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.

For now, I am listening music through my mobile phone (Xiaomi Mi5s with VLC player) and a pair of basic, but decent headphones. So I want something similar in terms of portability (something I can take with me around the house), but I do not know what I need. I guess that listening to music through the mobile phone is not advisable, so you will probably advise me to buy a decent music player (FiiO or Shanling, maybe?).
Should I get just a pair of good headphones (Fostex for $499) or would I be better off getting some sort of medium range headphones (AKG K7XX, Sennheiser HD6XX) and then a DAC (I don't even know what is the purpose of this device) or an MP3 and an amplifier...
So back to my question: Could you advice me what would be the best option/combo if you only had $500 to spend?
