There was a time limited 10% discount going on about 14 hours or so ago, it was counting down in the right of my browser with a count down clock going and I was tempted but I resisted.

If you don't have a coupon, BUY NOW and enter Coupon code: SAVE5 for 5% savings. Only 1 coupon per order. Not valid with SE846, Grado, Klipsch & Sennheiser.
A few random thoughts
-- Can't wait for the ER-4S purists to declare the Shure SE846 a bass monster because if a phone does not have the FR of the ER-4S, it just ain't good enough, or good at all.
-- Can't wait to see people describe the Shure's 'enhanced' bass as "fun".
-- Can't wait for Westone's new $1,000 universal IEM flagship.
-- Can't wait for UE's new $1,000 universal IEM flagship.
-- Can't wait for someone to do a 3-way shootout between the SE846 and the SR-009 & Monoprice 8320.
A question:
Whose idea was it to name this Shure product SE846? Already someone's called it SE864, perhaps some later will refer to it as SE684, SE648, SE468 or SE486. Why not SE1000, SE999.99 (or SE1399)?
With such a steep price people are going to think
it has to be revolutionary and something very special
or they are just curious if the price is "justified".
If I'm about to spend 1000$ on an IEM it won't be
a universal IEM for shure.

Why do some of you sound so surprised? We're used to paying more for our headphone than for our car, we're Head-Fi. And you know your money has nothing to do with the quantity of materials / size of the headphone your buying (the analogy "oh I can buy a fullsize headphone for that price" doesn't mean anything). It's all about the invaluable technological prowess, this is what you want.
Plus AKG and Sennheiser already have their ~1000$ universal fit IEM. I think the time is right for Shure to jump in and compete, their SE535 model being both successful and dated, relatively.
IEMs have barely started to bloom, expect to see more technological advances coming. You know you don't have to buy everything at first sight. Your are the master of your wallet, not the contrary. Commit or save for later.

-- Love the usual marketing strategy re: price: "List Price:$1,399.00 Sale Price: $999.99 You Save: 28.52%", and on top of that you get an extra 10% off. So, from $1,400 to $900 that's got to be a very, very serious bargain, that's $500 off!!

I would be interested if they weren't so expensive. As the other member said, I can go for a JH16 for a few hundred bucks more.
