SE846 Earphone,Clear

I primarily use these for online gaming directly connected to my GoXLR. Sure, I could get away with a cheaper pair of IEMs, but I wanted something that would work for both gaming and listening to music. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I appreciate great sound when I hear it, and the SE846s do that for me. Admittedly, I tried a different product first. Off the recommendation of others, I first tried the Sennheiser ie600s. They were great and had comparable sound to these, but the noise cancelation (or really noise isolation) wasn't as good, and the Sennheisers hurt my left ear, which has a bit of a bump on it. After dealing with the pain for several months, as well as having to have the Sennheisers replaced once due to a broken ear bud, I decided to give the Shure SE846 a try. Like I said, the sound quality of the Shures is similar to the Sennheisers, but the Shures have several added benefits (which it should for the increased cost). The noise cancelation (or isolation) is markedly better, especially with the triple flange ear tips, which go super deep in your ear. It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do, it's great. Another nice part is the interchangeable nozzles which allow you to EQ the sound without required software. I prefer the blues for gaming, but depending on your application you might enjoy the others more. They were super simple to replace, and when I was trying them for the first time I even switched them out mid-game. Took very little time at all. I highly recommend the Shure SE846s. The sound quality is great, allows you to EQ the sound with interchangeable nozzles, has great noise isolation, are very comfortable, and so far are extremely durable. Plus they look cool. Couldn't ask for a better set of IEMs!

It was a hard decisions to get these but after using them for a few months it’s worth it. They combine the quality of studio speakers with a subwoofer sound, arguably the best size in class and nice build quality. The included filters do make a difference although it is subtle and is more like a feel than distinct sound difference. Comparing them to KZ-ZS10, SE846 have a better sub 35HZ bass and substantially more enjoyable mid and high frequency sound. I can run Shures way louder on stage for a longer period of time without getting fatigue. Also Shures are half the size ;) You will not be able to go back to SE215s and SE425s again. After listening to SE846s I wonder why they even make those still. I got rid of my KRK Rocket speakers for mixing as Shures sound identical while not taking space on the desk. Lastly after realizing that hearing does not get better with age it’s nice to treat yourself while you can still enjoy all those nice frequencies :) A bit too pricey but worth it

The Shure SE846 is a truly exceptional product in terms of sound quality. While it only marginally surpasses the Etymotic Research ER4SR in this regard, the SE846's performance is still outstanding. Its tonal accuracy and precision are unmatched, allowing for an incredibly detailed and immersive listening experience. The SE846's low-end response is particularly noteworthy, offering a deep and powerful bass without sacrificing clarity or definition in the mid and high frequencies. Additionally, the SE846 outperforms the ER4SR in terms of soundstage and separation. The SE846's design features four high-definition drivers, with two dedicated to delivering low-frequency tones, one for the mid-range, and one for high frequencies. This configuration allows for a more nuanced and expansive soundstage, with instruments and vocals precisely placed within the stereo field. Moreover, the SE846's ability to separate individual frequencies allows for a cleaner and more defined sound, making even complex musical arrangements sound clear and well-defined. However, the question of whether an upgrade from the ER4SR to the SE846 is worth the quadrupled cost is subjective. While the SE846 does offer some notable advantages over the ER4SR, most listeners are likely not going perceive these differences as significant enough to justify the price difference. In my option save yourself the money.

I’ve been using Shure IEM’s for a long time: I started with e5c’s, which I ran into the ground. I stepped up to SE535’s which have been my stalwart travel partners for 15+ years, and they still sound great. While I’ve been intrigued by the SE846’s, the combination of high price and relative benefit over the SE535’s gave me pause. Well, fast forward ten years, with Gen2 now available and some cash in my pocket. The prices of good IEM’s have skyrocketed, yet the Shures have remained price stable. As a flagship (excluding the stratospherically priced electrostatic models), the SE846’s are a relative bargain. I must say the Gen2 846’s with red filter are every bit the upgrade I had hoped for. Better top end, more powerful base, and a really sweet midrange. They do require some power to drive them, and I’m running them balanced with an outboard DAC/amp. While they continue to come with a plethora of ear tip options, for now I’m sticking with my favorite triple flanges. Perhaps I’ll finally pull the trigger and add the custom Sensaphonic ear pieces. We’ll see. Gotta say I love ‘em, and they were very much worth the wait!

I do love them and use them every day. Went from Aonic 5s to these, there isn't a $400 IMO if you're thinking of upgrading. I did get them on a discount but they aren't worth $900.

Arrived quickly. These IEM sounds amazing! Wasn’t expecting them to sound as good as my mixing headphones. Can’t wait to use them at my next gig.

Tried other top end brands. B&O,Dr.Dre,Apple, Sennheiser. Shure is by far the best. I started from the lowest series first and in twenty years, I’ve finally moved up to the Pro. No regrets, I’ve purchased the Shure bluetooth for convenience. Occasionally I reattach the wire for a more intense sound.

I bought the gen 1 soon after release and used them for nearly 10 years I think before the mmcx connector broke . Sold the old ones and tried a bunch of chifi iem recommended on YouTube etc. mainly around the $200-350 usd range. Never really happy and remembered the 846 being so much better. Decided to buy the gen 2 on Amazon for a great price and so glad I did. These are truly amazing and in another league compared to the chifi stuff. Highly recommended still in 2024

私は元々ゼンハイザーのIE600＋BSEP FOR IE600を使ってて、IE600を音楽用に専念させる為にわざわざゲーム用にSE846を購入した訳ですが、本当にこのSE846の期待してたほどの性能以上すぎる素晴らしいものだったので、今は残念ながらIE600はほぼ使ってません笑笑、そんぐらい良いイヤホンですが、何が良かったかと言うととにかくドン！って鳴ったらスッと消えるレスポンスの良い低音と図太い高域のコントラストで、とにかく自分の求めてた音質でしたね！特に男性ボーカル物は最高でして！この点においてIE600以上です！そして何よりイヤーピースにAZLAの Crystal 2を使っている事もあって、低音と図太い高域が非常に良くて！素晴らしい音楽体験が出来ました！ただし細軸のノズルアダプターを付ける際には注意点がありまして、それが一番奥まで押し込まないのと、アダプターを付けたら下側を少し下に押し伸ばしてちゃんとイヤーピースが付け外しでずれたりしないようにしないと、低音が逃げてブライトノズルだと高域重視みたいなイヤホンに聞こえてしまうので気をつけてください！アダプターの付け方は皆それぞれですが、上はそのままに下の部分を押し下げたら明らかに低音が増えるのでびっくりしますよ！そしてゲームも最高でして、特にポケモン zaは最高の一言でした！今セールで9万円ですが、それに見合った、いやそれ以上の性能がある様に感じました！ぜひぜひ一度でいいから試聴して欲しいですね！特にWALKMANのNW-WM1AM2を私は所持してるので、それくらいのDapと組み合わせることを推奨しますよ！

Gives mucho better volume and clarity as my old Beoplay IEM. Cool!

I would totally buy shure again. After trying shure earbud, no other earbuds really made any impression. Shure product always ensure customers with a sure quality. Shure just never disappoints. Truely made me fall in love with these SE846 pro gen 2. 96.9/100
