curious about how the Rosie compares to the SE846..!!!???
which one better for trance and edm music???
If you have any specific songs to compare I could do a comparison between the two. I just got the Rosie's and haven't had a chance to burn them into my brain yet but so far I'm loving their sound sig.
Rosie's are pretty balanced top to bottom. Highs are clear and not rolled off and seem to extend into beyond my hearing capability which is about 17-18khz. Mids are right where I like them to be. Not overly forward or recessed or V shape sounding. Bass isn't as impactful or slamming as the SE846. Overall sound can be bright or warm depending on the tuning. Personally I'm not afraid of EQ so I just set it to 12 oclock (50%) and use a slight sub bass boost in the 30 and 60hz region for the rumble I like. Soundstage on the Rosie is much wider than the SE846 which to me has a smaller soundstage mostly due to its more forward mids.
The SE846 has a bass that just rocks. It thunders, rumbles, slams and impacts while being fast as lightning. The mids are more forward than the Rosie so it gives it a more active lively sound in the mids. The highs are more rolled off and give the appearance of being warm but with a slight EQ boost of around 8 and 16khz they can open up and become very similar to the Rosie.
Like with any IEM it comes down to preference. If you want smaller and more comfy go with the SE846 and EQ. If you don't mind the larger size get the Rosie and still EQ to your liking. Off the shelf tho the Rosie is closer to my preferred sound sig which is almost identical to the Fostex TH900 (but with a -3dB @8Khz and +6dB @30hz EQ).
I have gotten a very slight hint of sibilance but I think I'm overly sensitive to the 4-8khz region. If it glares even a mild amount it's harsh to me. That said it only really hits me when it's loud and only barely then.

I was thinking of this explanation when I first put the Rosie's in...
The SE846 is like a $1000 set of speakers where $800 of that budget went to the subwoofer with cheaper speakers. The bass is amazing and the best feature but the mid and high speakers weren't as nice so they suffer.
The Rosie is a $1000 set of speakers where each piece was the same price. It sounds more rounded top to bottom and not shortcuts were taken.
