With the Silver Dragon Cable, what are the differences between the terminations? I'm kind of confused.

My apologies for misquoting Tyll. But nevertheless, that's my impression of the IE800. Brittle/sharp/harsh highs were the ultimate dealbreakers FOR ME, YMMV.

so there are roll offs you suspect? Shure bound to release a ltd edition of SE846 with a different color just like what it did for SE215 & SE535.
So I might wait a better definitive version. I don't like the clear ones the cable will become rusty in the years to come.

Ehhh it up to you really .... but if you were to ask for my opinion I would say the roll off is not as bad as you think it is ... because generally bulk of most songs aren't in the high freq .... and its a roll off not a cut off so you still hear it but not as pronounced/forward.... but then again as a customer that will be paying so much i guess you have your expectations too ... haha so it depends if your ears love them ... haha to my ears the 846 is my favorite universals .... you might wanna consider the JH16s pro ... Price isn't too far off if you wait for promotions ... I got mine at only SGD1.4k+ its like about few hundreds more. I got both and i love them both

that's what i'm saying the first released of SE535 clear/bronze version has noticeable roll-offs! then Shure fixes it by releasing SE535 ltd edition which resolve the roll-off issues. I bet Shure will do the same with the current new flagship model:SE846. I'll keep both my fingers crossed! I don't wanna end up double dipping!

It actually took me while to figure out why Shure gave its new flagship 846 instead of 645, a continuous number after 535. Well that's because 846 alone sports out 3 different sound signatures. If you add 535 with 3 on the first digit 5, you'll get 835. However there are 4 drivers in total, so we get 845. But because 845 is one digit ahead of 535s, then you add one to the last digit 5, then you got 6. So there you have it. SE846 is born!

ehhh i think you got it a little wrong ... haha
8 represents its class/series and 4 driver and last but not least 5-6 due to the new added improvement of interchangeable filters.

the odds to which so happen it came with 3 instead 4 or 6 filters, and when you add 5 to it, it gives you 8.
you know what i mean.
