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.

Listening to my first track. The Elex sounds amazing. Very dynamic presentation of rock guitar and drums.
Initial impressions (from literally only 5 songs): Product packaging is very luxerious. The retail box will serve very nicely for long term storage . Really nice build, with very atractive esthetics. The photos on Massdrop do not convey how attractive they are. The cables seem well made, but I can see upgrades for aftermarket cables some time in too distant future. On my head, they are hefty feeling., but are well balanced, not noticing any pressure spots on top or on my ears. The ear pads are really comfy. I wear glasses, I don't have or perceive pressure spots along the frame. There is plenty of bass, but no muddiness into the mids. Plenty of treble, but no piercing spikes. Vocals are very nice sounding. Neil Young sounds just right on this track. I might p-off the Sennheiser fan boys, but this HP is deffo a step up from the 6xx (which I also have). Stack is Win 10, Foobar, Gustard X12 DAC, Gustard H10 Amp.
Anticipating many long term listening sessions.
Edit: There is goodly amount of clamp. But not so much, that I would have to spread out the headphoine band for relief. No expectation for clamp related pain like some other HPs, (I'm ooking at you HD6xx)
There was a barcode on the outside of the box. There's a sticker under the right ear cup pad. There's a laser engraving under the right ear cup pad.
...sorry for your loss
I've paired the Elex with schiit magni 3 and modi 2 uber, and the aune x1 and x7s
