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 love the sounsdstage - great for both music and games
- Nice clarity and details, I always think I know my music, but every new headphones prove me wrong :)
- They have just the right amount of bass, imho bass sticker mod is not needed (tried it)
- Treble is really pearcing sometimes, songs with lot of "S" tend to be unpleasant. Two things helped: 1/ inserting paper towel between headphone and earcup (source: comments in http://www.head-fi.org/products/massdrop-x-hifiman-he350/reviews/15914) 2/ EQ 8kHz -2 dB and 16 kHz -4 dB
- comfort of stock HE350 is subpar but acceptable, pads are too hard and clamping force quite high (I have big head and glasses), but gradualy gets better
- I have bought Hifiman Focus pads, which are super comfy and add a bit of bass. They do nothing with highs, though.
- In comparison with AKG K553, I can say the will make a nice pair and I will use both :) HE350 is definitely better for rock/metal because of its basses and soundstage, AKG is more comfortable (even compared to focus pads) and they shine in indie/folk.
