AudioQuest NightHawk Headphones vs LIVE MUSIC ???

That's the best review I've read of the AQ NightHawk. After listening to them myself, I have to agree that the sonic signature is not for everyone, myself included.

I think that AQ has a decent set of cans on their hands. However, the price tag suggests reference-caliber performance and for that I feel the design needs to be tweaked.

This is the second posting in less than a week from the same member comparing the same product. What will these phones be compared to next...sliced bread?

It looks like the Meridian Prime headphone amp is a great match with these NightHawks...
