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.

In term of build quality I say it is very detailed, but may look not be durable, though it is. Wire had been snatched a few times from getting caught and I had done a stress test by pulling the earphone out from the ear (do not recommend you trying this). Everything is fine. The wire is supported to the aluminum casing by some plastic piece that is holding on the wire (the more you know).
For under $50 IEM earphone, these outshine most. For me, it is an above average earphone. The frequency is aimed toward the mid-bass and the vocal (according to the frequency response chart on Google search) in which is great for listening most genre. But if Final Audio decide to ask for a change in frequency target, I said it would be slightly increasing the mid-range, but not the vocal and bumping down a couple decibal from the mid-bass section. The bass is perfect and very realistic, the vocal is slightly muffled by the mid-bass compared to my Audio Technica ATH-M20X, but when you talk about portability these make the Audio Techica ATH-M20X fall flat to its face.
If you haven't own a pair of studio/professional before or have never seen the frequency reponse please do check them out before trying to shove a opinion to facts please.
And lastly to defend the Audio Technica ATH-M20X, it is a audiophile headphone, as a matter of fact, most are. You wouldn't like for me to say that Beats Studio (the first one) is not a audiophile grade headphone would you? And most audiophile don't have to use our headphone or earphone in order to be "considered" audiophile. We use equipments that is far more accurate than headphone since every human have a different hearing perception. After all is it called "audiophile" because we love high-grade audio, not just headphones.
For myself, I'm not a fan of AT 'phones but I know tons of people are, they're just not close to flat, however. That's all :)
