I have both sets of IEM's and I find that the C3's have a wider sound field (if that makes sense). Both have very good definition across the high and mid range but the C3 seems to be a bit tighter and cleaner in the bass portion of the curve. I was able to hear more definition with them as well - the sound was very "up-front" and the drivers handle just about any type of music you might throw their way.

Hope that helps.
