I only hear the hiss/noise only when the iPhone is plugged in. I don't hear any of it when I listen with screen on/off. Not much of an issue to me. I still like my iPod 5.5 generation more :) (Should I iMod it?)

Hi guys, is it just me, or the stock cable that comes with the SE846 is super hard to remove?   My cable is a bit faulty. When the swooping earpiece isn't in the right position, sometimes, at an angle, my right earpiece has no audio... I reckon it's the cable as the audio is fine most of the...

Thanks for the replying man DJ-ing as in mixing... Just thought it might be cool to have an alternative to mix with SE846 instead of my Sennheiser HD8 DJ (I wear glasses, so having a headphone on me for long periods hurts my ears)   I'm using a DJM 900 nexus right now, and my god, at 25-30%...

Hey I have a quick question. Can the SE846 handle DJ-ing well?

Hello all. Does anyone have a comparison between this and the Sennheiser HD8 DJ? I wanna know! Currently owned the HD8, not sure if I should get the Philips A5 Pro as well.

I'm using this with SE846. Sounds great! I didn't turn the high gain though... using low gain around 30-40% volume level on the amp.

Hello.  I was wondering at roughly what volume level will it start to damage the SE846? I'm new to this impedance concept, so I just wanna make sure at around what db to avoid and for how long the SE846 can stand loud signals. (I know the file source volume matters too, but I'm asking a...

I was wondering if anyone have a RWA/DIY iMod 5.5 generation. How does the SE846 sound with an imod? Going to mod my iPod soon... and am excited to hear the results.   (FYI: I don't need a 24bit "hi-res" DAP at the moment. Most of my files are 16bit/44.1kHz ALAC, 320kbps MP3 and 256kbps AAC)

  Gotcha... it was like 4am to me and I must have interpreted it wrong :P Thanks for your reply!

Oh that's the Red Wine Audio's iMod Thanks for your reply though! I'll do a little bit more research before doing anything!

Hello I'm new to this iMod area-of-interest as I just recently found an old usable iPod 5.5.... never would have imagined how much I missed. There's a DIY modding service in Hong Kong that uses the following:   Elna SILMIC II 47uf Nichicon MUSE ES 47uf Nichicon MUSE Fine Gold 47uf As I...

what's your setup right now?    Congratulations on the new SE846!

hey all, what are some of the cables you guys are using for the SE846? I'm thinking about getting some cables, but never done a lot of research in this area yet.    I did learn that copper wires (the one used in the SE846) are generally better for bass lovers...   What are some of the stuff...

Question: So even with iMod + Rockbox, all 24bit / 48kHz FLAC/ALAC files in the harddrive will be downsampled to 16bit/44.1kHz, even if I pair it up with a headphone amp like the Fiio E12A with Fiio L3's LOD cable?   I know this is topic is on Rockbox, but might as well just ask here: so in...

Not unless you mod it :) (iMod) But it goes up to 24bit / 48kHz max..... I think anything goes beyond that, the iPod can't read it

Just got the E12A as well... going to pair it with an old iPod 5.5 generation modded (coming its way) Using Shure SE846 for it, and just for fun, I paired it up with an iPhone 6...   I would say the bass picks up the biggest boost.... a lot more "omfph" with bass boost on, which is great for...

  Nice! I'm excited for my iPod! I'm such a Apple fanboy, and I'm glad a legendary device can still hold on it's on 8 years later... =)

  Hey Dinerenblanc, thank you for the reply! I actually just bought the Fiio E12A for now... it'll be used with my iPod 5.5 generation (thinking of iModing it soon).... I know that this option isn't the best, but I really don't have tons of hi-res audio... When 24bit or even DSD files are...

  The original balanced one!     You're right!!! I tested another song in the AK240 demo unit... this time it's Eagles - Hotel California.... (24bit / 192kHz) and man, do I FINALLY hear the difference! Definitely VERY clear!      No idea, it's a demo unit. You're very right, it...

Hey all, so I used the SE846 to briefly test 2 AK devices: AK120 II and AK240.... The song was Nirvana - Smells Like a Teen Spirit @ 24bit/96kHz I must say, I didn't hear too much of a dramatic improvement over my usual 320kbps MP3... I listen to a lot of heavy bass music, such as trance...

bump back this topic because I just bought a new iPod 5.5... going to mod it, and pair it up with an amp.. MAYBE E12. Deciding factor:  1) Modifiable 2) UI!!!! Read that the FiiO X series have terrible UI... and I'm an Apple fanboy, so yeah.   I have the Shure SE846 now, so I am excited to...

  Ahhh i see.... what other amps are recommended? I plan to mod my iPod because there is a modding service in Hong Kong (where I'm from) as well to hopefully pump out very good sounds to the SE846   Quote:   Thank you Black Label! Will continue to follow this thread!!!

Just got the SE846!!! So happy with the purchase.  Mirroring to what everyone said, the bass is deep yet clear, warm mids and punchy highs... I won't buy any other earphones anymore!   Question: Will the FiiO E12 headphone amp be good enough that pairs with my iPod 5.5 / iPhone 6? Or should...

Hello all I'm new and I decided to finally register an account. Been reading a lot about this thread, and I'm finally getting the SE846 tomorrow! Really excited! Since I'm not like a super audiophile in terms of getting the best portable players, amps etc, I do DJ so I do care about music /...
