Hi,

I am deciding between buying the shure se 846 (I can get them for around $650 new) and the fiio fh7 (around $450). Which one do you consider is the better buy? Is it worth it to spend the extra $200 for the shure? I listen to a wide variety of music, and these iem will be my first high end iems.

It depends which thread you ask in. :)

There are folks in the fh7 thread who prefer it. I own both and prefer the 846, though the fh7 is very good. I've never been disappointed with the 846.

For $650 I would buy the Shure 846's and feel zero remorse about the purchase .... that's an awesome price. I've not listed to the FH7's for a very long time, I will say that I did like them but I don't think they are in the same ballpark as the 846 .... more like listening to the 535s (which I also own) ... Brutal reality, I just broke down and bought my first set of full custom IEMs delivered just a few months ago. I picked up the JH Audio 16v2's, and I really do love them, they sound great, but after having them for a few months I will say
that while they sound different than the 846's they are in no real way "better" just slightly different signature and I would have been totally happy just continuing to listen to the 846's for the rest of my life :D ... you won't be disappointed and sensaphonics will make you a nice set of silicon mold shells to get that custom fit.

You'll probably get different recommendations. For me the FH7 sounds (even) better. And this in the Shure SE846 thread! :astonished:

Sorry about your wallet. You're now going to have to get both, or you'll always be wondering if you made the right choice. (They're both great, but get the 846 !)

Thank you for you comments!
Just ordered the se846 :). Is the fiio m11 a good dap to use with the se846?

Fiio "recommends" a lower impedance limit of 16 ohms on all their devices, but in my experience the SE846 works great with them. Silent noise floor.

Been using the M11.
I can confirm that it works beautifully with the se846.
