I was timid bending the wire at first. Then I got brave and muscled them into a good tight curve. I can just drop them on my ear now. I was jealous of that woman in the Shure Video

I do what others have done,removing memory wire, but leaving half inch for strain relief. I for one, cannot get on with memory wire,or ear guides.

So, made the switch to the white filters because (yes, I know this is heresy to you bassheads) the blue filters gave too much bass for my tastes.  Definite improvement in clarity and treble, but I have a pair of Noble Savants and when I played same music through them, the Savants put out a sound that simply better.  People like to say that the Savants are weak on bass, but in this case no weaker than the 846 with white filters.  So, I like the treble improvement with the white filters but it really cuts back on the bass too much.  I'm tempted to try the "no filter" option, but I'm afraid it will go overboard from a sibilance standpoint.  Anyone else compare the Savants to the 846 this way?

30-40% not too loud actually

Are you sure its because listen to Se846 made you headache?

Fiio X5/Chord Hugo and iBasso DX90/Chord Mojo. Both great but one just a bit airier than the other. Modded blue 846 filter and Westone Star tips just having edge over Spintips.

Welcome!  Try listening to as many DAPs as you can to choose the one that is the best for your individual wants and needs.

Just bought some Penon Audio tips for the Andromeda, but I'm going to try them on the SE846 and feel how they feel, compared to the SpinFit and Westone sample pack tips.  Since the Penon Audio tips will be wider-bore than the SE846's nozzle diameter, I'll be using a modded tip tube for the Penon Audio + SE846 and find out the differences.
 
You going to London this year, my friend?

 

[saintintn]

No need for a DAP. I am using an iPhone 6. With the 846's IMHO, you don't need DAP. They're that good.

Oh yes, I have an early date with your Andromeda comparing with my 846! Haven't read whole thread yet but see there are seven or eight Campfire worldwide dealers but none in the UK or even Europe, shame.

Also bringing my Table-tenis bat (paddle to you guys ), just in case we find a table nearby, LOL. Not sure which day yet, but hoping Saturday, looking forward to seeing you again.

Ah yes!  I'll bring other IEMs as well, but the Andromeda is pretty special to my ears.  I took it to The Source AV meet and people were saying it was the best they've heard of the day (including the expensive and awesome sounding headphones such as the HD 800, HD 800 S, HE1000, LCD line [except for the 4] and others).
 
Hopefully we can get the comparison going and I'll bring my custom table tennis paddle/racket/bat and a few three-star balls.

But you'll need a DAP with the iPhone 7. No headphone socket
 
Or... you could sell your SE846 and get some Beats headphones by Dr. Dre, which will come with a lightning connector

 

[Duncan]

Is that now confirmed re no headphone jack?

Dark times if so, but Shure alongside most other manufacturers will make adaptors I'm sure, hopefully that will allow playback and charging (if not QI compatible) at the same time.

If they do, they won't be cheap, as Shure will have to pay Apple's MFi licensing fees.
 
There is a better solution for Apple users though: http://modmyi.com/forums/member-written-iphone-news/849433-how-why-we-should-all-more-device-agnostic.html
