Just got mine 45 mins ago. The hell with burn in, I am enjoying them now. I will post impressions later but I do see an immediate improvement over the 535 ltd phones I had.
Hey VZ since they have great bass how do they compare to your 335?I am a big believer in Shure, as a proud owner of the 1840, but honestly I do also have the 535 and 535 LTD and didn't really get wowed by either of them... I must say with the 846 all my inhibitions about the last IEMs are gone... They sound like legit TOTL IEMs. The bass extension is just insane while it doesn't bleed into the mids or highs at all. I need more time with them but looking forward to it.
As my Protector is the only audiofile grade amp I current have (my Fiio E12 is certainly not) have you tried the single output from the Protector or is the warm signature of the RSA sound still prevalent?
I've never used IEMs with this Shure removable cable connector before. Is it best to unplug the connectors every time to store in case for transport? Or will that cause the Shure connectors to wear out faster, making it better to leave the cable connected to the IEM even when packing for transport, and no need to unplug the cable each time... or ever, unless there's a real reason disconnect it?
Or the connectors last forever anyway, so it doesn't matter?
Thanks.

Two times better? Probably not. The 535 LTD with the upgraded cables are pretty magical and represent a good value imho. That being said, I would buy the 846s again because they are significantly better to my ears. I am curious what you think when you get yours in. Also, let me know if you try your custom cable on the 846s. Good luck tomorrow. I know it is going to be a long day for you
More bass than 335DW?! That is a lot of bass...the 846 definitely have more bass quantity. The 335's bass is more controlled.
