![]() ![]() The reduction in the midbass also opens up the treble, and allows more detail to come through in the upper frequencies. The soundstage on the Nightowl is already very impressive by default, but this EQ improves its capabilities even further. Transportable: Foobar2000 > TEAC HA-P50 > AudioQuest NightOwl Carbon Portable: Android > TEAC HA-P50 > Pioneer HDJ-2000 or Grado iGe. If anyone decides to try this EQ, you will notice as well that the soundstage gains slightly more width and depth as well as a result of the reduction in the midbass. More people need to experience the Nightowl before the remaining stock in stores in gone. I will put up a final EQ to use with the ultrasuede pads later as well.Įdit: I hope everyone else is still enjoying their pair too. The A5’s mids are very musical and a little warmer and this suits the NightOwl better than the more sterile presentation of the RHA L1. This should be the darker version, but in images they’re so shiny so it’s hard to say.

I think you will be totally impressed with it. Anyone who has had their Nightowl for quite a while, and knows it is fully burned in, should give this EQ a try with the pleather pads. I now have a slightly updated EQ to use with the pleather pads. It turns out that in the last two weeks or so, the Nightowl has continued to change and mature in its sound. I must admit, what I said before about the headphone finally being burned in at 150 hours of use was not totally accurate. Who knows how many hours I have on this puppy at this point. ![]() It has been a while since I posted on my Nightowl. ![]()
