Introducing NightOwl Carbon & NightHawk Carbon. Next Generation Headphones from AudioQuest
Feb 12, 2017 at 1:34 PM Post #331 of 422
When I tried to listen to the NightOwls on my iPhone it kept opening Siri every 10 seconds. This has never happened with any of my other headphones. Does anybody else have experience with this issue? It's the original cord but I don't have another to see if that's the problem. It also works fine with my Zune.


It's the cable, I have the same problem. Use another cable and it'll be fine

Any recommendations for a new cable?


I've gotten several cables off Amazon, just look for cables for the Sol Republic, Oppo PM-1, or Sennheiser HD 700.

A lot of the cables are very similar or exactly the same, but priced a lot cheaper if you search "Sol Republic" instead of Oppo or Sennheiser.

It's most likely not the cable.
 
Most (maybe all?) headphone manufacturers have these types of issues with smartphones. The problem 99% of the time is that there is dirt/dust/lint/debris in your headphone jack that needs to be cleaned out.
 
Turn your device off. clean out the jack thoroughly with an alcohol wipe and something like a paper clip or a small pipe-cleaner-like brush. Be extremely careful. Also give the cable plug a good polish with the included silver polishing cloth. 
 
Try this and report back.

When is Perch coming @SkylarGray?

 
 
  Seems like vaporware. 

Patience my good friends. We finished up our production on schedule as I mentioned here:

During CES we said the ship-to-customer date would likely be in February. It looks like we are still on schedule.
 
We will have them in stock either next week or the week after.

The cable provided with NightOwls is quite a bit disappointing when I try to use it with desktop setup.
Is there any chance that Audioquest will have in the offer longer not portable cable for sale (maybe balanced)?

I bought a $15 cable on ebay, should be delivered today. You can get it from 1.2m up to 2.5m long. Don't expect silver plated oxygen free copper at that price but it should work OK
