Shure SE846 Gen 2 Earphones: Everything You Need to Know 

Glad to hear you're still enjoying them!

Thanks for watching. Glad you’re enjoying your gen1.

You cannot change perfection.

We have no advanced knowledge of any sales, but we've seen discounts in the past on various Shure models on Black Friday.

Got mine 50% off at amazon in late 2020. It was an open box though. 🤷 Still impeccable after 2 years.

@@ecoustics someday. Not right now though, gotta save for school.

Have you tried the red filter?

There’s no difference between the gen 1 and the gen 2 except the red filter. If you liked the gen 1 with a certain filter, you can use that same filter with gen 2 to achieve the same sound.

but is sounds like the gen 2 is essentially the same plus a new "nozzle"?

@@pageegap1 yes, drivers and dimensions are the same. Red filter is new, which changes sound signature, along with new exterior colors.

I think you might want to reach out to some other brands

Stick with. I am, and I think they are bloody brilliant (I use the "warm", black filters.) There's no way I am gonna cough up £900 for such a minor upgrade, and I don't need another filter.

Yes, the red filter will work with 1st gen, but you can't buy it separately.

@@ecoustics thanks. Hopefully some day we'll be able to.

Yes

Very well said. I have the Gen 1. The Gen 2 just an extra filter and a colour change incorporating a viewing window. They should just sell the filter separately. The 846 is though, an unbelievable headphone. I also have the Beyerdynamic Amiron, over ears headphones. They said the best headphones, full stop. But lack bass. The 846, an all rounder.

@@atomabc thank you. Well, it just happened that few days ago I listed mine on eBay. It's just that I didint use them almost at all because I can't get used to the uncomfort of having them plugged in my ears... let me know if you are interested and I will give you a discount.

Without any tip in the earphone the sound would absolutely have no imaging to speak of

@@user-kw5wm3xn6h ok. thank you.

Tried this a few days ago and sounded weird.

@@FabioKasper ok. thank you.. since 535 dont have any i wondered.. thanks again

@@FabioKasper hola Fabio .. latino? sonaba extraño en que sentido? como extraño? podrias explicar un poco por favor? muchas gracias

Agree. Not sure why it can’t be sold separately.

Appreciate the feedback. Interesting to know the bright one works better for you on stage. Curious with what instrument (if any)?

Yes, that’s right. Red filter for sound and jade exterior color choice.

We’re sorry you didn’t find it informative.

@@ecoustics The information was spread very thin and was basically available for over 10 years already, since this is the same earphone that released over 10 years ago. I get that it's probably still a pretty good earphone, but we have stage monitors and audiophile iems with 12, or even 18 BAs in them now and they also come with customizable filters. The tech has evolved quite substantially at this point and I feel like the interviewers were not even trying to at least compare these to newer models of in ear phones to the se846, or to ask the shure guy about shures stance on the industry moving on from low count BA designs, or even into hybrid, tribrid, quadbrid designs, planar drivers, etc. What is Shures opinion of these developments in the market? Did they compare their earphone to these new models? Why did they decide not to develop new tech? Why did your review guy tell us that it's worth it to buy a new replacement filter for 900 dollars? And why won't they sell it on it's own? A company should be ready to answer these questions and you as a channel should be ready to ask them. This video is just a circle-jerk for a full price re-release of a very old product. It's not amazing anymore, that they fit 4 BAs into an iem. These earphones do not exist in a vacuum. I am not saying they are bad or good or anything like that, everyone has their own opinion, but you're not even trying to make shure define theirs. To the contrary, you reinforce it by ommiting the actual market development at that point in time. This is my problem with this video. It's very uninteresting to listen to, the points made could be summed up in a 3 minute trailer.
