The QP1R is powerful enough to drive most IEM's/headphones with authority?

 
Yes. You can read up on it http://www.head-fi.org/t/778877/review-questyle-audio-qp1r-with-multiple-headphone-and-iem-pairings
Starting at the end of the thread with members impressions is just was good as starting at the beginning. Maurice did a fantastic job with the review and it keeps getting bigger.

Got my 846's back from Shure after not having them for like a week and a half. I tossed everything together today while at my internship. Stock cable, stock Blue inserts, Spinfit's, Chevelle "Comfortable Liar," and I think I had the volume on my QP1R around 13. Holy Crap does the sub bass impress when you forgot what it sounded like. I LOVE how Shure takes care of replacing Nozzle Interface Seals.

Just received an envelope with a selection of Spinfits. I was sceptical, but they are simply fantastic. I'll be honest, i haven't truly been happy with the SE846 since I got them. The olives made the sound muddy, and had a habit of sealing against my ear canal ruining the sound. I'd been putting my sonic frustrations down to the filter inserts, and have spent hours switching back and forth trying to find nirvana.

I can't recommend the Spinfits enough. Clear, detailed sound unimpeded by needless wax guards, with nice tight bass. Perfect seating every time, they are so easy to put in and out. The best £10 or whatever it was I've spent in a long time.

Yesterday I bought the RHA T20i. Ive been using the sony ex650 and werent all that happy with them, the T20i deffinetley sounds better! My rock playlist sounds awesome!

I have been looking at the shure se846 and the 64 audio U6 (I dont want customs). The T20i is an immediate upgrade for me, Im thinking one of the other two is my longterm end game solution for portability.

Does anybody know how the SE846 sound compared to the 64 audio U6?

I'm finding the 8s to be not as pleasing with classical music. There seems to be some kind of resonance or sizzle that becomes annoying.

Setup: iPhone 6 Plus > 846, Shure olives, stock blue filters, stock cable and Tidal.

Any similar experiences ? Thanks

 
Do you have a low impedance DAC, Amp or DAC-Amp to use with your computer? The question why I am asking is because then you could download sine generator software like "SineGen" and do a manual sweep to find out what specific frequency it is where you are experiencing this.

Hi Everyone
 
Proud  new owner of Shure SE846 here. I got my pair of brand new 846 a week ago. When I plugged it into my computer for the first time I feel the huge difference. Absolutely love it. I've noticed I hear a lot more details that I never heard of.  I come from cheap earbuds such as the apple white buds and JVC HAFX1X.  This is my first pair of 100+ pounds earphones. To me the difference is so huge that I think I will never go back to sub-300 pounds earphones.
 
A few days later I started using my new lover with my iPhone6Plus while I am on the go. I immediately feel the degradation of sound quality and sound stage and also losing of a lot of details. My initial thought was that I need to adjust myself to that. But after a few days comparing I am now convinced that the same lossless music sounds a lot worse on my iPhone than on my computer, which is just a bog standard desktop PC with a  onboard Realtek sound card.  
 
Today I spent another 1 hour comparing my old JVC HAFX1X with the 846 on my iPhone and guess what, at the end, my conclusion is that 846 does sound better on the iPhone but not 600 pounds more better.
 
I didn't want to do the same comparsion between the JVC and  846 on my computer as I know they are just not on the same league on the PC and I wont hesitate to spend the extra 600 pounds for the improvment..
 
Anyway, does the same happen to your guys? Do you notice that PCs drive the 846 a lot better than iPhone?
 
 
 
PS. I got an Elecom Aptx bluetooth receiver last night. I paired it with my PC with a cheap 3 pounds eBay Aptx transmitter and it sounds fantastic with the 846. In fact I can't tell the difference between the wired connection and the Aptx bluetooth.
 
 
It's a sad truth that iPhone is not on Par with PC sound card that I just discovered. Remember that iPhone costs more than my PC.
 
 
Now I am looking for a APTX phone now. I probably will wait for another half year. If the new iPhone 7 doesn't have APTX or it sounds the same **** as my iPhone6, I will definitely dump Apple.
 
 
I find myself hearing music more and more on my PC nowadays instead of using my iPhone...

I decided to do the blue mod for the first time. You need to remove the foam at the top? (atleast that is what I did, there are 2 foams inside the blue filter). 
 
It seems with this modded blue filter, I lost a bit of sub bass. Quite strangely, the Shure SE846 sound signature is similar to the HD 650 with the modded blue filter except for the treble extension?

Thanks for the tip (no pun intended).  Having trouble finding them in the US - any ideas for dealers?  Thank you -

Sorry, found 'em on Amazon for $10.  On the way - looking forward to replacing my foam tips!!

I was worried about something going wrong with the mod and that the blue filter would become useless. Hopefully I won't loose the foams but I doubt I go back to the unmodded blue filter.

Keep the form. Was on nodded blue for 9 months but went back to stock recently. You'll never know...
