    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    I too love the Spinfits! With an upgraded cable I can sleep with the 8's in. Great because this household with its four St. Bernards and mothering Staffie start singing for their breakfast early!

    Limu Shirin: Only the black filter would yield a dark sound (to which my hearing is biased I must admit). As for "congested," you have a slight point. But this is negated and opened up markedly with an ALO or Ted Allan / HeadphoneLounge cable.

    Free ear impressions will be done at Jaben Audio Melbourne tomorrow night! As well as drinking BrewDog Chili Hammer, life couldn't be any sweeter at this end right now.

    Astell & Kern AK Jr, 70 or even 300 - yes or no? I'm auditioning the Jr and finding vocals, some instruments sound a little digital and echoey. I've also auditioned the Chord Mojo, perhaps the most worthy addition to any rig, but bloody nora its portability (or lack thereof) is a dealbreaker.

    Pleasure, Chief Stringer :) As I wasn't sure what sort of electronic music you''re in to (I assumed not EDM as you would've said haha) I only guessed. What a coincidence. :p The bass when listening to My New Leng is chuffing massive! Have a listen to FabricLive 80 (I think?) mixed by Monki and...

    iPhone 7 Will Revolutionize Portable Audio for the First Time in a Decade

    I already have an iPhone 6S Plus (64GB) and could really do with the extra storage capacity. :)

    ^ Hi Chief Stringer, I personally can't compare the 8's to the Sennheiser HD25s, however my journey thus far has taken in stops at the Sennheiser IE8 and IE800. So I think I'm at least halfway qualified to assist, being well versed in the Sennheiser sound. You're looking at balanced armatures...

    I find the Shures do lose a bit at lower volumes, but perhaps going from a copper to silver litz might negate it ?

    High end (IEM) cable thread: impressions, pics, comparisons and reviews.

    Okay, heard back from someone else at HeadphoneLounge. It most certainly is one of theirs, aftter all that! It'/s a type 1 occ copper.

    HeadphoneLounge replied, this ain't one of their cables. Dang it. Edit: LOL the confusion didn't end there. It is a Ted Allan / HeadphoneLounge cable after all! Type 1 copper litz. Whoever replied to me originally musn't have known it was an older one. Winning!!

    High end (IEM) cable thread: impressions, pics, comparisons and reviews.

    Edit: HeadphoneLounge has just replied to me stating this isn't one of their cables. Hi all, My brother bought this cable (pictured) for his W90s secondhand, says it's a HeadphoneLounge occ (silver?) litz type 2. He passed it on to me for use with my Shure SE846s as it veiled the sound of his...

    ^ I use the volume restrictor when playing music through my iDevices. I must say fatigue is less of an issue with this new cable. (The Y-splitter may have chequers by the way, it's really hard to tell with my vision impairment).

    iPhone 7 Will Revolutionize Portable Audio for the First Time in a Decade

    ^ Yah, the only reason for an upgrade (sans incramental improvements in the camera) is a capacity boost, but I''m also weighing up the options of an AK70 or an iPad with 256MB capacity. So long as there':s no decrease in SQ. I need to take the iPhone 7's camera for a test drive before...

    iPhone 7 Will Revolutionize Portable Audio for the First Time in a Decade

    Hi everyone, I''m new to the thread and thought I'd "chip" in (sorry couldn't resist) as I'm a fellow SE846 and iPhone owner. So, am I to understand (given what's been said on the previous page) 'the iPhone 7 dongle improves the 8's sound. I would have thought it would be the polar opposite. A...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Ooooh, have I entered cable talk? Can someone please identify what cable this is? My brother generously gave it to me as it didn't deliver what he was expecting with his Westones. I couldn't get a straight answer out of my brother regarding the manufacturer nor the person / company from he...
