New happy 846-owner checking in. I'm a sucker that couldn't resist a 20% discount at a Swedish online store. Missed out when they had a similar drive this autumn and was a bit bummed about it so this time my resistance was futile. My plan was originally that my next buy would be either the HD800S or finally saving up for a Stax SR009. But no, those will have to wait a bit longer.
 
Coming from a JH16 I'm so far happy about the 8s. Haven't done any side to side yet but the bass seems a bit more pronounced than the JH16 and the complaints lately about poor treble is at least not obvious to me yet. As the JH16s are considered to be quite bassy I'm a bit surprised that these are even more bassy, not complaining though as the bass isn't bleeding into the mids. Only tried with the stock blue filter.

I also bought mine from CDON. I got the blue colored ones.

They don't require burn-in to my experience.  It may take a while for your brain to adjust to them though.

Nice! I don't know why but I didn't notice they had the colored ones. Not sure if I would have gone that route anyway though.

Tried the spinfits today after using the complys some days. And absolutly little or No bass.But i have a little question.When i unmodded the blue filter,i placed the foam Just at the end (outside/where the tips go on)on the filter. But cant remember if it should be all inside at the bottom???

Mine had 2 poams in it. They were down in the middle towards the base.

I also placed them back towards the bottom,

I feel like the unmodded blues are the nicest sound for me, after a few months of burn in with mod blue/white

Glad to hear that you're now finally enjoying the SE846 w/ the SpinFit tips and Mojo as DAC.

Default Blue filters / 1/2 foamies at the top end of the filter..., Does it matter where you put the foamies?...
 
Example: Down the bottom end of the filter? does this change the sound signature...

I modified the filter to use the Knowles type last week and I'm never going back to the standard filters. Really worth the effort. I posted earlier how I did it. I only had a white pair on hand but IMO way better than stock blue with/with out foam and stock white. I will probably order more types of the Knowles. If anyone wants to try it, willing to combine and save on their ridiculous shipping charges.

Can you post some pictures of your modified filter... 
 
Have you got any good website links from where you buy the Knowles Dampers from?...
