Audioquest Nighthawk Headphones

A really nice looking and sounding pair of headphones from specialist cable manufacturers AudioQuest. In good fully working condition with some obvious wear to headband – please see photographs. They will be supplied in original case with headphone cable and our regular three month warranty.
AudioQuest Say….
AudioQuest’s full-bore assault on both the state of the headphone art and on the limits to which quality, innovation, and sustainability can be achieved at an affordable cost. Every aspect was carefully optimized for high levels of sonic, ergonomic, and aesthetic performance.
NightHawk’s earcups are made from a revolutionary material known as “Liquid Wood,” which offers outstanding acoustic properties and is environmentally friendly. NightHawk’s sophisticated loudspeaker inspired earcup enclosures incorporate support beams that enhance structural integrity and minimize unwanted resonances and vibrations. An elastomer coating is carefully applied to the enclosures’ internal surfaces to further reduce harmful vibrations, while a damping material comprising a purposeful blend of wool and polyester enables an extraordinarily smooth,
natural frequency response.
NightHawk is the first completely original production headphone to use a 3D-printed part—a biomimetic grille that uses a complex diamond-cubic latticework to diffuse sound and defeat resonances.
NightHawk’s 50mm pistonic drivers have a bio cellulose diaphragm designed to take advantage of the material’s outstanding rigidity and high-frequency control, while its patented split-gap motor has been devised to significantly reduce intermodulation distortion.
NightHawk’s flexible headband efficiently distributes the headphones’ weight, providing a sure and simple fit designed to minimize clamping force and enable long listening sessions. Finally, NightHawk’s patent-pending suspension system allows its earcups to move freely, accommodating heads of any shape or size, while decoupling the earcups, further counteracting harmful resonances.
Of course, NightHawk benefits from AudioQuest’s 30+ years of experience in the high-performance cable business, including a headphone cable purposefully designed to minimize distortion and provide a deep emotional connection to the music. It uses many of the same ingredients found in our speaker cables and interconnects, including high-purity Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors, Foamed Polyethylene insulation, Noise-Dissipation System (NDS), and silver-plated terminations. We also include a custom 1/4”- to-3.5mm headphone adaptor that features thick Direct-Silver plating over the highest quality base metal, resulting in a part that isn’t merely functional, but up to the standards of NightHawk itself.
With NightHawk, AudioQuest worked from the ground up, while never losing sight of the ultimate goal – to celebrate the singularly moving experience of listening to music through high-quality headphones.
