Abstract: This year, I was super excited to try AKG's new flagship earphone model, the AKG N5005. mm dynamic. After chatting with a fellow reviewer, Garrett, about it I became curious. They are about the same price as the Shure SE846 and I wondered how the two mig...
Abstract: With the latest release of Beyerdynamic Xelento Remote, we've been asked about how the high-res Tesla driven earbud fares to its competitor quad-driven competitor Shure. Here it all is in our Beyerdynamic Xelento vs Shure SE846 Review. Xelento is delivere...
Abstract: The Shure SE846 is a high-end in-ear monitor that has a fantastic sound - and a price to match. At $999, it certainly isn't going to be for everyone. But if you're the type of person who wants to have the best earphones on the block, this one may be for...
