I set this up within the USB Audio Player Pro android app on my Galaxy Note 5. I mostly just used the above graphic and the numbers detailed on his above-linked page as a baseline to come up with my own preferred parametric EQ. Here is a page on his site where he details the particular numbers for his EQ settings for all of this headphones Getting started was easy enough as Dale kindly posted his NightHawk EQ setting to his website: So, while my curiosity was high, my expectations were low. First, let me say that to me EQ'ing headphones in my experience makes them sound like trash. But he has made some bold claims about the NightHawk when used with EQ, so I thought perhaps I should give it a try myself to see it there was anything to it. I don't know Dale at all, so I don't know if his personal sound preferences match up with mine or anything like that. And the interesting thing about the Nighthawk to me is how much it improves with a modest EQ – much more for less EQ than any other headphone of the 150 I’ve owned." And BTW, very smooth – the opposite of rough. I simply flattened the awful response with this curve, then it was wonderful sounding. "No way did I ever “adjust” to its sound. "The NH is like a chameleon – it not only scales unusually well (given its not-so-good starting point), but it EQ’s much better than anything I know." Like the old Chinese proverb – look in the pot, there might be gold inside." Why EQ a Nighthawk when you can just buy a “better” headphone for less? Because the end result is better with the Nighthawk. but change the response even a little with EQ, and a marvelous hi-fi sound jumps out. "The frequency response, or signature, is definitely like molasses on a cool day – thick, syrupy, dark …. Here are some of the things Dale has said on the topic: Some of the things he has said piqued my interest regarding use of the NightHawk in tandem with a parametric equalizer. On another note, there have been some curious things said by a particular NightHawk owner Dale Thorn. I thought I read one reviewer who liked that DFR Red better with the NightHawk than with the Mojo because the Mojo gives a little too much bass to the already bassy NightHawk, but I can't find the source at the moment. I think most reviewers recognize that the Mojo is a better sounding device generally, but that the DFR comes alarmingly close for the price and is more convenient because of its size. Note that all items valued over $500 will require a signature upon delivery.Well, I cannot comment on the Mojo because I have not heard it but can say from my experience so far with the DragonFly Red than it synergizes beautifully with the NH.
