Sennheiser IE 200 Wired Audiophile Stereo Earphones - Corded In-Ear Buds with High Fidelity Superior Clear Sound, True-to-Life Voicing and an Impactful Bass - Black

Product Information

The IE200 doesn’t quite measure up to the IE900 in this regard - it lacks some intensity at 5kHz to the initial crack of snares, and it’s a little more splashy - but it comes pretty close for being a fraction of the cost. Nevertheless, being an audiophile, I am more interested in IEMs and headphones, thus I will be examining their newest entry-level IEM, the IE200. The bathtub sound audiophiles have no patience for is completely eliminated with these exquisitely neutral in-ears When it comes to bass, preferences vary a lot, hence the design allows switching between powerful bass and open, analytical tuning.

Even though I'm a freelancer now, PCMag has been my home for well over a decade, and audio gear reviews are still my primary focus.Although they sound great, I find that I don't grab them whenever I need to take some headphones with me. The low impedance of these in-ear headphones means they are optimised for use with mobile audio sources such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and laptops, and can be easily connected in a space-saving manner thanks to their angled jack plug.

Sennheiser’s own IE900 is possibly one of the best examples of a “controlled” treble response wherein it makes use of resonance chambers in the shell to tastefully fine-tune the mid-treble while maintaining extension. I've been a long time iFi fan boy and I honestly did not miss the Burr Browns in this tiny little device. If you’d like to compare the IE200 to the hundreds of other IEMs that I have measured, please see here.In tuning IE 200, the Sennheiser engineers pulled out all the stops to achieve a diffuse-field equalized response that comes exceptionally close to the ideal. The IE200 fundamentally alters the IEM game, causing particular disruption in the Chi-Fi IEM market, to sum up this review. I recently bought the Aria SE and I wanna know which setting provides the intended/better tuning/response!
