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.

You don't have to tell me there is a problem with gaming headsets sounding better than these audiophile cans. I hear more of the instruments and a better bass with the blacksharks without sacrificing anything else. Are my ears just not trained to pick up on certain subtleties or what? What am I missing? I *want* to like these and they are by no means sound bad.... I'm using these on a vinyl turntable and a sony receiver from the early 2000's. Any ideas?
the main thing you could focus on is called soundstage. that is where you should more quickly notice a difference. these headphones are surprisingly capable of delivering a sound that appears 'far away' or 'outside' of your cup, especially considering they are not open-back. you're probably noticing a 'lacking' bass in comparison to your gaming headphones and feeling like you are missing out.
now some will say burn-in is bullshit....i would agree in some cases, but for the rx900's and any other JVC dynamic driver headphone/earphone, burnin makes a huge diff.....
not sure on these, but wouldnt be surpriced if they start sounding better at 30+hrs burnin...i have seen people say the highs become a bit more tame...(good there are some weird spikes these pickup...its not bad though...i can listen for hours without fatigue, unlike many other head/ear phones i have owned/used.
