Is 4.4mm balanced an option? Would I have to contact after a sale? I don't see the option for colors or connector on the listing. (I probably asked this question before knowing me)
Thx,
Bern

If you read the whole listing you will see where he says you say in a message what color you want and what termination and yes, 4.4 is one of them.

Thx...I went back to your original listing....someone replied that 4.4mm was available. (that someone was ME). Sometimes I'd like to slap myself. I would if I thought it would help.

Thx again,
Bern

LOL

I meant that all the info is in the EBAY listing.

Got mine and a balanced cable today.

Not opened, hiding them from my wife.

Uh-Oh

@pilgrimbilly At least the Owls are dark and thus designed for exactly these type of covert operations. I believe the paint they used is called 'significant-other-avoidance grey'.

Its best to just get them out and face the music.

In my experience they always find out in the end.

I remember explaining why I have two identical headphones. To the uninitiated, after a short glance the Hawk and Owl look the same.

Not in trouble because I am a responsible person, but yes, the questions always come.

hello
can you compare me SHURE1540 vs NIGHTOWL's. Which one of them are brighter ?

Havent heard the Shure but I don’t think anyone here would describe the NO as bright.

Already having the Nighthawk I needed a closed hp so I went for the Nightowl over the Fostex TH-X00 that I was thinking about getting. I'm glad I got the Owl because Audioquest really did fix the things a lot of people didn't like about the NH.

It's only been about 6 days with about 20 hours on them and they sound very nice indeed. More forward mids and a better more extended treble, and I also feel the veil that the NH has isn't on the Nightowl. The bass has more control over the NH and sounds clearer and cleaner as well. With a soundstage as good as an open hp I really enjoying these quite a bit. I'd even go as far and say they are about as good as my Elear and LCD-2C, maybe not quite the same league per se but in the same ballpark that for sure.

Completely agree. I did not like the NH. I own both NO and LCD2c and love them both for different reasons. I give the edge to LCD2c but NO is still excellent and for the 250 I paid I seriously doubt anything can beat them. They are more forgiving than LCD2c so they can be used with something simple like a portable amp or es100.

...and give them more time to open up. Yesterday I opened a new pair of the Nightowls and started listening. Then I put on my first pair which has about 100 hours on it. Clear difference. The sound does open, the mids/treble become clearer but without losing the warm sound we like on these.

Which ear pads do people like to use on them?

I like the suede pads over the protein leather ones. I feel like they smooth everything out more and the bass has better control. The mids come through a bit better as well.

Hybrid pads, hands down, no contest. I have a pair on both my Nighthawks and my Nightowls. The Protein pads are in a drawer somewhere, never to be seen again.
