    Philadelphia area meet, Sunday Jan 31st (no football that weekend!)

    Hey guys im thinking of coming - its kinda far tho. I think the last time I came was 2 years ago with my female friend? Since then ive been through many headphones, think Ive seen a few of you around at meets in silverspring/DC area but this meet was the first ive ever attended.    I currently...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Hey guys. I returned my Teac DAC. I decided it was not portable enough for my tastes. It sounded great but it was kinda big. Not to mention it kept charging my android phone which would shorten the battery life to about 30 minutes which was just terrible.   Not sure what to do next in regards...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Hey guys. I ordered a Teac ha-p50 off amazon. They had one b stock for cheap and I bought it. First off I can say it works wonders with the 846 and Spotify. First thing I noticed was a improved sound stage over my conputers sound card or phone. Very happy. It also charges my phone while I use...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Are your ear canals shaped differently? I know mine are so I noticed a difference in the fit of the Olives which I think can also effect the way I perceive the sound.  Ive been thinking of getting the SCS because of this.

    Westone UM3X Thread

    If you mean the UM3x vs UM3x RC... Then I can confirm there are no differences or really huge benefits from the RC over the older one other than the removable cable. Which is nice because the cable on my non RC UM3x started to wear down and break at the ear piece.   If they are new though you...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Hey Someguydude,   I just read through your posts about this issue. What you are describing sounds exactly like I was noticing with my left IEM being quieter than the other one. All the pictures and speculation aside, what you are describe (slightly quieter, difference is bass) is what lead me...

    Amen.   I think the biggest bass awakening for me was when I went from car subwoofers to PA subwoofers. With most generic car audio the bass is loud and there, but on my PA stuff it was so much tighter and like you could feel it in your chest

    Its funny. I am a bass head. Coming from the UM3x I used to use the black filters on the Se846. After about 2 weeks I evolved to the white filters. Which are supposed to be the lease bass right? I actually found the bass sounds even better with the whites, aswell as everything else.

    Sucks they sent you a used pair. If you complain to amazon they would probably next day the new ones to you because they messed up. Amazon wouldnt be likely to shrug off a customer whos spending upwards of 1k.

    Westone UM3X Thread

    The um3x are an older model which is probably why they are on sale. I personally prefer the UM3x sound over the UM20s... but the UM20s are probably a little more durable.   If it were me Id get the UM3x. I do live sound (pa systems and stuff) so I think youd like them for drumming, but also...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Double post - sorry again but here we go.   I just got my new left IEM back from Shure. Its fine. Sounds good.   Things to note. The wiring is different from the one I had, this new one being consistent with my right IEM and every other IEM in pictures ive seen. There is no solder bridge...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    I used tidal for about a month on a free trial. I used it with my PA system. I had it setup so a digital line from my PC went to my soundboard and the soundboard acted as a DAC. It was then a fully balanced system to my powered speakers.   I was able to notice a difference between tidal and...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    This was where my initial issue came up with my first set of Shure IEMs. Whats nice is Shure will actually send you a cleaning kit for the connectors, if you ask, that works very well. You might have to do this every 6 months to a year. Its really not that terrible.

    I can dig that. I see what you mean. The warranty was pretty good but I was annoyed that the first time it took them two weeks to get them back to me :( This time around seems much better tho.

    1. Sometimes people pay a premium price for an item for quality. Of most headphones $500 is a lot yet alone $1000. Of course there are more expensive ones. But the average consumer would not pay that much. What are our reasons for buying the se846? Most people would say things like sound...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Inconsistencies are inconsistencies. Especially when it effects the sound. And for $1000 dollar headphones that's unacceptable. I wouldn't have found the solder or even the wire if the left side functioned correctly. Long time shure customer. Owning several of their microphones I've never...

    Just got off the phone with shure. Doing a 1 day exchange on the left earphone. They supplied the shipping label and such. Which is nice.   Talked to Anthony.    :)

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Sorry for so many responses at once guys.   I am also noticing that my Left IEM is wired differently. Most particularly one of the red wires from the drivers going directly too the base of one of the resistors and not a pad. There appears to be a pad un-used.   For comparison look at some of...

    Here are some images of crossovers I have found.             Here are my old ones. The best photos I could find of the bottom:         its hard to tell in the bottom one if it were bridge. I highly suspect it was not. That was also my right side where my left side is the...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    All your responses are interesting. Here is what I can say about the difference in my IEMs...   My first two (Left and right) that came out of the box, neither had the soldering bridge. I remember explicitly they did not because I remember looking at the crossover when I first got them and...

    I knew I was not crazy. Spot the difference between the two IEMs         In case you cant see it...       Notice how on one of those Resistors (?) the solder has bridged to the other small black chip on the board.   I knew I could hear something wrong with it. I thought I was...

    Yeah I get that, I dont really blame shure for this but It just really sucks because I just went 2 weeks without my IEMs and now I have this.   My first set out of the box was fine, loved them. I really hope they get back to me and offer a solution.

    I'm back with another issue. Ive been listening to my 846 for some time now I was swearing to myself that the sound in the left channel was different.   So I went here: http://plasticity.szynalski.com/tone-generator.htm   I moved through some tones and noticed a high pitched ring associated...

    Ill call verizon again. Maybe I can get a new one out of them. But as I understood this was a software defect that all the phones had. I tired another G3 at the store and it did the same thing.   A new one would be nice anyway. We shall see :P
