Just received encore, sorry for any slag on delivery. The sound well yup, batter up. encore has pushed my three year love affair with 846 plus DHC hybrid cable to back up status, riding the pine as we say in the great white north. Ill give a heads up when I receive DHC silver type 4 litz 8 braid for encore, as Im sure it will pump up what is already a magical sound quality. The bass is a fast textured wall and the mids succulent, dynamic and wide. That my friends is where the magic happens in the mids, and encore is providing some of that good stuff. hats off to the pelican case and associated accessories, but dam, its all about those grey and charcoal iem, nice job.
I have no comparison to any other noble product and wrote a quick blurb about 846 comparisons on that thread, cheers
