Recently have bought both the NightHawk and NightOwl, and looking for a short 1-2ft cable to use with a Radsone ES100. Anyone know of a off the shelf model, I know I can spend some coin to get one custom made but I'm looking on the cheaper side. Thanks!

Might take a while coming from China, but you can get it as short as 0.5 meters

Perfect! Thank You!

PSA, AudioAdvisor has leather pads back in stock. They were backordered when I ordered as set but it looks like the ordered some extras when they fulfilled my order.

Thanks for this! Just ordered.

Already out of stock! That was fast!

I know that we are generally not allowed to post for sale notices in the discussion threads. But because here the discussion is precisely about getting extra pads (brand new), I just posted for sale two from my stock here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fs-brand-new-audioquest-leather-pads-for-nighthawk-nightowl.932337/ .

I understand if this gets deleted. My post here is not motivated by the need to sell fast (I am on the fence over keeping a large stock or not), but to help the community if someone is genuinely struggling to find these discontinued replacement pads.

Posts usually only get taken down if someone reports them as inappropriate. Seems good to let those who still love the NH know about these first.

Has anyone found a suitable headband cover / wrap for these? I would like to protect it since it most likely won't be replaceable.

Thx!

i've seen those cloth/knit covers on amazon/ebay, but I just opted for loose leather pieces for the sake of matching the design.

Im thinking of getting a night hawk as they are very cheap now. So is it possible to buy replacement pads for it and do any other brands work for it?

The hybrid and velour pads have been unavailable for a while and it looks like the pleather pads might be gone too, I don't see anywhere to buy them anymore. Audio Advisor had some until recently, but they're no longer listed on their site. It's possible Audioquest still has some, you'd have to contact them.

I don't know of anyone making pads specifically for Audioquest headphones, but you can use other pads on them, you just need to make holes for the mounting rings and use the ones that come with the stock pads (they're removable)

Thanks. One last question would these be ok for black/death metal?

Good for everything I've tried

Did any of you guys encounter problems when using regular jack extension cables with these, too? I recently bought a good brand extension and my problem is that for it sound like they sound when plugged straight in, I need to... keep the button at the Y part of their cable pressed all the time It's really weird - as soon as you let go, it sounds abhorrent, as if you downgraded your cans to $30 knockoffs. And then you press it and all's perfect. Any idea why that may be? And more importantly, any idea on how to fix this, apart from taping the button in the pressed position for good?

Your extension cable isn't playing nice with the 4-pole remote by the sound of it. Easiest fix is just getting a new cable. Just search for Sennheiser HD 700 cables on Amazon or wherever and there are plenty of options
