My name is grizzlybeast and I'm an audioholic.
That would be an interesting road Docta...
LCD3 to the NH... I dont think the Eikon will dissapoint.

What are the differences?
Any impressions on sound isolation? I'm looking for a great sounding set of cans that I can use for the plane. Was wondering if impressions could be had in regard to that here, or if Skylar could say anything on the subject.
Headphone | Attenuation (dB) |
NightOwl Carbon | 26.1 |
$300 Closed-Back | 20.9 |
$300 ANC (on) | 21.1 |
>$1000 Closed-Back | 17.8 |
^Yes that too. But the range I am speaking of is from 250 - 550 hz. Somewhere in that area and the upper mids are sucked out. A dark headphone is fine, a bright hp is fine, a muddy headphone is fine. They all have thier respective crouds and work well for certain songs.
I like a lot about the NH.
It has wonderful bass quality and extension with good control. The textures are pure and liquid. The background is black. It has good inner detail. Very resolving and scales like madd. Good micro dynamics. The midrange is not shouty, the treble is not bright. The treble actually has some extension. Awesome comfort, ergonomics, and build.
But it has the middle-upper midrange sucked out, and the mudd frequencies boosted.
I just say its a shame because a headphone that does so much right has a strong handicap.
You do realize that if they were to "fix" the "handicap", it is possible that the "so much right" would go out the window?

No I don't realize that. I also have reasonable reasons to doubt it.
What are the differences / advantage to the new night owl over the old?
How do these compare to the T5-P ?
very interested
I suspect he means old Nighthawks. From what I gather it boosted treble and tightened up bass. Also come with velour pads which is always a plus from leather pads.
