The last few:
 
SE846 > FA-4E > TG334
 
The FA-4E is just a total bang for buck masterpiece though, rivaling the SE846 which is almost 2X the price.

 actually all high-priced shure models are way overpriced - why people keep buying them , beats me - probably a lot of money for spending....

That is just your opinion. And not very substantiated. I own many high en iems and find the 846 totally worth its price. Especially with the various filters. You might not like the signature but that is another matter.
 
PS: judging how other people are spending their money is obnoxious. Probably a lot of time for wasting...

Have you heard the SE846? If not, it's not cool to apply blanket statements like that. FYI, I have not liked a single Shure IEM I've heard prior to the 846. But this one I truly enjoy. It is now my daily use IEM, and for that I am glad I bought it.

IMO in general pretty much ALL iem/Headphone/Amp/Dac ect ect ect is overpriced, i understand R&D but how much overhead is it, how much do the iem's really cost vs how much are you paying....BUT you have to pay to play.
 
but that is also with everything, from clothes to shoes to cars to homes,  we are a consumer Civilization, and as long as there is a demand there will be a product to suffice .
