It will be my first iem
coming from a hifi enthusiast, i returned my NAD receiver cause it was a bit warm with my klipsch speakers.
oooo cant wait too hear hifi in the train or on my bike.
what you think about SE846 btw, i almost went for that one, price and comfort was the killer.

Im listening while writing this..
First impressions:
1 beautifull piece of engeneering and very comfy
2 this is indeed warm, eq settings will make it less warm
3 sounds like a over the ear headphones, good staging
4 bass is good

It's my first iem but I had many budget ie before this, i give SD3 a 7,5. A 9 would be my klipsch heresy 3 speakers, my ears are allready ruined by spoiledom cause of them.

imo no matter where or how u listen hifi, when the sound is good it puts a smile on my face. A big smile is a 10

Get pure silver cables and use ortofon tips..it will make the sig from warm to natural

 

[Migou67]

@nazrin313 I think the same as you, I'm waiting for a new cable and already use the ortofon tips

I come to the conclusion that this sound color is not my taste, it is too warm. I like a more bright and agressive sound. SD3 lacks too much of the treble, about 4-5db. But the lows its handle very well though, good deep thight bass, really reminds me of some over the ear headphones, well done.
 
489,- i paid for this IEM and I really was expecting more (rating 8 at least), maybe it is beacuse i read too much head-fi/au-id reviews of SD3
 
Cable and tips might change the color of the sound a bit, but sorry aint gonna happen, it probably change
the sound by 20%, I need more than that maybe 50% (all cause less of treble).
so unfortunately im gonna return my SD3, and try another IEM, any suggestion guys???
has anyone tried the vmoda m100?... Really interested in this one might get this one if no other IEM can replace my SD3.
 
my goal is to find a IEM or headphone that has the same quality of my hifi system (klipsch heresy 3 + subwoofer). this is a big challenge, i know, but SD3 was a good start
 
cheers,

@whostino Read this review about hybrids, at the moment I like a lot the Sony XBA-H3 with the iBasso Dx90.

Tralucent audio 1plus2 is the answer to your question.

 

[Migou67]

The 1plus2 are in the same price range that the klipsch heresy 3, if you have the funds, they're really good without a doubt.

 

[whostino]

tnx guys
 
hmm 1400euro 1plus2???

Thomann.de have the shure 846 for 790 euros if that's any use.
