Because it is.

The driver looks like a balanced armature.

SE846 vs. FitEar ToGo! 334... that will be an interesting comparison. Hopefully we can try these back-to-back this Saturday at the Tokyo Spring Headphone Festival May 11, 2013

 
That's what I'm very much looking forward to.  
 
I love my TG334s and have no intent on moving on any time soon, but I did own the 500/535s for a significant period of time and am very curious what Shure has cooked up after so many years since that line was first introduced.

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.

 
Can we get a photo of the SE846 and the SE535 side by side?  The fit of the SE535 is perfect for my ears so I would like to see how it compares.

So any idea how they sound compared to the AMG K3003? Thanks

 

[TekeRugburn]

1k?  hmmm... ill take 2!

 

[miceblue]

Those filters are pretty small in size. I wonder how much those are going to be sold for...

Woha! That's a pretty damn sophisticated low pass.
 
BTW. Sonion 3800 for lows = expect HUGH bass from it. This design is like a 1964 Quads packed into universal shell. I believe there will be similarities between those two

 

[Mooses9]

well im glad to see that this isnt just another shure headphone with slight advantages over the 500/530/535 looks like they stepped up their game in the r&d department

There's some serious innovation going on here, my wallet had a cardiac arrest when I heard about this been a fan of my 535's for ages now, as for the sonion driver my frogbeats c5 has a rather large sonion bass driver in there and they reach low.

Just put an order on earphone solutions for 899+shipping with the 10% discount.
Can't wait to hear them, this one truly sounds revolutionary to me, not a regular 4 driver or a hybrid, but something specifically target at the weakness of conventional BAs which sounds quite promising.
I really wish it comes with 535's intimate and lush mids + dynamic sounding bass. As for treble, since you can always adjust in accordance with your own taste so it should satisfy everybody.

I was told by earphonesolutions that no coupon was available (other than the freeship) on the SE846.

Pretty interesting concept!

I agree. Only the free shipping was available not a 10% discount.
