If you took the AudioQuest headphone apart, you’d find the inside of the earcup sporting a series of radial ribs. There is a lot more to this than meets the eye, however. Perhaps not the biggest surprise around, this makes for a very comfortable fit. The original NightHawk’s Liquid Wood ear cups a wood-effect finish that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike wood, but the process has developed allowing an elegant, none-more-black carbon finish into the mix.Īlso like its open-backed stable-mate, the NightOwl ear cup housings are shaped like human ears. NightHawk being open-backed never had that option.Īs with the first two designs, the NightOwl’s ear cups are made of ‘Liquid Wood’, an eco-friendly sustainable material that combines real tree with reclaimed plant fibre, all of which gets heated, liquefied, and processed so it can be injection moulded into shapes that would be almost impossible to make with traditional woodworking, all the while offering acoustic properties superior to those of conventional synthetic or plastic materials.

NightOwl is apt, because the stealthy, silent type that doesn’t leak sound into the environment so you can listen to music to your heart’s content while the rest of the family is watching TV or tuning into kittens on YouTube. The easy and over-simplistic way of looking at the NightOwl is it is a (mostly) sealed version of the open-backed NightHawk. The next saga in the AudioQuest story moves back to traditional audio, as the Niagra power conditioners roll out. As night follows day follows night, the NightOwl Carbon followed in the NightHawk’s clawprints.
These, too, were followed by the NightHawk Carbon (a revised version of the original, with the most obvious change being a move from wood-ish ear cups to carbon-ish). First came the Digital Critters (the DragonFly DACs and the JiitterBug, alongside the Beetle that’s still floating around the digital aether), but this was followed by the company’s first headphones, the NightHawk. It still makes those cables – covering every base from ‘cheap as chips’ to ‘I’ll collect them in my Friday helicopter’ – but has recently diversified its range significantly. AudioQuest used to be best known for a vast range of high-performance audio cables.
