Just saying guys, I'm enjoying these immensely out of an iPhone 5. Convenient, and amazing sound
To complement the Dita? What do you want the IEM for? Do you want one that is more secure, yet good-sounding, for sports? Do you want it to offset the sound of the Dita? If you can elaborate on what you mean by 'complement', I think a number of us could better help you. Personally, I find the Dita to be perfect to my preferences, but would prefer it to sit more securely in the ear. My wife can't fit it in her ear. By sound, the Dita is a very even, honest earphone, with great bass definition that isn't over puffed. Rather, it compensates a bit for the earphone's lack of body impact by giving a rounder, fuller, more detailed bass than some earphones. It is not puffy or bloomy, which is great.
Rather organic, but not too organic. So... if I were to find an earphone that would 'complement' its sound, it would be something either tripped up for bass or mids, something tuned for a specific frequency. If I were to pick an earphone that just complemented the Dita for fit, it would be something like a Westone UM3x or a custom earphone or a Shure, but lose the nasty stock cable.
I am the same tho i got the se846 and they are stunning too.
Iem's are getting so good these days
how do the se846 compare to the ditas (and which version do you have)?

thanks for the great reply Organic sounds exactly like what I want.
I'm going changing my portable audio set up soon and was trying to see what would be the best way to upgrade I would like to stay with IEMs due to there portability factor but some of the stuff that people are saying about "recessed" mids kind of spooked me. I listen to many genres of music and for some (most) the dita sounds perfect but I do listen to a lot of rock, and was a guitarist at one point, so the performance with rock is very important for me.
My video unboxing/review is up.

Bassier,a bit more clarity more forward sounding, i like them a lot, tho i hated the 535's.
Dita's are unique and i couldn't recommend them high enough.

@christrz: great impressions: originally I felt the SE846 to be veiled and boomy, but then I changed tips. The biggest problem with narrow sound tube earphones is that sound completely changes depending on the tip. Of course, every earphone exhibits sound shift when seated differently or when a different tip is attached, but the SE846 has a special problem, partly because of its awful cable, partly because most ear tips will block portions of the sound tube and drastically shift the sound. With the right tips, the SE846 is neither boomy nor veiled. They are airy but not overly sparkly with gobs of detail in the lows and highs.
Both the Dita and the SE846 are absolute favourites.
