I picked them up it ended up being the nighthawk carbon not nightowl - oh well just breaking them in now
I thouht the carbon nighthawk and the nightowl have different materials. But its just the paint?
Wile I haven't seen either carbon in person..I thought the Liquid wood look was great.

The carbons have an inoffensive look. I don't think many would even notice that they weren't just everyday plastic without close inspection.
When I was first thinking about buying the Nighthawk nearly two years ago, the Carbon was announced. I was actually going to wait for it but then the price dropped so dramatically on the original that I just had to get it. I have thought about the Night Owl but I have too many other good closed phones.... like the Sennheiser HD630VB that @Bern2 seems willing to part with, and the Shure SHR1540. I have no desire to trade either of those away. For portability I have a few others.
I found the NO to be a step up in most aspects from the 1540. I still keep my set around for office use because they're still very good cans, but find myself bringing the Owls in more frequently because I know what I'm missing.
I think I like the 1540 more than you do...
I have both Owl and Hawk. The Owl has more forward sounding mids, closer to your typical headphone. Soundstage is still great. I love themcborh, and my favorite often ends up being whicjevwhone I have on my head at the time. Instruments sounds just a bit better on the Owl, and I think I prefer the bit recessed vocals on the hawk.I think I like the 1540 more than you do... I think they are perfect! For me. Some of the complaints that I have read are not what I hear. I think having the NH is enough for me. Isolation is not important to me.
