AudioQuest NightOwl Carbon Headphones Sweepstakes
Register to win a pair of AudioQuest NightOwl Carbon Headphones ($699.00 Retail Value) we are giving away.
According to the company:
A direct descendant of AudioQuest's award-winning NightHawk headphone, the closed-back NightOwl Carbon replaces its predecessor's biomimetic sound-diffusing grille with an intelligently designed aperiodic damping system for excellent isolation of external noise, ensuring privacy for the listener and those nearby.NightOwl ships with two sets of earpadsProtein Leather Boost Pads for slightly enhanced treble clarity and Ultrasuede pads for slightly reduced bass impactand includes a high-performance, non-microphonic cable with discrete mic/smartphone controls that enable phone calls and playback functions (Play, Pause, Skip) without compromising sound quality.
NightOwl's distinct packaging is actually an attractive travel case made of genuine leather, featuring a thickly padded internal compartment and accommodations for various headphone accessories. With NightOwl, AudioQuest hopes headphone enthusiasts will feel inspired to listen longer, later, and with greater pleasure, enjoying unsurpassed comfort and deep immersion in music, videos, and games.

Looking forward to hearing the good sound.
Oh dear gawd, I want those headphones :-D
I would like to replace my Grado RS-2 with something that is a bit more dynamic. I think these would fit the bill.
Hopefully a nice upgrade from my current over-the-ear AKG 240's and if I'm lucky, an improvement over my IEMs (Ultimate Ears something - I forget the model).
Update: They are UE Super.Fi 5 Pro
I'm due for some luck
I hope I win two pairs for quadrophonic sound! I know that wearing two sets of headphones (at right angles to each other) looks silly, but until you've heard sound coming from the center of your forehead and the back of your skull, you just have not lived.
I've heard 'em and they are great.
Some times its nice to have phones with isolation between me and the outside world.
I would cherish and enjoy them.

Mine, all mine!!
Yes, please.
This would be very nice indeed.
I've heard good things about these cans... closed-back design, but with opened-back sound characteristics; natural sounding and very comfortable. I'm looking forward to hooking these into my audio system in the near future.
Sign me up.
These would make my listening complete especially late at night when everything is quiet in the house.
I need these to help listen in the dark of night. It would be great to have the music right there with me.
Sound great! Esp. with Dragonfly Red.
I hope they come in left-handed
I need these headphones so I make my plea to The Universe: I will Win This Sweepstakes!

I've always loved AudioQuest's products.
These look awesome!

Winning these would be perfect timing for me. I soon will be without amplification for a time so some headphones would ease the pain.

...and would love to win these!
It would be perfect timing if I won. Been shopping for a new pair. Thanks
I'm intensely curious about these. I couldn't wrap my head around the liquidwood of the Nighthawk, but really, really want to hear a pair... And these, with better looks & tweaked performance, are almost too much to bear. Hope I win :)
I need a very comfortable pair to replace my Sennheisers. These look like they would do it.

I've been lusting after Audioquests headphones for a while now, Skylar is such a good engineer!
