are these your best in ear headphones you can buy?

These are one of the best, but not the ultimate best. The problem is "best" is partially subjective. As for the other part, Custom IEMs take the spot for the best you can purchase. As for universals, like these SE846s, they are quite highly regarded in the community.Personally, I like my Westone UM Pro 50s better but at this price point they are extremely at what they do.

It's almost like asking "are these the best shoes you can buy"? The answer depends on you and your intended purpose. Most headphones at this price point (and higher) are going to sound pretty good.

Yeah they totally are, the music sounds loud and very clear. This headphones are the best you can buy.

also consider tralucent 1+2 and tralucent Ref.1. I have had the 1+2 (with the gold cable) and must say, they where a bit more "airy" sounding, more dinamic, clear, at least so much details. The bass was perhaps better controlled. A pitty they broke twice. I'still waiting for a replacement.... Overal the listening experience with the 1+2 was overwhelmig.The Shure SE846 are very solid performer and listening with them is also addicting. The tralucent ref. 1 is the "upgrade" of the 1+2. There ist also a "uber-cable" (solid core) for the 1+2 and Ref. 1 (costs over 1000$). With this cable both would sound better... also consider tralucent 1+2 and tralucent Ref.1.

One of the best certainly, but Grado is also to be considered especially when you take the price into consideration

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 K3003 2. Sennheiser ie800 3. FitEar ToGo334 Each 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 question Cheers Simon T.

Probably Ultimate Ears Personal Reference Monitors are better but they are twice the price .. :)

Best is admittedly very subjective. These are very, very good headphones. They're the best I have heard in many years. I really like the balance and nuance of the sound and frequently hear new bits in music I've listened to for years. Obviously, the price means these are an investment and there are other good headphones; point is the differences at the high end are subtle. My best testimonial, I guess, is that I would buy another pair of 846's. Hope that helps.

If all you want is the highest quality regardless of price, Bose is usually the way to go. That said, these are very good in their own right and when you factor in the price difference you'll probably soon not really notice the difference unless you are constantly switching between the two. I bought these as a gift for my father who had these second to the Bose on his wish list due to the spec sheet (better high freq. suppression in Bose) - until I pointed out to him that according to his doctor's hearing tests for the past decade neither he nor his hearing aid are able to hear/replicate those frequencies - so the quality difference for him really is NOT noticeable. I have never used Beats nor know any who has, but reviews still rate the Bose higher - and for the money that the Beats cost - I'd probably stick with the Bose.

These aren't that way. You're right most (beats or whatever) just have a ton of low quality bass. These are a good all around headphone. ++ to RHA

I would recommend that you do. I bought and returned these headphones because even though the sound quality was excellent, the quality of the build and some of the included accessories gave me doubts about the durability.

the headphones are pretty ok. I like them. But if you want superior sound quality, you probably should buy a good pair seperately

I have tried many headphones in the last 20 years. (both in-ear and ones that lay over the ears. These are as comfortable in-ear headphones as I have tried. I do suggest you play with the sizes they send you to make sure you find the right fit.
1999931
they will do fine but honestly i would buy almost any other head phone in the world then these. the sound quality is not worth the price the apple ones which actually fit in your ear (both their high end one and their $40 option is a better buy)

I haven`t but, these are the best headphones I ever used. Try them with my TAB, great sound(s) ONLY gives you the sound that IS recorded from the Source - (ONLY) No adds filters etc. Takes sometime to break in, must be place on the ears so that the sound is correct to your hearing...move them around; will hear highs,lows and mids only if They record with the right process. Will buy them again.

You wont regret it they are great i've had mine for about six months now and i hevily use them they are amazing the sound quality is great with any genre of music if there is a kohls near you you could possibly still see them on display try them there. Price is up to you where to buy tho i tried mine at kohls and bought them online.

Yes ! Trust me they are 100% worth it great bass and overall great sound quality !!!! Love them

You definitely can and let me tell you something this are the best headphones I have ever used for this price period! I have tried several and these are bar none the best! I use them for everything even as monitors! You see I am in a band and when they speak of the wireless monitor its just so a musician can hear the mix. It's transmitted from the soundboard to a receiver wirelessly. It's pretty cool actually. So what are you waiting for BUY THESE!!

It depends what you are looking for in a headphone. I can tell you that if you want portability, build quality, relatively balanced sound signature, and great sound quality (compared to its class), then you will likely be very happy with these. However, if you want something with a good soundstage and clarity, you should probably look at open-back headphones from Grado or Sennheiser.

The sound out of these headphones is great. You can hear a good bass. The question here now is, "will I buy this headphones again? Yes, I will buy them.

No, I'm afraid they don't. And while Kennet may have found the quality poor, they're just fine for me for everyday use -- in fact, I'm using them right now. If you're not an audiophile, I'm sure they'll be fine for you. Although, of course, you get what you pay for -- don't expect them to be as good as a pair of $100 earbuds.

I would say that there is a considerable sound leakage as these are "on the ear" headphones. If you are worried about sound leakage you should consider "over the ear" headphones preferably with noise cancellation features.

Of course you can. They come with standard mobile audio connecters. Same size as your ordinary earphone.

I know they I are the most comfortable and best sounding headphones i've ever ownd..The built in mic is a real plus. However I use them with a G s3. My friend has a nexus and they work well on his phone.
