I got a Nighthawk after seeing all the hype about them. Can't say I'm that impressed, sure it's a nice to listen to headphone: smooth, warm and inoffensive. But I don't find it particularly special, it doesn't really seduce me and I'd call it mid fi at most. And don't even get me started on its looks  8)

As always...would be curious how they respond to mods...Personally, I find it easier to bring a thick, warm, smooth headphone up to where it needs to be tonally compared to a bright one (yes, exceptions to be found everywhere, just a broad generalization).

From the info they posted it sounds to me that the problem is in the driver not the housing. Ofcourse I could be wrong so go for it hanz

Yeah, maybe. I just have to imagine there's some way it can be modded to change the tuning. I ain't dropping the money on it to try.
