I've got about 12 hours of solid play on 2.1.8. I am noticing a slight difference sound wise from 2.1.5. listening to from high res Warren Zevon to Bach to 2014 Pop Chart Toppers. It seems to have lost some of its rawer edge of the last. I'm not displeased by the change, mind. Its, more...

DX90 Firmare Version V2.1.8 Improvements with this firmware: 1. 10 bands EQ <------who uses EQ?  2. Improved media scan ability.<-----improvement noticeable.  3, Quicker startup speed. <-----seems faster. Can't wait for Lurker0 to tweak the awful OEM font :) So far so good ibasso!

Wow, I'm not sure, I want to admit what the problem actually was.....   I've been wearing Shure's for years, I always used a medium olive. The medium olives were always extended wear comfortable. I tried small olives in the past but they seemed to small. I tried a new small pair of tips, dug...

My pair of 846's are current monsters is seems. The 8's only blow me away so far when amped. I liked the E12 better than the internal X5 amp as well. I'll look at the M and look for some info on that Fiio X7 people are talking about. Seems so far thats two nays, on DX90 > 846's    

Thanks, I'll have to look into ordering different tips. I've tried Shure triple flanges, and my usual medium olives and even tried a large olive. Its just so weird, the DX90 seems so underpowered, the 846 has no authority unamped.  

Can any fellow DX90 > 846 owners give me some relationship advice.  This source, while supposedly awesome, just sounds harsh and has almost painful edge at times. I've given it a continuous 400 hours of burn in. I've updated the Firmware to the latest most "headfi accepted version". We've...

One of my favorite things about the Shure IEMs is how much like hearing aids they look. I travel extensively, often in less than safe areas. I've never had anyone think my stacks or headphones are expensive, if anything people think if its not Beats and iphone its not expensive. Most people have...

@jelt2359 I wholeheartedly agree with you. I think at this range each model has its own beautiful characteristics. The gen 2, JDS Labs C5 series, matches to My ear with the 846 with perfect synergy. My gen 1 C5 amp I had mentioned I was getting modded to the gen 1 specs. Instead I purchased...

@ tonifyd I work out with my 846's regularly and have had no issues.  @Dragonsan I personally don't feel the IE800 offers quite the definition nor the sub bass of the 846. The Sub bass on the 846 is surreal. @proedros  I'm not sure by what metric the AKG3003 obliterates the 846, but not in...

I've yet to find something unamped that I like the 846's with myself. I'll try Viper4Android and see if that helps any. Thanks! Its good to know about the DX90 and 802 I was looking into both of them for a single unit solution. 

I'm driving my 846's from a JDS C5 1st gen and C5D, I owned quite number of amps before settling with the JDS models. Mine are blacker than the darkest black mascara I have. But I also run my JDS products from ipods and my laptop not an Iphone. I don't like the 846's with any of the 6 android...

Amazon Warehouse Deals has fluctuating prices but they go as low as $739 for an open box.   I called corporate relations at Amazon and they handled it appropriately, in a manner everyone was happy with. I've held an account there since the late 90's so I guess I have that "valued...

I received my replacement pair of 846's this morning. Funny thing, I thought the broken pair were fantastic but the replacement pair is even more surprising. My only complaint so far, is they make me laugh in astonishment frequently, and twice today I fell asleep from being so relaxed wearing...

It won't charge any laptop or ultrabook that I know of.  The wall charger is a tad bulky, but for my uses, I'd only need to take it if I was using my travel one for more than 12 days. I own two of the 20,000Mah models, one to power my portable router and micro server and the other for mobile...

Is that odd? Seems a celebration was in order for obtaining such a fine addition to my long running collection of audio enthusiasm.  :D Plus I feel like my journey is complete with the 846 for awhile, I reached the sound I was looking for for all these years in a IEM. May as well mark it...

I just bought a Baby-G shock as a present to myself for buying the 846's, I wish the Baby G's had cool features like yours :P

Awww that makes me really sad, the travel case is like one of the best parts :/ I'm sorry.

Yes seriously.... EAHRDCASE-CLEAR Road Case Durable crush- and water-resistant road case features earphone polishing cloth. Included with SE846 earphones for their storage and transportation...

Its used for polishing/cleaning the IEM housing and nozzles. And also to protect the IEM's in their rubber home from making contact with the hard case.

http://onlinetonegenerator.com/subwoofer.html     is the subwoofer test. Just click the play file. http://onlinetonegenerator.com/ is what I used to test and diagnosis my 846's you should hear a matched level and identical tone from from top to bottom. Listening to my left IEM with the...

With increased complication comes increased rates of failure. I'm a bit sad. But I bought 215's for simplicity and 846's for intricate complexity. If you ever get a chance run a subwoofer test on your 846's it truly sounds like a helicopter overhead from like 31-17Hz. Quite marvelous...

Welp, seems I got a bad pair :/ My left channel (IEM) is messed up and buzzing from 900Hz all the way down.  I swapped cables and filters and torqued everything. I guess they have to go back. Talk about anticlimactic.  :'(

I'd be lying if I didn't say, I only bought them for that cool pelican ripoff case and the Shure Branded cleaning cloth... I read that article myself, and after pulling them out of the box, I exclaimed, Oh my how pretty! Such a beautiful product and so beautifully presented.  I only...

  Quote: Yeaaa I mean, for a ten dollar pair and all they are just like okay I guess, I think the ones that came free with my first walkman were better....haha o.O
