Know before you buy
The SE846 Gen 2 comes with four interchangeable nozzle inserts that physically alter the frequency response. By swapping these, you can shift the sound profile between extended, balanced, warm, or bright to better suit your personal listening preference or specific music genres.
Yes, these are designed for professional use. The ergonomic over-ear fit provides a secure, low-profile seal that stays in place during movement, and the sound isolation technology effectively blocks out ambient stage noise.
Yes, the earphones feature a detachable cable system using standard MMCX connectors. This makes it easy to replace the cable if it wears out or to upgrade to a wireless Bluetooth adapter or a balanced cable.
Unlike active noise cancellation that uses electronics to counter sound, these use physical Sound Isolating technology to block up to 37 dB of ambient noise. This passive approach provides a consistent, natural-sounding seal without the need for batteries or digital processing.
While these earphones are efficient enough to be driven by most smartphones or laptops, they are Hi-Res Audio certified. Using a high-quality external DAC or headphone amplifier will help you extract the full detail and depth from the four-driver system.
The integrated low-pass filter acts as a physical subwoofer, allowing the drivers to deliver deep, impactful bass without muddying the midrange or high frequencies. This ensures you get powerful low-end performance while maintaining the clarity of vocals and instruments.
