You do not need to seal the ends of glue lined heatshrinks as they contain hot glue on the inside. The glue itself will do the sealing.

Also your cable is litz (enamel coated wires), hence, it is very resistant to oxidation.

Noted, thanks for the info!

Hi
Im new to iem
I just tried my friends 846 and i love the sound from it
Bass particularly is punchy but not boomy
The mid is quite thick as i like it
The only complaint i have is the treeble a little bit lacking for my preference.

but the main thing is that i never considered an iem because i never feel comfortable with those rubber/silicone/foam tips sticking inside my ear
I’m very prone to stereophonic.

anyway im really interested to get an iem
My budget is around $1000

like i told you i like the sound signature of the 846
But i welcome a bit more detail treeble.

i think i’m gonna get a custom iem
To eliminate the “stuffy” ear feeling and stereophonic.

can anyone suggest which custom iem that has similar signature as the 846 ? Especially in the low and mid ?

thank you so much

There is 3 filters that comes with the shure se846.
Blue for treble
White for neutral
Black for bass.

U shld probably test out with the blue filter if u want better treble/detail
Ur friend one probably has the black filter in it.

Hi guys! Would need your humble opinion and advice. I'm currently using Shure SE535 and thinking of venturing into CIEM. Did a bit of research and shortlisted three brands, Fearless Audio, ThieAudio Monarch and QCD. Budget of around 1k. Read through and I believe there are a few retailers like Music Sanctuary, AV-One, Treoo.com etc. Would like your opinion on which brand/model would you recommend? I'm just planning to connect the CIEM to my iphone atm. Not planning to get a DAC at this stage yet.

I think read up on your shortlisted iem but take it with a grain of salt.

Go to the shop and try it out. Try already still go try again

Especially ciem make liao don't like, have to take major price cut to sell or stuck with it for eternity.
