  Hey,
mojo + se846 + iphone 6 could be a good combination for the road? + for home using?

I think it could well be, I have not tried the SE846 for long enough to comment, but to all intent and purposes they have been lauded by many as being very good.
The mojo I do know off and the iPhone 6 is also meant to be a decent device.
Go for it I say

Thank you :)


Why the SE846 out of interest? What does it bring to the party specifically? I'm sorry I've not heard it but clear;y there is an awful; lot of choice out there in that price bracket, including some Custom IEMs and some Hybrid IEMSs
No qualms about the Mojo as a choice of course

i am kinda new on the audiophile stuffs and used to have the IE800 but didnt like them at all.
they are so much NOT comfortable and only thing i really liked on them was the soundstage and the clarity.
on the other side, i tried the SE846 few times for few hours and i was amazed by the powerful and by the sound they made.
mids and basses driving me crazy.
plus i have a chance to grab the SE846 for a good price so why not?
what else would you recommend me for mojo,iphone 6 combo? (earphones)
thanks.

Mojo and I enjoying the spoils

won $200 in video poker and left the casino before I got the itch to spend any of it


I thought that was some kind of UBER tube amp you had the mojo plugged into at first....

You will always get a differing of opinions when that question is asked, I'm sure had you not mentioned it some may have suggested the IE800's

I would say the SE846 are a fine choice, although I am not talking from personal experience. You may get a deluge of suggestions so I would say grab the SE846 and if you don't like them you can always sell them on probably at no loss if you get them for a good price yourself in the first place.

I will stick with the se846 actually at the moment.

This is my exact portable rig and it works great. I got a small pelican case that fits the mojo, SE846 and cable including CCK. It works and sounds great. I don't use IEMs though for home listening so my home rig is very different.

 
Nice.
Can you explain the improves of the se846 with the mojo?
thanks!

I have the Mojo with the Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd gen).  
 
The 2nd gen appealed to me specifically for the detachable cord.  These were outside my budget and I wanted to make sure they outlived me. 
 
From there, I have gone through various DACs (trying the 'next model up' repeatedly) and Amps, including the very well made and pleasing sound of the Beyerdynamic A20 amp.  
 
The Mojo displaced all.
 
Everything was sold; desk top and portable.  
 
Most all of my music time is at home, as I work at home 80% plus, of my time.  I have little need for IEMs so I have not spent much money.  I have my wife's Bose (mine broke) and then I purchased the Fiio EX1 which are surprisingly well made with good sound stage, but as others have found, the Mojo is somewhat tyrannical and demands good listening.
 
A fumbled with a few and ended up with the Shure 535 on a terrific deal.  This is great for treadmill and hiking as it is "enough"; I don't want to hear better ones!  
 
Mojo is with me on the treadmill and lifting, and on hikes.  I just needed something good enough for the short time. 
 
The connection to iPhone is not great, so I look forward to the module to make things more complete.   I recognize others use IEMs for a majority of their listening.  Had this been me, with the Mojo, I would seek the best I could afford, as I did with the T1s.  It was going to be Beyerdynamic T1 or Sennheiser 800, or something that is an 'end game' purchase.  Mojo is demanding.  
 
The 846 do sound like a good choice...I just don't dare demo it!

Over time, If you like the SE846 but find you want an upgrade on that type of sound, the Noble K10 is a clear upgrade path.  It offers 90% of the bass, clearer and more transparent mids while retaining the same directional sound and finally has far less roll-off in the treble.  If Shure were to have built the SE1046, I bet it would sound a lot like the Noble K10.
 
Today my portable arsenal is KSE1500 and Noble K10.  I do have the  Mojo and Hugo but find the Sony ZX2 right into the KSE amp via line out on ZX2 is a killer portable rig.  It has better synergy than the AK240 I had previously.  I do travel with my Mojo for those occasions where I want a little better separation.

The Aurisonics asg2.5 is a very good option in the same price bracket as the se846. However go for these only if you love bass! 
The 2.5 with Mojo is pure audio bliss. The Mojo really brings out the treble and mids. The icing on the audio cake is being able to EQ the Mojo. Now Im getting thunderous sub bass.
