Depends what kind of K-Pop you listen to? The Shure`s have more neutral bass with sub-bass roll-off and recessed highs that may lack the punch and sparkle for electronic k-pop. For Ballads, piano, any kind of vocals sure, they put the singer in front of the instruments. However you might be better to look at some westone iem`s (such as the w30 or w40) which are more u shaped and will do the opposite and I find them to be more versatile. Otherwise if you can find a set of westone um50 pro`s in your price range, they are more balanced and would support more genres. I owned the se535 LTD`s too and really liked them, but they were polarizing with different music types.
