The mids are so thin... And the bass also like not there like that..

Lol sounds like we both heard the total opposite.
I found the mids thick and lush while bass is deep and extended. Very warm sound signature, but the treble especially drum cymbals sounded paper thin.

LOL... Can't be. Cause when I was in BSC I brought my V6 with me to test it out. the bass and the mids were so thin. BUt the IE800 ran rounds round the V6 in terms of clarity. And the V6 is already an IEM that does well in terms of clarity. But thats my experience, maybe I didn't get a good seal. ):

Lol I think you are right on the seal. Initially the ie800 sounded the same as how you described until I got a proper seal (had to stuff it in a weird angle).
I didn't really like the fitting... It is small enough to fit in everyone's ears, however since the housing is short the cable prevents from going in properly.

Might have a new HD800 available for sale in less than 2 weeks time for RM4,500.
Anyone interested? smile.gif

Sennheiser at Bangsar shopping complex.
The lows and mids are nice, but not a fan of the highs at the higher frequency part.

Thanks. Will go and have a look. What's the pricing there?

I guess that's why they come with five different-size ear adaptors. Cannot expect the test unit to use the bigger adaptor. They must be universally small enough able to fit everybody's ears.

I read a lot of people prefer the IE800 to the SE846 when comparing them both. Have you done same comparisons before you got your SE846?.

Yea... Thats why I bought the SE846. To me the sound of the SE846 is revolutionary compared to the IE800 which sounds to me to be very very normal. Kinda reminded me of the old UE700. No bass no mids just super clarity.

This excerpt from Earphone Solution kind of sums up what I feel about both the earphones, and no, I did not read this before I heard them both, I heard then both and then read this and coulnd't agree more with what has been said.

QUOTE
Sennheiser IE800 Earphones

Materials: Very nice materials are used. The earbud is built very well and feels like a quality product. The cables are some of the best I've ever seen or felt. Worth $1000? Not sure.

Aesthetics: Can't say the same for the looks of the thing. It looks very conventional and in the world of Shures and Westones, it looks like an up-scale earbuds. Other than that, it still looks like a cool earbud. It's just not impressive when you're comparing it to its competitors in the same price range.

Comfort: Very comfortable in that it's small and can easily be put on. However, nozzle size is absolutely necessary if you want to wear them effectively because they will NOT stay in your ear as securely as its competitors.

Noise cancellation: Great but not as good as the Shures and/or Westones.

Sound quality: Overall, this is a very safe sounding earphone. Nothing and I mean nothing stands out in the sound. Is that bad? Not necessarily. If you wanted a very well rounded and ultimately very secure sounding set of earphones, than these are for you. Besides being well-rounded, it's also bright and very clear. I would even argue that it's slightly clearer than the SE846's. But again, no range (low-mid-high) is particularly strong.

Shure SE846 Earphones

Materials: The weight gives these earphones a superior sense of quality. The materials feel very thick and very tightly bolted together. It truly feels like an expensive product.

Aesthetics: Being able to see the metal and inner workings of the earphones gives it a unique look and a better look at the quality of the materials being used within.

Comfort: To be honest, these are pretty big earphones. If you have smaller ears or ear openings, you will have difficulty putting these things on. In addition, the hard cables used to go over the ear are kind of fiddly and again, do not work all that well if you have smaller ears.

Noise cancellation: Better than the Sennheiser's. Very good. You'll probably never hear anyone or anything making a single noise.

Sound quality: I've touched on this before. The mid and low ranges are exceptional. The husky and very visceral sounding mid-range gives new life to vocals and string instruments while the low-range can deliver some surprisingly powerful bass and beats. It just barely lags behind the Sennheiser in clarity, but clarity is something you enjoy through acquired taste. Some feel like intense clarity becomes fatiguing after prolonged use. So the Shure may actually have the upper hand here.

Got it in the UK from Richer Sounds. Coming back to Malaysia in 4 more months though tongue.gif It is more expensive than RRP in Malaysia due to the VAT

LOL I think I am going to get bashed if I tell you what amp I am using with it but it sounds alright to me tongue.gif I am just paring it with Creative SoundBlaster Omni. It's a external sound card with mic built in so that I can use my headphones without clipping microphone (sick of the wires lol). It is driving both HD700 and Q701 alright as 40% is more than enough to make my deaf

It is definitely better than HD650, I dislike HD650 for its bass, then I bought Q701 and Q701 is too light on the bass for my liking. HD700 just hits the sweet spot. I also auditioned Beyerdynamic T90, it is far more revealing than HD700, but it is exhausting. I prefer HD700 for its comfort (hate circular ear cups) and also relaxing listening experience.

Actually I bought this headphone for gaming tongue.gif Well, mainly for gaming anyway.
