Shure SE846 en preorder

[Jaxxon]

Me acaba de llegar este email de earphone solutions

10 stainless steel plates – laser cut to new tolerance capabilities... Laser welded together.
The LF driver output travels through over 4 inches of high inertance acoustic path length, allowing LF roll off to begin at about 75Hz without introducing...

"Ground breaking low pass filter for a true subwoofer experience"
This is the only earphone that uses this technology, and the only earphone capable of this LF performance.

Here you can see a bigger image of the SE 846 showing the details inside: low pass filter, laser etched balanced armature drivers, etc.

After waiting for 3 long years, finally something new and this time around, super-exciting. Shure just turned 88 years old on April 25, 2013. And what better way to celebrate 88 years of legendary performance than launching their new flagship in-ear headphones? The new Shure SE846 will feature 4 balanced drivers - 2 low freq, 1 mid freq, and 1 high freq drivers on a 3-way crossover configuration.


The Shure SE846 will go on sale for $999.99 Just a cent short from a thousand bucks. But if you are like me and have the disposable income, this new experience is a must have. Shipments will start in June. Earphone Solutions is taking preorders now.

I will come back to this page to talk more about the technology behind the SE846 and the details on the manufacturing process which are quite intriguing. As soon as we know more. Official announcement was made in Asia (huge market for Shure) on May 9, 2013.

In the meantime I can advance to you that Shure is extending the high-end clarity even more plus increasing bass performance as well.

Features of the SE846 will include:

    Shure SE846 with the adjusting tool
    Quad Hi-Definition Balanced MicroDrivers for extended high-end crystal sound.
    A revolutionary low-pass filter that will act like a subwoofer. So much so that Shure has a pending patent on this new design.
    You will now be able to adjust between 3 sound signatures via user serviceable nozzle - user changeable for different sound signatures. Yes! How cool is that? You can choose between warm sound, balanced sound or bright sound. If you are like me, I'll be bouncing between warm and balanced.Shure SE 846 headphone earpieces
    Shure states these will isolate up to 37 decibels of ambient noise. I know they have a study out that shows you can reach up to 44 dB with the Shure eartips depending on the frequency range but I understand Shure prefers to under promisse and over-deliver. That's how they roll. Now compare this sound isolation to Bose's mere 26 dB "cancellation? Cancellation means babies will continue to cry on airplanes and you will hear all of it. With Shure's passive noise isolation you can say goodbye to all that stressing noise in the cabin. The cables are removable and feature Shure's Wireform Fit which increases secure fit with comfort.
    The housing is a crystal clear transparent earpiece that lets you see the laser-etched components inside and admire in awe Shure's precision engineering.
    The Dual LF drivers produce deep accurate bass, and when combined with Shure's patented acoustic filter, these drivers are able to roll off at about 90Hz. The SE846 the first earphone in the market to employ the performance of a true subwoofer.
    The MF driver is tailored to blend well with the LF and HF drivers, providing a smooth, clean presence while avoiding intermodulation distortion in the mid frequencies. The HF driver is customized for extra high end extension and low distortion.
    Nozzle Insert: Once the HF and MF driver outputs combine, they are routed to the ear through the nozzle insert, which contains acoustic filtering to shape the high-mid frequencies.
    Note: by changing the nozzle insert to one with a different filter, the alternate sound signature is achieved.
    The Low frequencies are routed around the nozzle insert, keeping the low frequencies from blending with the high-mid frequencies. This helps to minimize cancellation and maintain clarity throughout the frequency spectrum.
    User can remove the nozzle to clean, or replace nozzle insert to change the sound signature. The alternate nozzle inserts create a shift of about 2-5dB in the 1kHz-8kHz range. This allows the user to chose their preference in the detail/clarity range.

No creo que valgan lo que cuestan. A las grandes marcas se le ha ido de las manos los precios que ponen y no se dan cuenta de que cada vez hay mas marcas que dan calidad y precio, cualquier dia todo seran lagrimas cuando no vendan un puñetero auricular.

Si elevan tanto el precio es para mantener el coste del resto del catálogo. Si lanzaran el auricular por una cantidad de unos... pongamos 400-500 euros se verían obligados a bajar el precio del resto de sus productos, y sabiendo que van a vender menos en esta gama que en las anteriores, prefieren mantener esos valores.

stagediver 3, 400 euros en thomann(parece que soy un infiltrado de la tienda).

Parece que siguen con el mismo diseño... despues de probar unos 215, por muy bien que puedan sonar, con ese cable no lo cambiaría por los Westone.

Para mi, mucho se tendrá que avanzar en diseño-sonido-comodidad para desbancar a los Westone, si mi último auricular fueran unos UM3x me parecería bien  :mrgreen:

[rafaunivega]

Si nadie lo comprara a 1000 dolares bajarian el precio.
Yo tengo claro que mi limite esta en los 250 - 300 euros    ;D

esto dicen de los shure uno que los ha probado: I got the rundown of the system today. It is perhaps the most planned, designed, researched IEM today. The acoustics filtration system on this puppy alone, boggles the mind. The price is high, but the system itself isn't just another 'not a custom' universal earphone. It really is a new way of thinking/designing an earphone - of any sort.

Si es bonito eso de que es un diseño inovador,  pero al final lo que cuenta es el sonido y si uno de 300 ofrece algo similar este sera al final un capricho para el que se lo pueda permitir

[Kurdt-bada]

y con los upgrades que hay en cables por 100 euretes más puedes tener algo casi tan bueno

[kanuka]

por ese precio se puede comprar CIEM y de los buenos!
