Shure SE846 In Ear Monitor (IEM) Headphones

There is a significant challenge when engineering in ear monitor headphones like the Shure SE846. That challenge is how you minify all of the components needed for truly exceptional sound. Well like the very best watch builders Shure have mastered the art of pairing tiny size with precision design to produce a truly breathtaking experience!

We're talking 5 star review from What Hifi sort of breathtaking!

As you know Shure have serious heritage when it comes to universal fit in ear monitoring so they know exactly what it takes to produce a clear, natural sound that surpasses the detail and clarity of any pair of studio speakers, and that's an impressive feat when you think about the size of the enclosure they're working with.

So how did they manage to conquer the world of high end IEMs with the SE846?

It centers around what Shure call 'True Subwoofer' technology, which is exactly what it sounds like: a mini high quality subwoofer in your ear!

Extending right down to 15Hz, the clarity and power of that low end is the real secret to producing a natural sound that is as organic as just listening in the room or on the stage.

And that's critical because the number one problem with in ear monitoring is the moment on stage when you pull one side out to get a more natural sound, at which point the benefits of using IEM in the first place quickly go out the window! With the Shure SE846 the sound is so natural and organic and yet at the same time so rich and powerful you won't want to ever take them out! (by the way if you're struggling with the aforementioned problem and are running your IEM in mono try running them in stereo and pan things to where they are on stage, it will change your world!)
