Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
Question for yall I just got a JVC SUAX7 and a Fostex HPP1 dac/amp to compare. They both sound great except there is a slight hiss in the background when there is no sound yet on a song. Do you guys know why this is? They are both set in low gain mode with a usb hooked up to my iPhone 6.- danlam

The star tips do something funky with the bass. It is not as full as with the shure foam tips. It sounds more flabby to me with the stars. Clarity is excellent though.- danlam

As an update, I am really loving the Westone Star tips, these seal the deal with the JVC (copper?) cable attached. The cable definetly adds more warmth and smoothness as opposed to the stock cable, creating a similar sound signature as the FX 850s. The tips maintain the intrinsic clarity of the...- danlam

As a side note, i just switched out the cables from my jvc 850s to the 846s, these things are now KILLER! So much more lush and organic now and kept all the clarity. Anyone know what the difference between these cables are?- danlam

So it turns out the tips make the difference. I was originally using the grey silicone tips. But those have such tiny bores so i switched to the black foamies. The sound really opens up with deeper bass and impact. However, the clarity takes a hit. Are there solicone wide bore tips that...- danlam

Ill hang in there for a bit. These are so incredibly accurate that I can't seem to find myself "enjoying" them that much (at least at the 1k price). I don't bob my head or feel like singing along compared to the fx 850s. I dont melt away into the music. There is less of an experience with...- danlam

Well i just got my 846s and I think they are very good. However, I am not completely floored as I was expecting. My source is my iphone6/macbook pro w/ spotify 320 and I am throwing out all genres. They do sound very clear but I feel like they lack impact compared to my JVC Fx 850s...- danlam
