Can't fault it at all.

I have owned OCC copper, silver plated copper, silver and now silver litz aftermarket cables. Silver does not make the sound brighter what it does is bring greater clarity and punch to the entire sound from sub bass to treble. This greater clarity is sometimes interpreted as brightness when in fact the overall spectrum is clearer. My advice, especially with the 846, is pure OCC silver litz as it is a great synergy.
Greater punch greater clarity, this is what we get with a filter change to white ....which is great for some and others find it a little bright ....I don't know what exactly Shures cables are made of but I assume it's copper ....with a much better quality copper cable with the white filter which let's the treble shine, this combination proves to be a better one than stock that improves the quality and overall sound signature.....with some silver cables it may prove to be a little too much for some but there are those who like this ....for some this was the complaints of the iE800 well if they had included detachable cables and we ran silver cables hmmm just imagine what might have been with the treble then....
I love the SE846 but I have to give it up due to ear aches. I've binged on all the high end IEMs for the past year and now I'm paying for it with a sore ear canals.
i am using the foam star tips from westone with my 846 and i love it....sound great and relatively comfortable or at least as comfortable as having something wedged inside your ear canal for long periods of time can be!

For armchair listening they were great but overall I am unsure as to what else is missing from the IE800s that the SE846s deliver.
Other than the triple flange usage with the F111, I've been all comply or Shure in terms of tips. I didn't have much of a choice with the Sennheiser IE800 either, but I never got a great fit with those. Even without the great fit, I'd stack the IE800 against any other IEM - it is an underrated masterpiece. If they had used a detachable cable and allowed other tips, it would get my vote as the best of this new generation of universal IEMs. Otherwise, the SE846 is my fave.
I've used triple flanges with Etys for years with no issues. The F111 though was not designed as well as those because you could jab them much farther into your ear that you should.
