The earcups are made of liquid wood and are absolutely gorgeous and premium to look at. A lot of the materials used are highly flexible which allows you to bend and adjust the fit easily without necessarily changing anything. It starts with what they call as a patent-pending suspension system that prides itself on having as few moving parts as possible, hence a one-size-fits-all type of fit. The build of this headphone is superb but I feel it’s not that apparent if you’re used to the more traditional way a headphone is built.

The leather case doubles as the actual packaging of the headphone which minimizes waste while reinforcing practicality. Inside the luxurious leather case, you’ll find 2 drawstring bags (1 for the headphone, the other for the cable), 2 cleaning cloth (1 for the plug, the other for the headphone), a quarter-inch adapter, the actual cable, and of course the headphone. The actual packaging is straightforward and in my opinion, complements the look of the headphone.

Does the Audioquest NighOwl fit in either of those applications? Well, let’s find out. Until that time comes, the only allure of getting a headphone of this type is you get some noise isolation and no leakage which are both perfect for office work environments or studio applications. Higher-end sealed headphones don’t usually give out a good price-performance ratio mainly because they don’t really deliver the same type of performance that their open back counterparts usually have.
