Audioquest nightowl carbon review6/5/2023 ![]() With tons of detail and a strong sense of precision, the clarity in the Nighthawk Carbon’s low end is a thing of beauty. ![]() Finally, Total Harmonic Distortion seems low – probably close to <0.2% or <0.1%. ![]() Sound Pressure Level might appear a little low at first glance, but it’s about what I’d expect from a semi-open headphone. A low impedance of just 25 ohms means this headphone will work fine with low output devices. If I had to guess, I’d hazard the frequency range being somewhere around 12-30,000 Hz. SpecsĪs you can see from the specs, AudioQuest doesn’t offer any data regarding the frequency range or harmonic distortion. There’s a thickness to it that reassures you: this thing will never break. Perhaps the most serious-looking headphone cable I’ve ever seen, the audio cable is dual-entry. Padding on the headband and earpads is deep – you could wear these things all day (or night) and still be ready for more. The around-the-ear design easily ensconces your ears – even big elephant ears. Utilizing a suspension-type headband, the Nighthawk Carbon is light but durable. There’s also a short user guide and a 1/4” stereo adapter plug. Accompanying the headphones, you’ll find a softer drawstring pouch, a removable 4.25 ft (1.3 m) cable, and two sets of removable earpads – one suede set and one pleather set. The Nighthawk Carbon is comes in a huge, black pleather case. But at $699, is it worth the cash? AudioQuest Nighthawk Carbon Review Having heard some of the hype, I’m more than anxious to see how this semi-open headphone sounds. I wasn’t expecting the AudioQuest Nighthawk to arrive on my desk today, but I’m very glad it did. ![]()
