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 guess if it's for using them around the house untethered you might have a rare exception that would seem viable... Adapters with AptX HD or LDAC are still rare tho and regular BT would be a bottleneck, nevermind the quality of the analog stage on anything small and battery powered...
Short of using these with a Fulla 2 +phone + a USB battery pack strapped to Batman's utility belt, I'd just get something easier to drive for any kind of wireless setup. PM-3, Meze, lower end Senn 5xx series if it really has to be open, etc. I generally use closed headphones or IEM for any kinda mobile setup but Koss PortaPros or KSC35/75 are good cheap open solutions (my go-to for skiing or running outside the park).
More seriously, if you’re looking for wireless headphones in a fixed environment, take a look at Senn’s RS series. They’re not as refined as the HDs but I hooked an amp up between my TV and the RS-180 base and have great sound as I slide around the kitchen prepping steak across from the living room.
