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.

But it broke. Cheap plastic structure.
Next was ATH-M50(which I gave away recently) It isolates well and sounds pretty good. But the earpads suck and gets stiff and flat pretty soon. Need to replace the pads frequently and becomes expensive over time. 3rd party pads sound horrible.
Since then.... I still bought many headphones like Sennheiser HD598C, Monoprice M1060c, Fostex T-X0, Fostex TH-X00 Ebony... But the best result in terms of isolation is Shure SE846.
I would rotate among these and many other IEMs.
It really depends on what you are looking for.
Do not go for semi-open or Open back headphones if there are people sitting close to you.
Another thing you need to consider is... in case of office announcements including emergency evacuation broadcasts.... you might not be aware of them and some companies prohibit usage of isolating IEMs or Headphones.
