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.

It is too short for my Hifiman HE-500 and my Audio Technica ATH-M50x, and it causes the headphones to rest on their cable connectors while applying side pressure on them, instead of fully on the headband.
Under these circumstances, my headphones were actually safer and more protected just laying on their side on the desk like they have been for years, this stand will definitely screw my connectors up and probably bend them over time, especially on the Hifiman HE-500.
I can't exactly remove the cables on the HE-500 every single day just so they fit on this thing, you all know how shitty, tedious and flimsy Hifiman connectors are, I don't want to break my headphones, I've had these since 2011, they are my favorite sounding headphones and they are not made anymore.
Surprised and disappointed at the same time TBH, was really not expecting that.
This stand is supposed to be for audiophile headphones, which are BIG and tend to have straight, long connectors.
If this thing was 5 centimeters taller, it would be perfect.
Very high build quality, though, even the packaging was nice.
Meh. At least I didn't buy 2 of them like I had originally planned to.
