Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
Thanks guys. It's purchased from Amazon, so I think I should be able to request an exchange, but just wanted to confirm it was in fact a defect first. In regards to the set-up, it's the same as what I had with my SE846, so I don't think the issue is there. And I'm using Comply foam tips- jay19

Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
Hi everyone, long time lurker here on Head-fi, but was hoping to get your input/advice. I just picked up a pair of KSE1200 this week, upgrading from the SE846, and previously had the SE535 before that (and SE530, SE210, e2C before that). Instantly, I was amazed by the level of detail and...- jay19

Introducing the T10i, an all new IEM from RHA
Just picked these up from the Apple Store today (marketing got to me with all the different filters and such in a $200 IEM) without reading any reviews. First impression with Treble Filter was wow.... everything sounds so muffled and way too much bass. Will be returning these... Tested...- jay19

Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
Just removed the memory wire successfully, thanks for your help :). Everything went smoothly (it was pulling the metal wire out with pliers that scared me the most, but having seen that you've done it gave me the confidence to finally go for it). Lol, my last set, my stock 535LTD cable went...- jay19

Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
I am a huge fan of the tempered glass screens too (used it on my old iPhone 5), but yes, the curved glass issue bugs the crap out of me. Lol... actually I have ordered 5 different screen protectors so far including the Zagg glass one (you can call me a bit of a perfectionist). So far, the best...- jay19

Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
Completely agree. I was about 99% sure I wanted a 6, and after I got to finally hold a plus in my hand it confirmed it for me. I love the higher resolution screen on the plus, but I can't see myself using it as it'll barely fit in my pocket. I got ghost armour full body shield on my iPhone 6 and...- jay19

Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
I ended up getting the Gold iPhone 6, 128GB (to fit all my Lossless Audio!). What about you? Wow! you were 4th in line? crazy! The store I worked at, my first customer was in line since Wednesday afternoon, and we finally got to those who lined up since 5am at around 3 or 4pm. But I know the the...- jay19

Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
Finally received my 846's today! My order kept getting delayed but it was definitely worth the wait. Only been listening to the white filters for about 5 minutes but I think I already prefer them over the stock, which surprised me. Perhaps I was used to my old SE535LTD sound signature with...- jay19

Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
Thanks for all the impressions guys. Its sure given me lots to think about and I will definitely spend some time swapping out filters. If I decide to go ahead with the filter mods, is it reversible? Or would I need to purchase a new filter from Shure if for any reason I'd want to go back to...- jay19

Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
Thanks for the explanation! Hmm... thats quite interesting given all I've read about how much filters can change the sound signature (ie. Shure SE535-J same as regular 535 but with a diff filter). If you don't mind me asking, how would you say the black mods sound as compared to the stock...- jay19

Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
I can't wait to receive mine and experience it for myself! If I understand correctly how SomeGuyDude explained the sound/presence of the bass I think I will really enjoy the sound. Probably looking at 2 weeks though since their on backorder. Currently using my TF10 which surprisingly sounds...- jay19
