I have both se846 and HD800S with mojo. Base on my experience HD800S farrrrrr better than se846.... It has more layerd sound compaied to se846.

It is an apples and oranges comparison, to my mind, as those are open-back (zero isolation) compared with an IEM boasting up to 37db isolation. Personally, I need the isolation, and the SE846 fills the bill nicely. But if I could listen to music in a quiet environment, I'd love to hear the HD800S, for sure!

You get a balanced cable with it. If you sell the balanced cable, the HD 800 S is cheaper than the original HD 800. So it's not exactly $700 more.
 
But the Shure SE846 can't be compared to the HD 800 S, since the HD 800 S is a reference headphone. The Shure SE846 with the modded blue filter is more close the HD 650 except that it has much better speed and clarity than it is to the HD 800 S.

That's the only way if you want beer clarity

err mojo and hugo are se dacs, TT has a balanced out xlr but hugo TT is also se dac, so is dave with balanced out xlr as well.. You are bypassing the iPhone dac but there is nothing balanced about that set up

Tried the spinfit medium today and liked what they did to the treble giving it a little more energy up top and cleaning the sound overall.Nice fit too,but where is the BASSSS??

 

[John Culter]

If you don't feel the bass, it means tip fit is not as tight as it should be. So the air pressure is leaking out, resulting in the low bass quantity. Correct size silicone tips can provide almost same seal quality as foam. Try the bigger ones
