Is it normal to have to recenter every now and then? Sometimes when I'm moving my head a lot, or if I'm tilting my head for a period of time, the sound moves to the right and loses its original center position, and I need to press the button to center it again.

Yes it's set to manual 3d. Not sure if it's worth it to send it back since I can recenter. It occurs about 50% of the time. I was hoping it could've been fixed with a firmware but oh well. edit- @tidehunter1 I read your other post on this issue. You mean the sound will drift left/right...

Sometimes when I turn the headphones on the sound is to the right and I need to recenter to get the audio back to the middle. Anyone else have this issue?

How can I enable hi-res mode in foobar in Windows over BT connection? I can only play 16 bit 44.1hz. If I switch to 24bit it says it is unsupported.

If I'm connected to my PC using BT and I want to switch to BT connection on my phone, is there a quick way I can do this?

I read through the entire thread and this seems to be the right solution. But, do I still connect the mixamp optical and USB into the PS4? Or optical to PS4 and USB into a wall mount? In the video I'm not sure why the output is set to headset. Wouldn't the output be TV or Amp if I am using the...

I'm not sure about the amp only working with the native player comment. But in my experiences there is some link between the hardware and the native player. You can test this by doing the volume hack trick, and you'll find that none of the other players are affected by the mod.

No. Sounds the same to me.

Anyone got the disable sound enhancements trick to work anymore after 1.11 update? edit: Got it working again after turning on clearaudio+, surround sound, DSEE, then all off, and xloud and clearphase off and on again, then disable SE.

My SE846 and HD25-1 ii both have right angle connectors. Jack at the top or sides will work best for me. So, point is, there is no right/wrong.

That's what I want to find out, is how soundstage translates to measurements. It is impossible for two identical waves to enter your ears but have narrow vs wide soundstage. There has to be some differences.

I've been reading nwavguy's blog and I agree with his scientific approach to sound quality, and the impression is that the O2 amp/dac is "perfect" in the sense that it doesn't change anything from the original signal other than conversion to analog then amplify. But, how do things like...

I converted a FLAC file to 320k, set them up for ABX in foobar2000, couldn't tell a difference. I did the test about 20 times. Those where I got right, I was guessing. So to answer your quesiton - yes, it's worth it.

After reading this thread, I thought I'd give the large olives a try. But I still can't get a real good seal with them. If I can put the whole tip in without squishing it first, is it too small? FYI - I can easily insert my index finger into my ear and still have some wiggle room.

Do you adjust your memory wire every time you put it on?

I do the reverse. Loop in first, then rotate earpiece into the ear. Otherwise, I'd have to bend my ear in weird ways through the loop

Yeah the rotation is like 1mm, very very minor adjustments. The key is to aim it up, not straight in I've always used the silicons so I can't tell you the difference. I don't like using foams.

I tried the UE18 universal version briefly, and IMHO it doesn't compare. SE846 adds a layer of depth to everything, whereas UE18 is nice, but it's just the same sound that you're used to. There wasn't anything special, and it sounded like JH16. But if you like neutral sound, not sure if 846 is...

Actually I had troubles getting a good fit with the SE535s. I had to put the earphone really deep to get a good seal. The 846 however, sit in my ear perfectly. It takes me less than 5 seconds. Here's how I do it: 1) Grab the earphone by its housing 2) Insert silicon tip, and aim for the top of...

I think you've got a good seal. Your voice will be very loud even if you are whispering

For me a good fit is when I can hear my own footsteps, and when it's quiet my heart beating. So far the best tip for me is the Shure silicons. I use the large myself, and when it goes in it seals perfectly around the canal, no adjusting or messing around. It also doesn't go too deep, which is...

Actually thank YOU. I was about to get the Parterres but after reading your posts I held off the purchase until I got a chance to demo the 846 myself (with all filters) and I'm glad I did. The 846 is in a league of its own.

Depends on your fit I use the large silicons and I cant hear any outside noises, even on the subway They do fit differently than the other SE models though

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAGIPb0Nqhs A nice short track to demo the bass of the SE846s. I have played this many times using different headphones, but nothing like this. Hot damn.

...like Shure's silicon tips. However even the L size I feel are not big enough. Any other alternatives? I tried Star Tips, but they're not mushroom shaped. I find the mushroom style conform to my ear canal the best.
