Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

No, no, Shure called me today and told me the 846-12 is coming out Weds at half the price for 3X the drivers.  AND that the 846 original would INCREASE in price because, as we all know, when you buy food with less stuff it costs more so Shure just figured the 4-driver version should cost more.  I can hardly wait.

And it will be a Japan exclusive so you can't get it :)

<irony on> There will be a new flagship with 16 drivers, therefore it will be called "SE9167 ('9-16-7')". It will have three included filters to choose from and they will be named "(British) Leyland", "Angela" and "Roxy". <irony off>

They could split the mid driver and make it a dual. Its about the same size as the dual bass combine. For a total of 5 drivers and the form factor would remain the same, but would doing that have a big difference if any on the sound

Or, they can wait two years and release the SE-150-67 for its huge loyalty base in the big C.

Seriously?  Or are ya' kidding?  'Cause there is no indication anything will happen on Weds except that it will follow Tues and come before Thurs.

Power of the internet!

One poster mentions its two years since 846 came out, and further posts suggest price cuts, price increases, an event, and a new model :). Unless I've missed something its all joking and wishful thinking!

Haha thanks! Ehh I guess I'll go with klipsch for now, I was mentioned that the ie800 are good along with the se846 but, I'll save up latter for those

I listened to the Sennheiser Momentum IEM throughout the night prior to the SF mini meet today (along with a bunch of other awesome sounding IEMs) and I agree when you say you prefer it over the SE846 for some recordings, as it was one of my favorite that I listened to during the night.


I'm glad you go to test the Sennheiser Momentum IEM's. They really are an incredible deal. For the price, they deliver. And compete well with some of the best IEM's out there.

I bought the sennheiser momentum they r great but not as good as the shure as a whole they are very different

But for the price however they are amazing

I think my next iem is heir 8 or the velvet or the asg2

As much as I love the bass on shure but it's forward mid and sometimes harshness makes me want to look elsewhere
