Question 1

are these your best in ear headphones you can buy?

Accepted Answer

They are the best IEM I currently own... Whether they are the best I can buy, please refer below: In the current market, the following are the other UIEMs I researched on:1. AKG K30032. Sennheiser ie8003. FitEar ToGo334Each of the above mentioned have their own sound signature, as well as, respective pros and cons. But, I chose the SE846 for the following reasons:1. It has removable cables (K3003 cables are not removable and the ie800 are partially removable only from middle section). It is important to me, knowing that, cables are usually the first thing that wears out in earphones, and, because I am quite picky about the comfort around my ears;2. You are able to slightly adjust the sound signature through the replaceable noozles (this was a big factor to me as well, since I live in a country where I cannot test either one of the above mentioned, so, to be able to adjust the sound signature is very much like a risk management :-P...);3. Heard great things about FitEar ToGo 334, but, not very easy to find them. Having said the above, there is another category of IEMs i.e. custom in ear monitors (CIEMs), there are good brands such as JH Audio, 1964 Ears, Ultimate Ears in this category. Unfortunately, I live in a country whereby it is too troublesome to get custom fitted IEMs; however, if you live in a country where the afore mentioned brands have their representative stores/dealers, please go and check out. By the way, JH Audio has recently launched their new flagship JH Roxanne. Based on the initial feedbacks, it seems that, they sound awesome.Hope the above mentioned, answers your questionCheers        Simon T.

Question 2

does it sound better than Shure SE535, how much better.

Accepted Answer

Erik, I truly believe the the 846's are worth the investment.  I've gone through 6 different pairs, one that was more expensive than the 846's, and have yet to find better sound. Fantastic bass, which you can tune to your individual taste, mid-range is clean and clear, highs are crisp without being brittle.

Question 3

where are the black version of these models?

Accepted Answer

I contacted Shure about this and they told me the black color is not available to the US. It is exclusive to Europe and Asia only (SE846-K-EFS for Europe, SE846-K-A for Asia).

Question 4

Are these earphones made of 21k gold? Also, does it carry lifetime warranty?

Accepted Answer

I would say based on the incredible sound they are made of 24k gold.They really are nice.No lifetime warranty here.If you can come up with the $ they really are worth it.It took me 6 months to push the buy button
