definitely not in terms of ergonomics and comfort

ZX2 to SE846 via LDAC




Not bad, but certainly doesn't match up to the SE846 with some balanced cable into the ZX2.

Anyone else tried this combo, could you please give some impressions?

Cheers!

With TRRS,high level of detail and separation,dry sound,extremely tight and deep bass,very good layering and center image.

guys, the Shure 846 with white filter, is it more in line with W60 bass in term of quantity? I am bass shy, really love the W60 but its quality is not top notch.

I know what you mean there. I never put all that much emphasis on sources (past a certain point) or things like cables. With a lot of equipment the difference between different DAC/amps can be minimal.

I've encountered two models that made me be more careful about that. One is the HD800,and the other is the Andromeda. I have 4 amp/dac setups I use often and the Andromeda sounds too bright, cold and lacking impact on two of them. It's just boring to listen to, even a bit fatiguing. With the other two (which probably have much lower output impedance) it's very nice. Much softer, warmer while retaining all the resolution and with a much stronger and tighter bass that really makes you feel those kick drums.



The SE846 didn't seem very vulnerable to the source to me, so in that sense it is a bit more versatile. Bass and lower mids were always satisfying, but I never managed to get the detail clarity and resolution I missed, regardless of source or filters. But your experience is quite interesting... I never tried any cables other than the stock. Gotta say I'm... hmm, cable-upgrade-skeptical, but if jt can be heard, I'll be converted.

I love the detail of these IEMs from my Questyle QP1R in low gain with white filters and spinfit tips. I put a VERY small amount of Eucerin moisturizer on the tips. Moisturizes the ear canal and gives you a killer seal.

I have five cables, six if you want to count the stock cables that came with the 846's individually. The stock cables sound good. My first silver litz sounded better than the stock and the next two cables were significantly better still. I was in the right place at the right time at the time of my purchases. I don't have any cables that costs $1K and I waited 6 months for.

neither did I, really. maybe 750 and 4-5 months

You were the initial bad influence on my looking into better performance cables. Damn you! lol

I would probably listening to ear buds and beats through my phone if i never came upon this site. yolo baby yolo. rethink, I actually had bought 846, thought i was crazy, like a fox....

Someone try to use the shure on '' balanced mode '' ?, is the same?

846 is so efficient I doubt it's necessary. For preference purpose it depends on your dac amp, if it's balanced your committed to balanced. Some balanced amps could be better than se, that would provide better sq, but se is fine 846 wise.

Sorry, I was referring to the Shure 846 with the Sony h.ear in Bluetooth receiver.

So I tried the spinfits with the SE846 today.
 
Does anyone have a combination that works well with this?
 
I put them on and the bass was almost too much. It was still clear and tight, but it was a bit too boomy at the same time and too in my face.
 
I used it with the white filters. Any recommendations would be welcomed. It opened up the treble a bit (little more air, better treble extension overall but still not like game changing different)but its kind of tucked away behind such a heavy slamming bass.
 
I also had to turn down the volume that I normally listen to them at because the bass I felt was a little too heavy. Its like floor shaking deep punching bass. Not the best when dance music is already pretty punchy.
