Hi guys, I've recently decided to leave the CIEM family, and go back to my old UIEM roots, just couldn't handle 1. the inconvenience of CIEMs (can't really use it in some situations) 2. the anxiety of dropping them and messing them up and having them shatter on me. So, I've put them up for sale...

I heard on the SE846 announcement thread someone was wearing different IEMs in their nose and ears and was putting their 846s in their nose. I've never heard of this.   1. Is this common practice? I'm going to try it as soon as my 846s come in. 2. What sleeves are people using to do this? 3...

i have the shure 535 and 846 and i have used just about every tip out there including comply and shure tips as well as etymotic gliders and while they all served me well and comply has been my go to tip for years these new star foam tips have really made an incredible difference for me in terms...

      August 17, 2013 UPDATE: Click here to read my follow-up impressions of the Shure SE846.     In just a little while, Shure is going to announce a new flagship in-ear monitor called the Shure SE846. The Shure aficionados among us--myself included--have been wondering when we'd see a...

I came across the SE846 when I read it won a bunch of CES awards, looking around for some reviews they all seem pretty rave. Was just wondering if anyone has heard both the Shure SE846 and the Sennheiser HD800. They're both pretty much the same price, at least in the UK. £949 vs £999.99.   ...

I currently have the SE846 in my possession and recently have began wondering whether the IE800s might be a better fit for me. I listen mostly to soft-rock, pop, rap, hip-hop and J-pop.    I've heard that the IE800s have a soundstage that blows all other IEMs out of the water, but does it...

Hi, I have Shure 535 now but have stated licking my chops looking at the new 846's.  Is it too early to compare and contrast the JH16/13 vs the 846's?  If not, what are your thoughts on sound quality, comfort, etc?  What are the major differences? 

Hello,   I am looking at cables for my SE846. I don't want anything too expensive at the moment, and have narrowed my results to these:   Silver-plated 4N OCC Copper cable, $44.00    Silver-plated 8N OCC Copper cable, $89.00   Suggestions or opinions about these two?   Thanks.

Hi,         If I pair the Iem Shure SE846 and AK120 together with the RSA Shadow stand alone, to what extend will it improve my audio quality? Any suggestions?

What do you say?

I've been using Spotify after Beats Music disbanded Mog.  I've been satisfied... until I upgraded to a balanced CypherLabs Algorythm Solo -db / Duet combination with the Shure SE846.  I like the setup, but I definitely hear minor distortion on low frequencies in my left ear with Spotify High...

Hello,   I recently purchased a pair of Shure SE846s.  The earphones seem nice but I do not feel I am getting enough out of them.  I am hoping that a set of custom earpieces will make the difference.  I would love some feedback and I would also live some recommendations on who to go to to have...

hey guys .. im having around 1000 bucks to burn. so im kind of curious about how these IEM's sport each other. since they both are quad driver IEm's. I saw what earphone solution has made a comparison of w4r's and SE846 , but im not very convinced by that.. its not the type of comparison I...

Ok so I am looking for some new IEM's. I have looked at various posts on here and I'm more confused than ever! Originally I was going to go for ACS T1's, but after reading some reviews on here my horizons have been widened! Audio source is just direct out of iPhone / iPad, no amps or anything...

So I was listening to music from my iPhone and all of a sudden no sound comes out from left monitor . I change source same issues .   Anything I can do before sending it back ?   I live in India and sending it back to US will be very very expensive for me

Hello to everyone,   I'm new to the forum and don't have any real knowledge regarding DAC equipment (at the moment) but I'm clearly looking for some expert guidance. I recently purchased a pair of Shure SE 846 IEM and they are connected to an old iPhone 4S. Recently I've taken some of my CD's...

Hi all,   I think this is the right place to post this question. I have an AK240 and I have a pair of SE846's.   I would like to use a balanced cable but have some reservations and questions.   Several custom cable manufacturers are now offering 2.5mm TRRS jack termination for AK240...

There's been a lot of posts saying that the Shure SE846 is better than the Sennheiser IE800, but there have also been a lot of posts saying the opposite.  But, with the two IEMs costing around the price range of custom in-ears, and the Shure SE846 costing a few tens of dollars more, which one...

Anyone tried this before? Stumble onto this brands while googling on Oyaide cables, dunno why the cable is featured in their website.

Hey all, been doing a lot of searching over the last couple days, and just cant seem to find what I'm looking for.  Here's what I'm working with:   I have a laptop and my PS3 at my desk.  I want to use USB out to the DAC from my laptop, and optical from my PS3.  Connecting to it I will be...
