Certainly can't see any "cracks" in the photos. When enlarged they are too soft to see anything. Somehow I don't think these are actual cracks but then again the photos don't show well. I've seen numerous instances where people think the 846's have something wrong but it's just the reality of...

Thanks moedawg. I always found your posts on the SE846 very helpful and informative

  Yes, Not especially happy about it. I definitely feel they are worth the price -

Reluctantly selling my SE846's   These have been by far the best iem's I've ever owned. I'm only getting rid of them because I don't listen as much on a portable basis and decided to go with full size bluetooth cans for around the house. Just can't justify keeping these for occasional use. New...

The Plantronics sound very good. Granted that currently Bluetooth sets do not match up to corded but they are excellent. The comment about build quality is way off base. The build quality of the BB Pro is every bit as good as a similarly priced cabled set, if not better. Not really fair to make...

I just bought the backbeat pro and they are great. Excellent value, The controls are excellent. They are big but very comfortable, Honestly any around ear phones are going to be close in size but they don't fold so that may be a factor. I also have the Bose Soundlink II around ears, which I find...

Mine are identical - not a defect or stressed - I'm sure it is adhesive/epoxy that is used to anchor the connector to the shell. since this is a manual process, some may have more or less but if you hunt for photos, all of the actual photos, (not promo shots) have some degree of this cloudiness...

My 2 cents: Don't think it's a new top of the line - It may have some kind of tuning adjustment - any ideas as to what is that fuzzy looking little black thing just above silver disk around  the Shure logo on both pieces? Could these have NC or BT? Cable definitely looks pretty substantial.

Thanks - I'll have another look since these blues are a replacement set I just got from Shure. - first time I've heard of 2 pieces of foam. Long story too but this is my second Blue mod. The first one I accidentally removed both the foam and the fabric at the larger end so those are now just a...

How big is the foam insert in the nozzles?   Sorry guys but I tried searching and gave up. I got around to modding the blue filters - the foam I removed is very short in length. 1/8" or so? Is there any more foam further down the nozzle ( I know there is a filter at the other end - I'm just...

shure will sell them to you directly - call or email them and they will give you a price

My 2 cents worth - ok, my $1K (Canadian) worth . From my perspective they are worth it and from what I can gather through research, they are a bit of a bargain, strange as that sounds. - Compared to some of the high end customs, they hold up well to iem's selling for 50% more and they can be re...

This has been discussed before - Spook76 indicated just a couple pages ago that the modified blues and modified blacks sound similar

No! Same mistake I made It is attached and can't be put back easily if we're talking about the same things

E I found them at a few other places but with shipping etc. the savings was negligible

Can you let me know where else you found them? Thanks

good response, Thanks

Hey spook, just so I don't have to search all the posts, since you've modded them all, whats your fav?

Just an up date and clarification - the price I finally got from SHURE Canada for just 1 pair of blues was $40 - Makes me wonder why the price is more than double the U.S. SHURE price when the other items sold on the 2 sites are just the U.S. $ differential (20% give or take).    As far as the...

I agree with you 100%. It's not like they ONLY make them as REPLACEMENTS. They have to produce them in relatively large numbers to ship with the headphones anyway. - $1000 for the iem's vs $140 for three tiny pieces of plastic is nuts and you're also right that the foam insert will definitely...

Shure Canada price is $140 CA for the set of 3 nozzle inserts/filters - incredible! they're checking the price for just the blues. Makes one less inclined to play around with them 

That's what I heard as well. Just saying they have to sell them. I can see them being expensive as they wouldn't be inclined to make a who!e bunch of extras for dummies like me who break or lose them

Thanks already sent them an email first thing this morning. They obviously have to make them available somehow. You can't sell $1k headphones with tiny little losable parts and not be able to provide replacements.

Defintely. When I got home I took a good look under magnification. At the end that fits into the unit, there is a screen type filter of some kind of material,. When I compared my accidentally modded blues with the sound with no filter inserted at all, they sounded pretty similar. Not identical...

Actually after doing a bit more research, it appears there is an additional filter in the bottom so I may have indeed damaged it.
