Well I have been living in Hong Kong for the past seven years and they have a multitude of stereo shops with all the custom and universal earphones to demo. I can sit for hours and try each one. Next time I will go and try some Ultimate Ears and see how they sound I have only heard and purchased the 5 EB and the Tri Fi 10 which were nice some six years ago. Wonder how this will sound.

to my ear se846 is the one of the best matches  with olive & welti flat targets in iem category.

I'm the one who was anti shure iem sound but 846 is bit different.

I personally like more treble extension, but still I really like it somehow.

it's not the iem that you will like as soon as you hear. you will find it's goods as you spent more time with it.

it is not analytical sounding iem like uerm, er4s hd800, but it is not to laid back sounding iem likes westone.

While it still captures all the details that need to be there, it makes all sound very smooth and pleasant.

 

Doh!!! it's not Mahler it's from Maazel's Ring without Words:

Good detective work! 

Not really i have to thank reddit and google for that.  Plus it's a better gif as the Mahler 6 hammers anyways, shit I shouldn't have said anything!!  That bassoonist's expressions are really the best part.
