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.

DF compensated? Check. Linear bass? Check. Flush fit with detachable over-ear cables? Check.
It's almost as if I designed this for myself. I've been wondering why such an IEM didn't exist already.
Thank you so much for investing the time and effort into making this happen. I'm sure they'll be a great set of IEMs for a very long time.
The housing of this IEM (from the pictures) has the same notch that my HiFiMans do, so I'd assume that the cable should work, but don't quote me on that.
One more issue with regard to warranty. I understand that there is a one-year warranty period. If very unfortunately my Plus runs into some issues, can it be repaired? Should I expect a somewhat higher labour/parts cost as these are mass produced?
How do these compare to UE triplefi10? Does anybody know?

Fully agree that the Massdrop Plus will sound quite different from the TF10.
I don't think Tyll is going to use OW though. Didn't he make a big post about a new curve recently? There was some controversy over his choice to not compensate the bass region at all.
No bass boost 🤷♂️
The new compensation looks like it creates an increase in "perceived" upper midrange and treble regions. In other words, instead of adjusting the bass, he decided to adjust both the treble and midrange. The new compensation essentially requires that headphones don't need to produce as much midrange and treble to be considered "neutral". Think of it this way, if I wanted to EQ the bass, I have two choices, adjust he bass by itself or adjust both the treble and the midrange. I can EQ the bass up, but I can also get a similar outcome if I adjust both the midrange and treble down. He's decided to do the latter rather than the former.
