Of course.
Are they as good as high end full-size headphones ?
Seriously a 1000 buck flagship IEM and their corporate vision wasn't even trying to beat the full size earphones is just beyond me!

There is no point in an IEM trying to beat full-sized headphones. It'll be like a Learjet trying to beat an Antonov in cargo space.
2 different high-end audio devices for different uses and needs.
Any suggestions for a portable balanced amp that doesn't hiss with the 846?
I am using the RSA Protector with my 846s and it is dead silent. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The reviews of the RSA F-35 Lightning are the same. If your DAP has balanced output go with the Lightning. If you are you are using a single output from your DAP like me with an iPhone 5 go with the Protector. Both are balanced amps.
just tested with ak120 single ended output to ALO International and Intruder. Too bad the shop did not stock Lightning or Protector. The International sounds very smooth and clear with a wider soundstage but the Intruder feels harsh to me. Is this due to the burning time required for the Intruder to shine? The Intruder is a stock unit and am using pure silver cables.
