Exploded views of the SE846 internals--including a very cool exploded view of the low-pass filter itself--have been added to the images in the first post of this thread.
What wasn't nice was the cable. It isn't evidently in its final form in Japan (either the cable or the phone, I didn't grab which it was) but I'd not expect new materials. The cables swivelled out away from my ears without me doing anything and are very uncomfortable in combination with glasses.
Sound is very nice. The cable really needs an overhaul.
I bought JH13 for 899 ,4 years ago and during that time it was heralded as best things since sliced bread. I still remember the most expensive universal is tf10 (dont count the fire sale) and 535. Fast forward 4 years and FitEar, AKG3003,IE800 and now this.....wonder what world have become......I tried 3003, despite the build, SQ is no match to JH13......Not sure about these 2
$1,000??? What!
I will pass. Or just buy JH16 with twice the drivers for a couple hundred bucks more.
SE535 still the sweet spot in the lineup.
SE846 vs. FitEar ToGo! 334... that will be an interesting comparison.
The JH13 now is an old news. I still love mine but it is surpassed now by the Freqphased version which is noticeably better than the old JH13. Despite I said that, I love my old JH13pro. I agree with you that every manufacturer is cashing in on their products. One definite advantage that the new Shure has over any custom IEMs is the resale value.
