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.

Im a big fan of Sennheiser, having owned the Momentum TW 2 and 3, Momentum 4, HD599, and HD 660s. The Bluetooth headphones are very good, however my mind was blown when I started diving into the wired open back headphones. Listening on the 660s with an amp/DAC proved to be far superior in terms of the detail, clarity and my overall enjoyment of listening. Soon, I found it difficult to listen on my other Bluetooth devices. I started looking around for some “audiophile” in ears for on the go. I was on the fence a while but finally decided to pull the trigger on these entry level buds from Sennheiser. Boy am I glad I did. Right away I knew that these were exactly what I was looking for, and sound way better than I could have expected at $150. They sound just as good as my 660s (over ear, open back), and even better and more open due to the widest and deepest soundstage I’ve experienced. It absolutely blows my mind how immersive, clear, and spacious these sound. I consider the sound to be very neutral, the reason I love Sennheisers so much. They let you enjoy the natural sounds and details of the recording without muddying it up with added coloration. These provide that neutral Sennhesier sound with superb imaging. The bass is really enjoyable as well, moving quickly from note to note without any of that muddying bass bleed. Every song sounds better as I devoured song after song. I simply can’t believe the sound coming from these $150 buds. I’ve tried so many options that cost $4-500 more, and nothing has sounded better. It’s important for me to make it clear I am not a technical person or audiophile. I know what I like though and can tell the difference between good headphones and average or crappy ones. One of the reasons I was hesitant to buy these is I wasn’t sure if it was worth it. I didn’t want to spend up for the 600 or 900 (or even the 300), and didn’t think these could come close to what I was looking for. I cannot recommend trying these out enough, either for people like me or true audiophiles. I’m sure that the audiophiles out there will notice lacking details and other nuances undetectable to my ear, but for the majority of people these will be the best sounding earbuds you’ve ever listened to. Only drawback for me is the fit. You must experiment with the different ear tips, both silicone and memory foam included. Even then you might have to search after market options to find the best fit for you. I find the largest memory foams do the best at creating a good seal for me, but they have to be really jammed in there. I am still exploring other options, and taking them on and off is not as easy as popping in wireless buds. I suspect that some of the bad reviews on here are due to improper fits, which will dramatically alter the sound qualities. And don’t bother with the tuning option to have two positions for the buds, just push them all the way in and enjoy the refined bass. No brainer buy if you’re looking for the best sound quality at an absurdly low price. 10/10 for Sennheiser!

These are the entry level Sennheiser IEM’s. The sound quality is comparable to the Sennheiser IE 600, at a much lower price point. Without beating around the bush, the sound quality is very musical. They don’t excel in one area, but they have a quality that defies their humble statistics. The two position bass idea doesn’t work that great, as soon as you put them in, the tip just slides back covers the hole, defeating the purpose. .If you have big ears, they can get lost in there. so that could be an issue with them staying in place during exercise. There are plenty of aftermarket ear tips that can help with that. The cable as far as sound quality goes is good, but it’s very thin and easily tangled. Also, like other Sennheiser IEM’s, the MMCX connector is slightly different and does not work with most 3rd party cables. There’s a slightly raised collar on the IEM itself that interferes with a secure connection. Be forewarned to make sure any cable if you decide to upgrade with is compatible before purchase. I upgraded the cable for my IE 600’s, it cost double what the IE 200’s retail for.(Effect Audio). Based on my experience, long-term comfort is good, as long as you get a proper fit, I sleep with mine and I do not wake up with any pain. The shells are plastic, very light and don’t stick out very far. Bottom line, if you want a musically neutrally tuned IEM then these should be on your list for consideration. As they say, your mileage may vary. These are tuned more for an audiophile, if you want thunderous subbase, maybe the Fat Freak deuce HBB IEM’s or more in your wheelhouse, but they will cost $100 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.

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.

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.

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.

Partiamo dalle cose negative: queste iem sono molto sensibili alla scelta del gommino e quelli in dotazione rischiano di non adattarsi a molti utenti. Ho notato che il suono cambia davvero radicalmente qualora non si abbia un'isolamento davvero perfetto. Qualità costruttiva: la scocca delle cuffie è abbastanza scadente, il cavo e orripilante (l'anello fermacavi fatto con un pezzettino di tubo trasparente è una presa in giro) ed è molto microfonico, inoltre la scelta scellerata di avere un connettore mmcx più profondo rispetto allo standard rende molto più complicato trovare un cavo alternativo od un'opzione bilanciata. La pochette in cui riporre le IEM è uno scherzo. Vediamo allora perchè ho dato 4 stelle: una volta trovati i tips corretti, sono in grado di riprodurre con un timbro molto naturale, delicato, maturo, rilassante, eppure non scevro di emozioni. Bassi, medi e alti sono semplicemente "giusti", senza eccessi e disequilibri. Il palco scenico sufficiente ampio e arioso. Sono leggerissime e comode ed una volta indossate le si dimenticano.
