Come on Shure-Se846 is too expensive for earphone.
I use earphone only if I travel out of town.

Best earphone for the value

I bought the earphone after reading rave review on it.
SoundMagic E11C review | What Hi-Fi?
The review is spot on.
The most remarkable difference between this and free earphone distributed by Delta Airline is detailed treble.
I also compared this with Grado SR80E headphone that I have.
Grado have slightly more open bass but this one seems to have more details.
Due to the limitation of luggage, I would rather bring earphone than regular headphone for long travel.
This one fit my need at the cost of 60$.
I found that the music through Youtube or Amazon prime using SoundMAGIC E11C earphones is quite enjoyable.
I highly recommend this for travel.

Yeah my SE535 seemed expensive at the time. Now after I forget how many years (5? 10?) it seems a bargain. The 846 sounds like another one where you cringe once when you pay for it then smile, and smile, and smile more and more every day for years and years.... but then I use mine every day on the commute, every time I watch a movie on the laptop, and every time the way it shuts out the world, it makes your iPod into a portable $100k listening room, your laptop into a home theater. Worth every penny. |

Etymotic Research ER4P-T microPro. https://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-microPro-Precision-Earphones/dp/B004CXBJ6A I may order it through Amazon to compare it with Soundmagic. If Etymotics is better than Soundmagic by 50%, I may keep it, although the former is two and half times more expensive. But 1K$ earphone is too much for me since I use it only during travel. |
Agree with you @millercarbon since getting the 846 and a cheaper A&K DAP listening when traveling has given me an entirely new insight into my music collection. However I quite quickly swapped out the 846 for the Campfire Audio Andromeda -- a much more neutral and clear transducer even which made the 846 sound rather tubby and bloated. @shkong78 you might want to also investigate the CA Comet or Io -- similar prices to others you are looking at but great sound and US build quality https://campfireaudio.com/shop/io/ |
