    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    As I've mentioned, I've had terrible experiences with 846s in the past - exactly the same as you describe here " The MMCX cable also became nearly impossible to remove without tearing the whole lot to pieces" - happened to me on my original 846s and the replacement pair. But I've gambled and...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Finally back with 846s after black friday discount. First impressions, they went cheap on the box. I still have the box from 2015 and it came with the nice plastic case inside. It also closed properly. New one has no plastic case and doesn't close - like the photo above. Having said that...

    After all this, I'll probably end up sticking with the Comets. Using the cobalt with them and they dont sound bad.

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    We'd been exchanging mails for a couple of months and it had never come up, and it hadn't crossed me mind. Thanks but yeah, can't justify to myself paying more for the same earphones now than I did in 2015, their pricing seems crazy.

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Misunderstanding with Shure, they won't give me the discounted price on a new set unless I return my old damaged ones, but I threw them away months ago without thinking I'd need them. Cables were destroyed and still attached so I had no use for them. It would be £829 for the new 846s here...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Initially because I no longer trust Shure cables. And so that I have an extra for emergencies as I travel a lot. If only for that reason, £90 seems a bit much. The Linum G2 BaX cable I had (which is about about £100), in my mind anyway, made my 846s sound miles better than they ever had...

    Thanks I was looking at one they have for about £30 Is this one a good enough upgrade from the Shure cables to be worth £90?

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Good info thanks. Based on that, as nice as it would be to try the Solaris. gonna get 846s again. Does anyone know how many cables the 846 BT2 package comes with? I'm not interested in Bluetooth really, but I hope it still comes with 2 standard cables? And does anyone have any non-shure...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    I am leaning towards new 846s as I know what I'm gonna get. I could spend twice as much on the Solaris but my instinct tells me it won't be worth it and it's too risky, moving from a "shure" thing LOL On the cable queries, 100% defective, proven by the fact that when returned to Shure they...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    I replaced cables on the replacement pair and the same thing happened. Going back on my statement about not being interested in campfire. Looking at the Atlas, Solaris and Andromeda. Don't really care on the price, just want the best ones.

    Bad experience with Shure 846 build quality... looking for alternatives

    I had 846s for a couple of years but I have constant problems with them. I had them replaced once through warranty, but the same thing happened again once warranty was over. The cables become jammed into the earphones and can't be removed without destroying them. I also got regular distortion in...
