Hello all, I just joined and am looking for recommendations for a DAP to pair with my Shure SE846 IEMs. My budget is right around $750 USD (used or new is OK), and I'd prefer the DAP to be Android-based as I plan to access music streaming services; access to the Google play store would be a huge...

Hello all! My trusty Shure SE846 have finally decided that enough is enough after 7 years of fantastic service, being left in the rain overnight, and even one spin through the washer and dryer (About three years ago! They didn't even break a sweat ;P). I think what happened is the midrange...

hi everyone, i am about to get a dragonfly red this xmas. choosing this dac because of its portability. i just came across a video where a user suggested to use ifi ear buddy to maximize audio quality(bits). because phone volume control reduces audio quality if its not turned up to 100%. so i am...

Hi Folks, I’m wondering if anyone here has compared the stock cable on the Shure SE846 to any balanced cables. And what your impressions were of the sound comparison? Is it worth getting a balanced cable for this IEM? I am running through an Astell & Kern SP1000, Cheers Ollie

Hello guys, Firstly, I am not an expert or an "audiophile". coming from Advanced Sound's GT3 Superbass as my daily driver IEMs, I recently purchased Shure's SE846, and I am pleased with how they sound. I use a Motorola Z2 smartphone for basically everything I listen to. When I plug into the...

As title suggests, wondering if anyone owns both pairs and can comment on how they compare. Lear Audio's BD4.2 (Custom) and Shure's SE846 (Universal) Pricepoints are similar and they both have got their special thing going for the bass. Shure's got their 'true subwoofer' driver and the BD4.2...

I have an out of warranty pair of the Shure SE846. The pin inside the MMCX connector on the left in ear monitor broke off when attaching or detaching a cable... Shure, as you know has a flat rate of 295 to replace it by sending it in...but they will keep my perfectly functional (not functional)...

I wanted to purchase the Shure SE846 since the time it was launched. I was on Shure E3C (a really old, but really good pair). Last year, I finally purchased the SE846. I was somehow underwhelmed by the sound on the SE846. They're good, but not great. Maybe it's because the source is iPhone and...

My current setup is that I use the Radsone Earstudio ES100 with my Shure SE846 and a Balanced 2.5mm cable. I like this setup but sometimes do get annoyed by being tied to a cable and small device (ES100). Would it be a major downgrade to get the RMCE-BT2's? It seems that there is no built in...

Disappeared from the Shure web shop (says "Contact us") and marked as discontinued on a few other websites as well. Are we expecting a replacement (SE847?) or do I need to pick up a pair quickly?

If you have been able to listen (even owned?) to both IEMs, please leave your impressions about these two beasts.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if people with some SE846's at hand could help me out with a very simple thing. I bought a pair of Shure SE846 Clear on eBay, and when I got them one didn't work as it was missing the small pin inside the connector. The seller promptly sent me one IEM back, when I...

Title. I own a pair of the SE846s and use them directly on the S8+. However, I'm not sure if getting a proper DAP like the X7 II will be better, sound quality wise talking. On my PC, I own the FiiO E10K and I'm a TIDAL subscriber. My questions are: 1. The difference between S8+ Exynos vs X7 II...

I have a Pioneer XDP-300R media player that mentions that the minimum impedance supported at its balanced port is 32 ohm. That is pretty much typical of balanced output of many devices. Here is the question... I look at the Shure SE846 earphone (which is well revered) and its impedance is 8...

So this is a part rant and part cry for help. One of my earpiece was jammed with the connector wire and when I disconnected it, the pin in MMCX on the earpiece broke off and got stuck to the wire. For comparison I think this is not a serious damage and when I asked Shure Asia to help me get...

Hello fellow sound enthusiasts. I recently stepped on my SE425 and I'm considering an upgrade. I'm now rocking a terrible low-end set that I want to take off the second I put them on.I loved my SE425's and everything I read about the SE846 is pure praise. My issue is that these IEM's came out...

Hey guys, Can anyone recommend a good warm IEM? I have a max budget of $1000. It must be warm and versatile to any music. So far i have auditioned Weston W60, but still looking for more ideas. Thanks in advance!

Hello, First or second time posting. My current set up is iphone 6s & google pixel with dragonfly red, Shure Se846 switched out with the ATH- LS400 or ibasso IT03. I am wondering if getting Fiio x5 3rd gen is upgrade to the dragonfly red/ phone combo. I only use Hifi Masters Tidal...
