Please help. Bewildered by the options.

I've had the NightHawks for a few years and really enjoy them, but I am about to order a new amp (GSX Mini) and want to take the opportunity to try some new balanced headphones with them.

Have any of you done something similar? What did you end up with and how do you like your purchase?

Thanks.

Don't even think twice.
They are excellent.

If you aren't aware, all you need is a new cable to run the Nighthawks balanced. If you're looking for new headphones, most dual entry headphones can be run balanced (some single entry headphones too), you just need to purchase the appropriate cable for your amp.

Just how similar is the Zeus to the Hawks/Owls?

This. If you don't want to go the custom cable route, Arctic Cables have a balanced cable for your headphones, available on ebay.

The Hawks have a very warm Timbre, lots of overtones, ......warm sounding headphones.
I liked them, but i felt they were a little overcooked regarding the low mids.
The HDZeus have some of this warmth as well, yet with more detail and a better high end.
The Zeus were $500, and just recently became $350, ... probably because they are about to ship a lot of GS2000s.
Drop placed a large order .

Hello there.

I just want to respond to thank you for your advice. I did some research into your suggestion, and having watched Zeos review it on YT I ordered a pair; I also ordered the Mass Drop THX AAA 789 HPA to go with it. Thanks again!

Would you say that the Zeus is equally as dark in the high mids as the NightOwl? Does the Zeus sound more forward, opposed to distant with the NightOwl? If so, are we talking slight or significant?
