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.

At work, I have to use IEMs or closed-back headphones so that I don't disturb my co-workers. I usually use closed-back over-ear headphones because they are 1) visible, so people know that I can't hear them if the walk up to talk to me, 2) easier to put on / take off when necessary, and 3) generally more comfortable for me to wear for hours vs. IEMs, though I can imagine that is a personal preference. At work, I usually listen to Fostex TH-X00 headphones.
On airplanes, buses, or whatever, including when I walk to a cafe for lunch during my workday, I usually use IEMs because they are easier to bring with me. I have a bunch of IEMs scattered around in different places. The ones I use most often are Final Audio Design Heaven II, LH Labs Vibrato, JH Audio JH-13 Pro, and Zero Audio Carbo Tenore and Basso.
Whatever your requirements, there are headphones (and amps, if you want an amp) to meet your needs. Personally, I enjoy trying different headphones and related gear.
