This is possible! I will head down again to try with other sources! Thanks for the insight!

No problem, @yong_shun,

Different sources do make a lot of difference, no pun intended !
How clean the audio signal is also a significant factor.

In this past time of ours, it is important to experience as much as possible, especially multiple times, especially at different levels with different gear.
Some low cost gear synergies well with high cost gear & vice versa usually much better than the same tier.
Especially in the last few years, there is a lot of chi fi gear, particularly the lower end, which sounds really good to exceptional more than a lot of pricer western gear which I find both sad & amusing but that's just me.
As more often than not, personally, I find myself lean more towards mid tier gear ( $500 to $800+ ) for sonic preferences rather than high tier ( $ 1000 ) though there is certainly some in the latter I really like but as would I ever own, not so sure.

Keep up the good work !

Hope you have a great day !

An update to this:

I did get the SE535. As a normy user, I did not notice many differences between them, but the audio is louder than the SE215 on the same volume levels.
I ended up returning the SE535 and got something totally new to me..the RHA T20 by..and it is AMAZING!
I love my SE215 a lot, I was really looking for "now, what is better and would sound different than these?" these ones really give me something new. The treble on my SE215 is not the best, but on the T20 is pretty good! The bass is also so clear and way better than the SE215. Also, they have these changeable filters that can boost treble or bass (subtle differences though, not that crazy).
Very long durable cable, inline controls with a mic (an OK mic, not that great).
The build quality is magnificent, but with a price. They have fine metal casings, which is a bit heavier on my ears than the SE215. Sometimes I really forget I'm wearing the SE215, but the same with the T20. It's NOT that they are uncomfortable, I just mean that they are heavier than the SE215.
I got them for about $200, which is half the price of the SE535.

Overall, I'm really satisfied with these, and thank you all for your recommendations!
