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.

i compared them side by side to the se215 and i swear to god the pro sounded better.
this'll probably last longer though
I understand that they are going for that darker and warmer/smoother sound. But there's a difference between a dark sound and straight up muffled and recessed 20$ earbud quality. The frequency graphs don't lie after all.
Next to the Tennmark pro, Meelectronics M6PRO is another example if a much cheaper and better sounding IEM compared to Shure.
Unfortunately Shure has many admirers and fans who are swearing by it and defending it, so naturally any negative comments or critique about Shure will get extra hate from the fans.
I really love how Shures are built, impressive, comfy and durable, isolating sound very well. But the sound was just a no. I tried all models from the SE215 to 535 and they are suffer from the extremely muffled and recessed frequencies, some more and some less, but it's still not a clear and detailed sound like you'd expect for the price... (and yes, I did have a good seal in my ear before someone points to that) I hope I won't get stoned alive for saying this.
but imo, they are so insanely overrated and with the advent of cheap chi fi with removable cables, not worth. 1 se215 is three tennmaks!
