You should definitively try these out before going for the K3003 or the se846. In my opinion there is no comparison in sound. Listening to Jazz, Electronic and classical live concerts and well as studiorecordings min 944 FLAC on my cambridge DAC or on Samsung Edge Mobile, these earpieces are as shockingly beatiful in sound as advertized. Listening at low sound is as great as going a bit higher.
The craftmanship is not even close to the the SHURE build but then also arent the AKGs (cheap end cablepieces). In therms of treble precision and clarity as well as differentiation of all levels way beyond the 846, more like the HD800 but then, at 8Grams per Ear! If I had to put them on my ears daily for hours, I would probably prefer the 846 just for the exceptional build quality (however I cannot understand how anyone can stant the blurred treble quality coming from the Shure if compared to the Sennheiser).. but then for listening 3 times a week for 2 hours the best of my music even when I am not sitting in my stereo room but on the run ... the i.e. are unbeatable.
Tried final audio designs, audio heaven, grados, audioflys, Ultrasone IQs, 846, k3003, ... nothing compared to the ease and punch of Bass and low bass combined with the precision and clarity of these treble while delivering perfect mids ....superfast earpieces.
The Sennheiser is worth every cent.... Now, if it was build more professional (exchangeable cable and tips) I would give it 5 stars. It's not a workhorse (SHURE) but more like a black pearl Arabian
