With the pleather pads the sound signature is on the warmer side of neutral but as we’ll explain in the next chapter, it is different from that of the NightHawk. The below impressions are based on the pleather pads. The voices sound more natural but the overall tone is a little warmer and musical compared to the more neutral microsuede pads. With the pleather pads you first of all get bigger bass impact and mid body with a more spacious feel. The result is a clear sounding headphone that’s closer to the typical neutral presentation.

Voices are precise and more forward as the mid body is also reduced a little. With the microsuede pads bass is civilized and close to neutral body-wise. The microsuede pads’ biggest impact is on the bass part as they reduce the bass body by quite a bit. It doesn’t take one minute to swap the pads and it’s impossible to put them on the wrong way but I wouldn’t suggest changing the pads all the time as the system might get worn out. The NightOwl comes installed with the protein leather pads but switching the pads is very easy with the click system AudioQuest decided to use.
