Sennheiser IE 200, Wired, Medium

Excellent sound...not very crisp but very well balanced..... Been using it with ifi go link ...

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.

I ordered the same 3 times and after 2 months of use it stops working!

Good sounds

Los audífonos de buena calidad aunque las partes de plástico parecen chinosos, malo el cable. Sin embargo se lo cambié por uno de mejor calidad con entrada 4,4 y todo mejoró. En cuanto a la calidad de audio, si lo agregan a un buen dac amp, chulada!!!

ثاني منتج اخذه من سنهايزر ما شاء الله جودة بالصوت تصميم رائع الي تتميز به السماعة خفه وزنها السلبية الوحيدة ان ال Bass ليس بهذيك القوة ولاكن شي منطقي لان نفس monitors صغير بشكل عام السماعة يتعطيك تجربة عامة متوازنة جدا اعتبرها واحد من الخيارات الي ناوي يستخدم IEM لاول مره

超讚

La qualité audio des écouteurs est vraiment très impressionnante. Même sans réducteur de bruit actif, les écouteurs insonorise bien de l’environnement bruyant entourant (plusieurs embouts a dispo pour les différentes oreilles) La qualité des basses est vraiment à souligner ainsi que la précision des aigus. Sennheiser tient vraiment la promesse d’un son d’exception. Ces écouteurs donnent vraiment raison d’écouter la musique sans compression.

Absolutely phenomenal IEMs for the price. - The reason why you see such mixed reviews is often due to a lack of people understanding how to use these to their full potential. These IEMs are a testament to why technicalities can sometimes be even more important than tonality. In a chi-fi era defined by iems hyper focused on meta (JM-1) tuning, these stand as a reminder that there is more to a good pair of IEMs than just a frequency responce graph. Oh and I completely forgot to mention how these are one of the most comfortable IEMs on the market! One thing you need to know is that these share the same TrueResponse transducers as the IE 600 and IE 900... Those are $700 and $2000 (CAD prices) IEMs. Take a moment to understand the significance of that fact. Sure the more expensive brothers have better tuning as a result of different case material and number of helmholtz resonator chambers (1 for IE 200, 2 for IE 600, 3 for IE 900). But with just $50 in post-purchase investment, you can turn these IE 200's sounding 95% the same as the IE 600 ($700). You would want to change the cables because the originals are genuinely atrocious (I recommend the Tripowin Amber), do the "tape mod" which basically means to plug up the nozzle dual tuning hole that leaks base with small strip of tape, and get a good quality pair of ear tips that make a good seal in your ears. (I recommend HiBy WG01 or Dunu S&S tips) So how do they sound? Think mostly neutral with a bit of a base shelf (heavily dependent on the seal you get) and with a pleasant airyness. They have a pretty decent soundstage, great instrument separation, and good imaging as well. What these excell at is giving you just the right amount of treble for that great clarity but not too much for it be shouty or undesirable. Everything is smooth yet oddly textured at the same time while maintaining the right amount of sparkle. They are relatively neutral with a slight emphasis on mid focused tuning. I'm not going to try to describe the sound much more because at the end of the day it is highly dependent on your own HRTF, PRTF, the ear tips you use, and the seal you are able to get and so much more. I personally noticed they do benefit from a DAC/AMP despite not requiring it (I used the Moondrop Dawn Pro 2) and I personally didn't have a great experience with foam tips despite their good seal because of how much of the treble rolls off. What I will say, is that this is not an IEM for which you would want to chase a JM-1 tuning with via EQ. There is a reason the Sennheiser audio engineers put that 200-800hz dip in there for example to pull the vocals back and give you that soundstage. The IEMs are very well tuned, you just have to make sure you do the supporting mods you need to make sure you take advantage of it. I would only recommend EQing of these to those who are well versed and experienced in setting up their own EQ profiles and not someone who would simply use an AutoEQ feature. This is one of the most competent IEMs on the market, but it requires an equally competent user to actually bring it to it's full potential. If you think you want to buy these and just use them as is, then don't, because there are much better plug and play IEMs you can buy that would sound better. These do not sound good straight out of the box, you will be disapointed if you do not know what you are buying. But once you do the mods, they will sound absolutely phenomenal. Buy these if you know what you are buying (basically a DIY IE 600), what to expect, and if you are going to upgrade them to have them reach their full potential. Basically, if you have open back headphones, know what an HD 600 is, use a DAC/AMP or even read this far tbh then these are for you. However If you use airpods and stream off spotify at medium quality for data savings then probably not the best buy.
