Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

I found that even for a negative profile IEM, the stems are very shallow, so you may find using a size larger tip than you're used to in order to get a good seal, of which they include 4 sizes of silicon tips. Sound isolation appears to be not as good as se215, even after I've gotten a good seal, so I may be picking up some double/triple flange tips to get a better seal on these.
Otherwise, first impressions are great, very happy with the $20 spent so far! Cable length is decent enough, materials feel good. It's unexpected to find the microphone (in my version) on the right earphone, but it doesn't bother me and it's at a good position an inch or two below the chin. Above the cable split, a slider to keep the cable tidy is included, and this portion appears to be a bit over 12" so plenty comfortable in that regard. For cable noise, I've heard better but I've heard a LOT worse so I think they did great for the price.
I'll have to get back to you guys on my opinion of the sound, but these are my first impressions so let me know if anyone has any questions! For the first few songs I've listened to I'll say that I'm not offended by anything particularly out of balance. I'm going ahead and requesting that they drop again to pick up a 2nd pair.
