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.

That said, I still use my 535's daily on a Cowon Plenue D with a replaced cable and Comply foam tips, and still enjoy my music during the daily work commute. I doubt I could justify to spend much more on IEM's though, now that I've paid this much for a set. Do I recommend them? Yes. Would I spend that much again on them going from something in the same series? No. Because the Shure Sound Signature is still there, you don't get that 'whoa' effect when you change. But there is definitely a noticeable difference between the two sets, but you're getting into the 'diminishing returns' in terms of price. (Where the SE215's destroy 20-30 dollar earpods for maybe 3 times the price, the 'destroy' factor I don't believe is there from 215 > 535.
If you were looking to spend a few hundred, consider a different line/brand entirely to get that more noticeable change in tonality and quality.
