HiFiMan HE-1000 Headphones vs Reference Speakers ?

The review of the Audioquest Nighthawk phones is flawed. The reviewer admits that he is really a speaker guy, has AKG 701 phones as his go-to phones and warns not to critically listen for 150-200 hours minimum (for break-in). I love headphones, but an hour a day is plenty. That means six months before I'm comfortable comparing the Nighthawks to my Stax or even the Hifiman HE-1000 that they compete with. At $600 the Nighthawks are probably a bargain, but I'll stick with my Stax or spring for the Hifiman HE-1000 if I want a change.

HA! HA! VERY FUNNY! Tonykay....?

I bet if you matched up these AudioQuest NightHawk headphones with a Wells Audio HeadTrip amp you would have a match made in Headphone Heaven!....Audio Nirvana!!

tonykay, most headphone need 150 to 200hour to reach best sound.

I don't believe in it ,headphones will be headphones,yes they might dig out more details,but never will give impression of speakers,every model of headphones have they own imperfection.Reviewers usually it mask politely:)
Bullshit,then people in studios where recordings are made always must wait 200hours:D
