostex drivers.
 
Can't wait to hear 'em!

Without hearing them, my guess is the HD800 will still be king.

 

[Xecuter]

Speculation at its best.

Not one new pricey hp w/o an hd800 mention. Is the hd800 the Money Mayweather of headphones?

Love the look of these headphones!

Pretty much

Guys, remember, every time you say you like this headphone and would pay a lot for it, the price of the headphone goes up. So, for the sake of a reasonable price...I'll say: Eeeeeeeww what an ugly headphone. I bet it will suck, I'd pay 200 dollars for it, tops.  

 
Now it's your turn.

The HD800 is the best sounding/ugliest headphone I`ve ever heard/seen, so therefore I`ll assume the Nighthawk, in its beauty, sounds terrible and it would have to be priced at 199.99 or less for me to even consider getting one new.   I`d probably wait until they hit the used market.

I love all the wild assumptions happening here...

Well, they clearly aren't going lame on their included cable for the Nighthawk:
 

The NightHawk Cable

NightHawk benefits from AudioQuest’s 30+ years of experience in the high-performance cable business, including a headphone cable purposefully designed to minimize distortion and provide a deep emotional connection to the music. It uses many of the same ingredients found in our speaker cables and interconnects, including high-purity Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors, Foamed-Polyethylene insulation, Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation System (NDS), and silver-plated terminations. We’ve also included a unique 1/4”-to-3.5mm headphone adaptor that, like our finest cable connectors, features a thick Direct-Silver plate over our extreme-purity Red Copper and beryllium-copper base metals, altogether avoiding the sonically harmful brass, nickel, and thin gold flash construction of typical adaptors. Every bit of NightHawk was designed to exude quality, performance, innovation, and beauty.

With that cable I wouldn't pay more than $300
