It sounds a lot better than Bluetooth earbuds, but it can be a little less convenient. But I’ve been using them regularly for almost a year, and I’ve had no issues with them so far. Read more

Sonido cálido, equilibrado en todos los rangos, claro, bien separado y detallado. La verdad es que para su precio es impresionante la calidad de sonido que brindan; por supuesto que requiere un buen dongle DAC para sacarles el máximo de provecho. Tengo buenos audífonos inear: Aful performer8, Letshouer S15 y Fiio FH7S; la verdad, los senhiser ie200 están a la altura o por encima inclusive de ellos en cuanto a calidad de audio. Tengo que comentar que fue necesario cambiarle los eartips por unos de goma para sacarles el mejor audio. Read more

My first reaction was that of disgust: the sound was thin and without any bass. After much fiddling with different eartips (ended up with Final Type E), and after experimenting with various EQ profiles from auto.eq, I finally managed to persuade some bass out of IE200. The overemphasized highs and mids now became an advantage because they provide clarity, spaciousness and presence for acoustical instruments. So the sound is good now, although it is still more“analytical” than joyful. I compared these to Audio-Technica TWX9, Cambridge Audio M100, PSB TWM and several wired models. My conclusion: -even very good (and expensive) wireless earbuds cannot provide the openness and clarity of their wired counterparts; in this respect even wired $15 Sony and $29 JBL sound better; -to take advantage of these benefits one has to listen in a quiet environment, because trains/airplanes/subways/streets have too much ambient noise to discern those fine details; -to insert/remove the IE200s is not quick, it is more of an elaborated ritual; for instance, at work (noisy machine shops) I wear noise-cancelling earbuds, but if I have to communicate with my colleagues, I simply take one bud out and then insert it back - all in one fluid motion; the IE200s won’t let me do this; -contrary to the Sennheiser’s claims, the IE200 are not easy to drive, the volume has to be at 80-95% - same as Audeze LCD-1 which admittedly require quite a bit of amplification; -these earbuds do not gloss over any deficiencies in recording/mastering and are very revealing: poorly mastered tracks will sound like garbage, but well-made ones will bring you joy and pleasure. Verdict: if you are interested in revealing “analytical” sound, they are very enjoyable. Read more

As someone who has always had a deeper appreciation for high quality audio but only just recently started getting into “audiophile” level stuff (which these aren’t, this is intro to audiophile), I can honestly say I’ve never owned a better, more comfortable set of ear buds or IEMs. I’ve had many of Apples offerings, Beats, SkullCandy, and KST to name a few. This blows all of them out of the water. First off the fit. They fit my ears so well I almost forget I’m wearing them. I’ve always found AirPods and AirPod Pros very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, but putting either set in after these is uncomfortable. They seal well in my ears and come with enough bud bits that they should fit most people very well. I also have not noticed what I call “ear creep,” where the buds back out of your ear over time. Every set of buds I’ve ever had back out of my ears over time, especially while eating or chewing gum, but these made it through a couple meals today with no noticeable ear creep. I keep trying to push them back in out of habit but find they’re still fully seated. I was not super impressed with the audio quality at first. They were a little tinny and had little low end. It was there, but hard to hear. Then I remembered the dual position ear tips and reseated them farther down the stem. That made a huge difference. The bass is there now and the balanced audio I was promised is there. The highs sing, the bass and sub bass are present without being overwhelming, and the mids are not harsh. I know these are geared more for average consumers and do not have a truly flat EQ, but to my ears after listening to my studio monitor over ears these are close. I wanted a good set of wired headphones to use with my old iPods as I didn’t have a wired set of buds. They had to be comfortable, sound good, and do a decent job blocking out outside noise. These check all the boxes. These Sennheisers are good enough that you will notice a difference in sound quality between different playback devices playing the same music. I can tell the difference between my iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPod Classic 6th Gen, and iPod classic 5th gen. The hype about the 5th gen’s sounding the best is real. There is a noticeable difference with these headphones. Going from these back to AirPod Pros is almost painful with the drop in high end frequencies and boost in low end. I typically do not listen to music with my AirPods though, just using them primarily for audiobooks and hands free texting and phone calls when out and about, which is fine. They are more convenient than these in that aspect, being wireless and having a microphone, but for a good sit and listen these Sennheisers are amazing. I’ve had these for a day so I cannot attest to the durability or quality issues other users have had, but if I have any issues I will update the review. Overall, I am impressed with these buds and look forward to many hours of listening enjoyment with them. As a musician I appreciate that they can pull double duty on stage as they are technically IEMs, so I can also replace my uncomfortable IEMs at the same time with these. Read more

O fone é sensacional, pelo preço no valor promocional é um custo benefício absurdo, som muito diferente do padrão do mercado, mas encantador e envolvente desde o primeiro momento. Os graves são muito dinâmicos e responsivos, estão no ponto certo, só aparecem nos momentos necessários, os médios são muito limpos e claros, sem serem frontais demais, nem recuados, e os agudos são os melhores que já ouvi, presença perfeita com muita articulação, trazendo muito detalhamento. O palco sonoro é muito amplo, tudo é muito detalhado, limpo e resoluto. Um excelente "all rounder" A acessorização deixa um pouco a desejar, o cabo original é fraco, e a case não está a altura da glória do fone. As eartips são boas, e o sistema de mudar a posição para alterar o tuning é muito criativo. Gostei muito dele com as "Dunu SS" também. O fit é excelente, compacto e discreto, cabe muito bem na orelha. Recomendo altamente que tenha uma boa fonte para tocá-lo, pois ele é bem exigente, e revela suas tecnicalidades quando bem amplificado. Read more

A great product in terms of sound and comfort. For reference I own the Blon BL03 and the Moondrop Arias, as well as the Airpods pro (gen 1). I also have the HD6xx as an over ear. These are the most comfortable IEM i’ve worn, much more than the Aria. The sound is richer and more detailed than the aria, with more treble and better subbass extension. However it needs to be modded (either with aftermarket tips like the JVC spiral dots++ or with tape around the nozzle to seal the bass hole, which is what i recommend). The cable should also be replaced since the one that comes with it sucks a lot. I bought the tripowin zonie cable and modded that (cut the plastic rings), and it fits fine on the IEM. After these mods, the iem is stellar for the price and you cannot beat it if you need something comfortable (and bigger iems like the moondrop blessing or aria don’t fit well). I’m giving it 5 stars after the mods. It would be a 3 without. Don’t let that deter you, I would 100% mod it to get the full potential. Read more
