I guess I should buy the Chord Hugo then. It's hard to find a dealer who sells it though.

I've come to the conclusion that as much as I like the Westone foams, I cannot wear them. They literally hurt. It's impossible to get them the whole way in because of how quickly they swell to full size, and trying to sort of "wriggle" them into place gives me some terrible brush burns.
you run your 846 from the X5's line out instead of the HP out? or you have an external amp driving the 846?
The "grey" filter I use is the black sans foam,
Should Jaben stock the X5, I will surely audition it the moment I have some free time.
I don't think Jaben carry Fiio gear. Noisy Motel in Prahran is probably the next closest unless Kew (i.e. Addicted to Audio) is easier to get to.

I live in the northern suburbs (yup I'm one of them), but Prahran is perhaps the easiest as I am relatively familiar with the area (the Royal Victorian Society for the Blind - now known as Vision Australia - used to have an office there). But in saying that I have never checked out Addicted. There's no harm in checking out both I suppose.
I am intrested in these shure 846 in ears but can some honest guy tell me if i am going to experience any major difference from lets say the t jays four or the shure se 215k in ears when i am only going to listen to them with a macbook pro late 2103 and a galaxy note 3 for the most times with no amp, is it worth all that extra money or not thats the question i am asking i can't test the 846 in a store here so i don't know how they sound at all ??
X5 LO > amp > 846
just one of the many configurations i am experimenting with my new 846's
talking of which - i can see a fine piece of black seal like a thick hair sitting inside the housing of one of the ear pieces - its lying in the thread dangling across the hole where the nozzle sits (still connected) - i hope i havent damaged the seal by putting the nozzle in misaligned or something
may need to get some fine tweezers in there and cut it off !
i think with all the filter swapping going on the 846's may be prone to getting damaged ?
I think Hugo could be good match for the 846, close to 0 output impedance, and the treble output is really good.
