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.

Just like the t40 and any of the xxrp headphones, they do sound better with a good amp as you have pointed out. Modifying these headphones to sound as good as they do takes considerable effort as we have sourced the wood, CNC'd it, constructed the earpads out of our own design, and spent countless hours to get great bass extension and treble linearity along with reducing the distortion innate in these driver enclosures which involves opening the driver enclosure and in many cases replacing parts to match the drivers.
I'm so sorry you don't feel they are a good value, but I really appreciate you trying them out!
Also, a larger case would allow the headphones to fit snugly. That's the point of the foam insert. A protective case really should be large enough to have a foam insert between the headphones (or whatever you put inside) and the hard plastic walls. You can see this idea demonstrated in pretty much all of Pelican's product pics - see attached picture for a full, snuggly packed case that still has room for padding.
I won't have a chance to do so until tomorrow, but I'd be happy to take a picture to show the problems with the case that you've offered here.
