Adpo, the only comments I've read from you are discriminating and rude. Not impressing anyone. There are rules on this website.
As far as "way more balanced than the hd800" I have to disagree
In the bigsound video bob speaks of tonality which in producing you simply want as flat and balanced as possible which the nighthawk most definitely is not. It's also got a smoothed over response when looking at the 300hz square wave response and a bit more distortion. The hd800 on the other hand is lacking in the body department at 30hz. So I'll give it to the nighthawk in that perspective but "rolled off?"
You're assuming those graphs are correct, and they are not. Do you actually believe the HD800 has up to 10db recessed in the 2-5khz range??? Just about every single person I've ever let hear my HD 800's had the same comments "too thin" and "too harsh" and "not enough bass"
And how would you professionally use a headphone that's incapable of revealing bass bloat? Your mixes will be a muddy, bottom heavy mess...............
Test it yourself, it's easy. All DAW's have a frequency analzer, just run a song through it then listen with your headphones and compare. Foobar also has one.
