Interesting
Now i have hd800. It is heaven for acoustic. Thinking of letting go mt th600 which is really superb except the highs. I have heard th900, my housemate just bought it and it is kinda too bright for me, the treble.
Maybe i need to add a ward and smooth sounding headphone to replace my th600 but also has a punchy bass or i will miss something in my inventory. Does NH has a lot of bass? Been wondering to get LCD 2.2 and will actually keep HD800 and LCD2.2 if lcd can satisfy me.
LCD 2.2 was my other candidate before I bought the Nighthawk, but I never had a chance to try them. Some folks however in NH thread prefer NH to LCD 2.2, but you probably can find examples for the opposite in LCD 2.2 thread.
The best would be if you could try them before purchasing, although you need to spend a few days exclusively with NH to be able to fully appreciate what these headphones are capable of. (Natural, organic, life-like presentation.) LCDs are also quite heavy, while NH is one of the most comfortable headphone ever made.
In my case wallet made the decision, as the cheapest available LCD2s were around £600-700, while I luckily found a mint condition Hawks with only 20hrs in them for £290. My two best purchases ever are Mojo and the Nighthawk.
I do not miss anything from NH's bass, even with EDM. Being semi-open it has more authority in the bass department than open headphones, but less slam than the Fostex series. For my preference they are absolutely perfect. Great pairing with Mojo. Mojo's clarity helps darker headphones, and both NH and Mojo provide a very life-like and smooth sound, which the most obvious to hear is with vocals.
