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.

I've been listening to it for the past week now and I must say that these headphones are really warming up to me. At first I thought it was okay but not worth the $650CAD (after custom and conversion) but after some burn in time I think they are pretty good. I don't have any other headphones in this price range to compare to ... but here is my quick review. The treble is smooth and enough detail to enjoy the music without being tired. The bass hits hard and clean (on some poorly recordings the bass could be bloated). Mids at first was too recessed for me, but now I feel like it's just right .. enough to enjoy it but not too forward that it takes away from the soundstage. Imaging is spot on. Lastly, the comfort and looks are just added bonuses.
Only a few things to make these headphones perfect for me 1. Fully closed headphones (not sure how without sacrificing the sound quality) 2. Detachable cables
I'm running this with my Fiio X5 on high gains with flac files and seems to have no troubles powering it.
Kudos to Massdrop and team for a successful drop. Awesome customer service and headphones. Satisfied customer.
Without really any technical terms.. this is the best way I can describe it.
Low gains is more mellow.. does everything well but not much excitement. High gains makes the music more alive, bass hits harder, mids and highs shines a bit more..
update; so I wore these headphones for 2.5 hours straight ... it does get a bit hot and my ears were relieved when I took them off for a 5 mins break.
@zepthompson: I didn't even bother using the adaptor that came with it, been using the sennheiser adaptor and no issues at all.
