Honestly. with the way you ask for compares and product spec questions that have been posted in almost every thread along than this nonsense, I have to ask. Are you trolling?

I'm not trolling. I just feel this SE846 is extremely over priced and it is not justified for its actual value.

... Ok. Who would win in a fight, Lemmy or God?

 

[Oof Oink]

SE 215 costs £80 but SE846 costs almost 12X more.

I would expect SE846 sounds at least 10X better than SE215.

If that's how you believe this market works, and that the increase in price always correlates an exact increase in performance, then you're simply wasting your time here...

Simply,
Benefits > Costs = Value
Expectations < Performance = Satisfaction

The IEM market is very subjective.

Yes, initially the MSRP on the Earphone Solutions site was $1,399 and then it 'went down' to $1,250.
 
Do you honestly think that once the SE846 is released (in the US) Shure will be charging $1,250? I very much doubt it. Often the MSRP is simply a way to get people to think they're getting a discount / bargain (in this case 20% off), when the actual authorised retail price is $,1000 (in the US).

1250 is oficial MSRP from Shure press release. And yes, I think when they will be released to more shops, most of them will be charging MSRP price, especially in Europe.

Well, I'm pretty sure we will have to pay more than MSRP. With Shure is has always been 1$ = 1€.
 
So I will unsubscribe now, because:
a) I never wanted a subwoofer in my CIEMs and I never wanted one in my home stereo speaker setup either.
b) I will take those 1,250 €, visit the same customs manufacturer who works for famous stage musicians, have a chat, drink a coffee with him, get my personal logo and color choice, take away some extras like a shirt for free, wish him a nice day and thank him for the 10 hours of handwork he put into my unique product.
c) There are plenty of cheaper universals that sound better (technically and from tonality) than the SE535, IMO.
 
I do really hope the SE846 sounds terrific but I mostly fear other companies will also think they can charge 800 $ for 'having an idea.'

The risk takers who are willing to fund their ideas usually get to charge for them.

Everything I've ever bought funded an idea.

Now you'll unsubscribe? You should have unsubscribed 60 pages ago. At least 30 pages ago.
At least for me, I know I won't buy custom because I buy new stuff fairly often and sell the stuff. Basically, I upgrade fairly often.

Otherwise no reason for SHURE to sell SE846 at such amazing high price!

Shure never promised a “revolutionary new sound” but simply a new low-pass filter that they refer too as “ground-breaking” (in its implementation).
 
And since the term “X better” (or times better) doesn't actually mean anything, I'd say the SE846 will sound “100X better” than Shure's own SE215. That makes the SE846 a "super bargain".

 
i think SE846 wont sound 10x or 100x better than 215, because "the law of diminishing return"

i agree with that, but why less people complaining about akg k300i or fit ear 334 price than SE846 price? they even have not tried this SE846

Perhaps he now realizes that constantly complaining about an IEM for which he knows little about (and never contemplated purchasing) speaks 100% about him and 0% about the IEM itself. As bad as that sounds, it's still better than realizing that he doesn't like subwoofer sound (Shure's main talking-point about the SE846).

My point was that 10X and 100X don't mean anything. It's just hyperbolic language.

Simple, don't buy it and/or wait to buy it from another source probably cheaper (amazon) or "used" in the forums...

I am in southern California and it is impossible to get good fish&chips around here - I have been to London a few times and the chip shops are wonderful - the fact that you can actually choose the type of fish is mind boggling to an American. (All we typically get is some sort of chewy white fleshed fish) And try finding a good malt vinegar....

 
Blimey. I can't wonder what it would be like to not be able to choose the type of fish. 

 

[rudeboybass]

its funny how a lot of people on head-fi think there qualified to speculate on a product that they have not even seen in person... let alone tested.
just a bunch of Trolls fighting over who gets to sit under the bridge and fling metaphorical poo at each other..
quite entertaining actually

LOL - After listening to Lemmy's voice, I came to the conclusion that he and God had gone at it previously. Since Lemmy is still alive and recording - he must have come out on top. So in a rematch, there is a good chance he would prevail once again.
