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.

There are a long line of things I think are far more important in a BT headphone than the BT version number - the headphone drivers themselves, the DAC and amp used within the headset (any BT headphone has its own internal DAC/Amp), the codec (in my experience aptX doesn't help with sound quality, but definitely with latency), etc.
In theory, if all else is equal, get the latest BT version. But in reality, all else is never equal. It will make far more difference what IEM you plug into the ends of this, than the BT version does. You can feel comfortable prioritizing form factor, comfort, etc, over BT version. You won't be missing anything.
When looking at bluetooth for audio the most important things to look for are ATX and AAC (if you have an apple product)
APTX > AAC > SBC
