To the very extent that it is possible and practical, we avoid the use of plastics in designing and manufacturing our headphones. In our headphones, we’ve used Liquid Wood to shape our earcups to more closely resemble the human ear, thereby providing a more complete and comfortable fit, reducing stress on the listener’s head and ears. Moreover, compared to ordinary plastic or wood, Liquid Wood has far superior acoustic properties and provides a seemingly endless array of geometric possibilities. While injection molding is commonly accomplished with environmentally hazardous plastics or synthetic polymers, Liquid Wood is a natural material-as sustainable as it is physically beautiful. NightOwl’s earcups are made from a revolutionary material called “Liquid Wood”-actual wood that has been combined with reclaimed plant fiber, heated, liquefied, and processed in such a way that it can be injection molded. Just place NightOwl over your head and let it do its thing. In this simple way, the headpad automatically adjusts to the listener’s head-no clicking, snapping, cranking, or guessing involved-guaranteeing an easy, comfortable fit, time and time again. An inner elastic band is concealed by a soft, modestly cushioned pad, which yields and rises when met by resistance or pressure.
NightOwl’s headpad attaches to its outer headband via small, swiveling pins located on either side of the headband’s base, just above the suspension’s yoke. More than merely capable of providing short-term pleasure, NightOwl is designed to deliver satisfaction that endures. Its combination of effortless clarity and outstanding representation of space produces meaningful, emotionally compelling listening experiences.

It employs a carefully constructed bio-cellulose diaphragm, voice-coil former, and compliant rubber surround, resulting in quality that is as easily seen as it is heard.ĭesigned for exceedingly low distortion and high excursion with true pistonic motion, NightOwl’s driver contributes significantly to the headphones’ well-controlled bass, rich midrange, and naturally extended highs. Sophisticated, Loudspeaker-inspired Design for Remarkable ResolutionĬompared to the drive-units commonly used in most headphones, NightOwl’s 50mm dynamic driver much more closely resembles the high-quality drive-units found in today’s most sophisticated loudspeakers-not simply in appearance, but, more importantly, in terms of function and performance.

Thus, unlike other headphones that use a sealed enclosure, NightOwl is designed to effectively relieve the buildup of pressure, allowing the drivers to breathe freely, ensuring that any impulses quickly return to an innocuous resting state-with no ringing, oscillation, or resonance. Hidden beneath the central circular portion of NightOwl’s earcups, a vent runs along the perimeter of each dome and exits through a hidden airflow-resistive port.
The closed-back NightOwl Carbon further advances the state of the headphone art, replacing NightHawk’s sound-diffusing grille with an intelligently designed aperiodic damping system for excellent isolation of external noise.
