all i am tryin to say is that for some one on a budget just be warned of hype if all you want is no frills good quality sound ,the sm64 version TWO punches well above its weight it also has high impedance and prefers an amplifier , no one is moaning or foot stomping here . or complaining about price BUT there are a few people jumping to conclusions . keep it clean keep it real . dont insult the way i choose to use my words just read them or dont read them up too u . i insulted no one on purpose ,you remind me of football hooligans barracking for you team ..
reasons why i like 846
1 they are max i candy
2 sound brilliant evn at low levels which is unique
3 they are hard as nails
4 the packaging
5 customer support
6 360 deg swivel cable that u can sleep on
u get the picture i could go on
846 are worth every penny for those reasons.
petty at best reasons why i dont like 846
1 picky for a source
2 scared of high volume listening
3 cable is not black and braided
4 the mids are recessed (maybe that is a source problem )
5 ?? i giv up
hypothetical reasons why i would buy something cheaper
1 because its cheaper
2 good things sometimes come in small packages
3 because i researched it properly or tested it and i was convinced i was impressed
4 getting more than my moneys worth makes me happy
there are a couple of examples that in my opinion that punch above or are ahead of there class in sound quality
1 gro7 -200 sound quality value = 250 to 350
2 sm64. - 500 " " = 300 from a phone or 700 to 800 if properly sourced and.. *1000 if they were better built like shure add another 200 just for the name sake and new tech claim*
2 that don't
1w4 - 600 sound quality value = 400 - 450
2846 - 1200 . " " = 700 or 900 if properly sourced only guessing but 1000 worth of cables and amps could push the sound to a possible 1000 plus dac that is 400 or 500 plus iem that = 2700 for 1000 sound.... BOOM REALITY 2700 later and you have 1000 worth . do the math
i would equate these values to strictly sound quality * so disregard
valid reason why i don't like this thread
1 stand offish and defensive behavior - remember all you did was make a purchase no need to dis anybody or any other product you do not own shure or work for them be aware of your influences to others its 1200 dollars we are talking about some people on budget dont need to bend over backwards to get the happiness they are after
respect.
Is this all real or some of it is a joke? Meds are what? recessed ? Cable is not black is a reason not to like an earphone? I bet most would have bought the 846 with the old plain fragile SE530 cable. Yeah the stock aint the most comfy but it is very strong and heck if you dislike it due to color or not being twisted then it can be changed. Also Picky? To me the 846 is very flexible and adaptable to different sources. My 1 cent.
