![]() Wholly crap, what I night and day difference. I decided to just put them on the stand and let them burn well over the recommended 150 hours without listening to them again. Then I started headphone swapping one right after the other (Cardinal sin) and I REALLY disliked them immensely. Out of the box I absolutely loved them because they were so different. First off, my audiophile lingo is just not there so in layman terms. Right now if I had to keep one I'd go for the 610 but the improvement on the nightowls during burn in has been impressive and they sound good enough at the moment to make me want to reach the full 150 hours before making a decision. For my ears I definetly prefer the 610 but I have had enjoyment out of the nightowls. They are a little brighter up top as well. By contrast the TH-610 are far more netural in the bass, but not lacking at all, and more mid forward. They are a little low in presence but not mid-scooped. ![]() For sound signature I'd say they are bass emphasisied and dark ish but still with good trebble extention. I'm currently at the 60 - 70 hour mark and have to say they have really started to improve in the last 10 or so hours. Audioquest recommend 150 hours which seems like a lot. I've always been sceptical about burn in but the nightowls have really opened me up to it. ![]() The nightowls are very good headphones but sound awful out of the box. I have a pair as well as a pair of Fostex TH-610 which I can compare against.
