My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

My impressions is that if you enjoy the SE215, you may not enjoy the 535. The 535s are revered in the audiophile community, but they're seriously not fun at all. They are extremely analytical to me, however. That may be what you're going for, though.
The mids are awesome. That's about all I can say about the 535s. The bass is seriously lacking - this is not a bass you can feel. Very minimal sub-bass. Instrument separation is pretty good. Highs are good, although this IEM is pretty sibilant and fatigued me often. Fit was great. Isolation was great.
In the $400 price range, I much prefer the Westone W series (W30 is what I have), and the SE535 is not worth it at all for just an average listener.
The SE535 is far from analytical, it is warm, lush with liquid mids and very smooth treble. Are you using silicone tips, or foam?
Made sure you're getting a good seal?
I wanted more treble sparkle from them, and found the bass was never lacking. I think you need to try some different tips if you find it lacking.
I don't think the audiophile community would ever say they are analytical. The SE425 is much more monitor like, with slight roll off on both ends.
