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.
