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.

- The sound stage is actually way bigger than anything I have heard before, it's really nice and the sounds feel further away and just really enjoyable in that aspect. - The highs... Woah, I thought my XBA-4 sony earpods were sibilant, these are just many times worse... Like it actually ruins the listening experience for particular songs. It's not really with singing, and I find just some part of the song is really sharp and it actually hurts. On other songs, it sounds really nice, and there is actually a decent amount of bass... - the bass is good, it's there and it's not as recessed IMO although YMMV. It's just that the highs can sometimes make it unbearable to listen to. - There is like no sound isolation, that's kind of expected. Also, if you play these, the grills leak sound so overall not a very nice option for public transport. - The clamping force is strong, and I have a small head so I can't even fathom what it must be like for most other people haha/
Overall, the biggest problem is these highs. I think the bass mod is pretty good but I would rather a mod that tames the highs... The low end is good as it is right now. I'll update when I listen to it, and this is just the experience of a rather new-to-headphones audiophile, usually listen to iems so the soundstage sounds so much bigger.
