I received these in the mail today. It's nice to live close to the dealer so it's next day delivery regardless of shipping option. It took a bit to figure out to remove the cable since I can't just pull like I do with the 2 pin cables that I have with my ciem. I thought I would hate the cable but the fact that it could swivel around seems to make fit easier if I need to adjust it but time will tell.
 
The default filter is definitely more balanced than i thought it would be. I got a lot of stuff mailed to me the last week so I should have lots of listening time ahead

  today i will do my own molds using radians custom mold that only cost 10 usd form ebay, there tons of videos u can check on youtube how to do that, i will report back tomorrow

 
I'm tempted to try it.. my main worry is messing up the SE846's while getting them molded.

I've tried a few times and it always came out bad. Maybe I could have someone give me a hand next time but meh.. I might as well just pay a professional to do it for me.

It's better to get a professional to do an ear impression instead of saving a few bucks for DIY when it deals with something as important as your ear. 
 
Also many times if it doesn't come out right they may give you free impressions to redo it.

Dhc is by far the best quality cable I have tested and heard. I went for hybrid copper silver litz 8 braid and it adds from the sub bass to high end seperation. Beautiful, easy to manage ( soft) the only problem, expensive and takes 8-12 weeks to be made and shipped.

I would buy these if I could. No doubt.
 
I would also consider the AKG K3003 which are also triple-driver (one dynamic, two balanced). From what I can understand, the SE846 are dual-bass/mid, treble and a radiator which act as a sub-woofer effect.
 
I see B&O are also doing earphones in this market however they aren't aiming for the high-end of the market.

But the B&O earphones will be shaped like pyramids and as such your ears will have to be surgically altered for them to fit.
Style first!

They do seem like a fashionably overpriced - not value for money. At least you'll blend into the crowd with your Apple Watch and Superdry clothes.

I'd recommend trying the B&O gear before judging it. For the price, their earphones and headphones are generally extremely well made and sound good.

Shhh, he startles easily.

I've put on a couple hours with these so far. It seems like the blue filter is the one that suits me best. The sound change with the filters is bigger than I thought it was going to be. That's probably a good thing as it gives different signatures if someone doesn't like the default filter. The default filter also is more balanced than I expected from Shure. It has been a long time since I owned anything from Shure as the last iem was the SCL4 many years ago.
 
I've tried all the tips I own and it seems that the olives work best for me. I'll buy a pack of the mediums tomorrow on my way home so I have a bunch of replacements but if they are anything like the original olives they will last me a while. I don't really like the function of the cable. It is not as flexible as I would like and the memory wire is annoying. The linum cable would be nice but it gets caught on zippers and other stuff really easily. Are there any other cables without memory wire that are very flexible and doesn't tangle easily? I know headphone lounge is a good place to start but I don't like their memory wires but their cables are pretty good in function.
 
Also it doesn't look like my JH13 are going anywhere but time will tell.

I own and enjoy B&O gear, rest easy.
