Who is getting (or auditioning) the 846 and has the FitEar Parterre as well?
I have the se846 and i've audition the FitEar Parterre too. IMO I feel the se846 sounds better that being said you got to try them to know what you like. Cos it really boils down to personal preference.
The se846 is clearly superior to the srh1840 in all facets of sound besides sense of air and space. I find it much more realistic in terms of tone and texture compared to the open back Shures.
Honestly, the SE846 is a notch above the IE800's in terms of sound and what you get as a total package, and a better buy than my beloved akg k3003's (have to admit it).
Thanks for the response. I'm not sure if it makes sense though because the Shure SRH 1840 is completely flat and thus should be more realistic.
I think I might order the SE846, but there is a long waiting list (months of waiting) at the places I visited

Hmmm, in the IE800 thread one user returned the 846 to keep IE800. Anyway, I'm very interested to know why you find it better than IE800 and K3003. (and probably many others here would like to know also).
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure how the user (ken I believe) preferred the IE800 to the SE846, but his tastes are obviously very different than mine. I was somewhat disappointed by the IE800's and wouldn't put it in the same class. The highs are hollow and unpleasant to me.
Agreed. I was rather disappointed as well.

I still think IE800 isn't as bad we experienced it to be but the key issue is I suspect the one who were disappointed like us is not getting the intended fit and thus sound of it. I still refuse to believe Sennheiser will get so wrong in the tuning/voicing of it flagship. Wonder if they would take a page out of Westone and introduce a IE800R version with replaceable cable connector and different tips....
