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

Probably the most comfortable pair of in-ear headphones I've owned. The plastic design may seem like a downside, but it makes these so incredibly light that they're effortless to wear, fitting securely in my ear. Some people swear by alternative eartips, but the stock ones work just fine for my ears and I have plenty of deep bass. Sound feels very balanced, not getting 'boomy', but also somewhat fun and detailed sounding. Perhaps a tiny bit sharp on some music for my tastes, but that might be my own preference and it was something I got used to quickly. The stock cable is very noisy (i.e. you'll hear it move about), but bending to ear-hooks so that they make contact with your ear and zipping up the ferrule (plastic bead) up to your neck helps a lot, but I'm mostly using these indoors so the sound doesn't bother me much, the cable is super light though and switching to a different cable I immediately noticed that it was so much heavier and thus less comfortable, even if the stock one is prone to tangling and stiff enough to transfer a lot of vibration. So that's something that'll be up to personal preference and you may be fine with what comes with it (and if you do replace it, I'd advise picking up one that's as light as possible, since the ie200's lightness is one of it's greatest strengths when it comes to comfort). Overall I'm extremely happy with these. I struggle to get in-ear headphones to stay in my ears, but after maybe a week of adjusting I don't even notice I'm wearing them, and the sound quality is fantastic for the price point. I find myself barely wearing the full size over-ear headphones I wear anymore, because in most scenarios these sound as good or better. If the next version manages to include a softer cable (and ditches gimmicky low-bass eartip position that only really serves as a possible point of failure - though one that can be fixed with a tiny bit of tape, if you're not getting a good seal) it will be a pretty flawless product in my opinion.

So far, so good. 20 days in: I've had some time to listen to them, once they've been used for long enough, they become almost amazing. I'm actually pretty surprised. As of today, and listening to them for quite some time, the drivers have had time to play out for a while, they usually sound better after playing music in them for some time. I feel like the sound signature has improved, the drivers feel more natural and after trying different eartips, I think I have found the sweet spot neutral response that I like. Still punchy sub bass and mid bass, whilst it keeps the mids, upper mids & treble, relatively balanced. I am certainly hearing much more in my music. I am very impressed with these IEMs. Overall, the closer to neutral sound signature is by far my favourite. I also really love the eartips that they come with. My ears are usually irritated by memory foam, but I was going to try the foam ones for a brief period to see what happens. I have been using the memory foam on these IEMs for a day and I am really enjoying it at the moment with no irritation at all. Time will tell in the next few days what happens. I will just use the sillicone ones if they get irritated because they are still very very comfortable and the sound is still very good. So, Sillicone and Memory Foam eartips are just as good as each other. The noise isolation is perfect for my use case. I am literally just trying to isolate from the sound of my computer fans and these do a great job at isolating sounds such as this. I also went outside with these, and they are quite good at isolating wind sounds, but not so much vehicles going by, but I am not using these for commuting so doesn't bother me really. The sound signature is good for a wide range of music genres. I am generally using these for classical, jazz and other genres. These are by far my favorite sound signature, even with genres that are supposed to focus on bass, they are still great, fun and exciting. The bass is good, but not overpowering. I don't like overpowering bass, so these IEMs are perfect for me. The design is also amazing. They are nice and small, also fitting in my ears very well. I tried some bigger IEMs from other brands, I constantly found myself having to push them back into my ears an awful lot. I haven't had to do that once with these, they seem to fit very well. That makes me love them even more. The cable it comes with are nice for me. I run it down my back and under my shirt. The wire also has a memory plastic that goes over the ear, giving you the chance to position the over ear hook to your most comfortable position. Overall, very good product. I am very happy with the way it is designed, the sound of the product and how comfortable they are.

These things are tiny! Which means they're pretty comfortable. Comfortable enough to wear to bed and leave in overnight. Sound: very good! smooth, decent punch and slam in the bass/sub-bass. Not for massive bass-heads as i dont find the bass to be massively over-pronounced. Treble is well-controlled and doesn't offend my treble-sensitive ears. mids are present and well-presented. Overall the tuning is warm-neutral. Detail and separation are also good. The included cable works fine, but its horrendous. thin, tangles easily, extremely microphonic. Borderline un-useable. Dont even bother with it. Replaced with a linsoul cable and now all is well.

I was a bit disappointed with how these sounded when I got them. Very aggressive on treble and not much bass, so I was running a weird EQ to make them bearable. After a couple weeks I sat down and tried out all of the different earbuds. I discovered the foam ones sound a lot better than the plastic and I went for the largest size foam and they now sound amazing.

Excelente relación calidad precio. Muy buen sonido, no distorsionan nada, aíslan bastante de exterior, aunque no lleva reductor de ruidos. Los acabados muy buenos, son cómodos y parecen resistentes. Muy satisfecho con la compra.

Great entry level IEMs. The included foam tips are actually great and isolated external noise pretty good. I mostly listen to rock, metal, heavy metal, death metal, hard rock and such, and this earphones brings life to them. I previously owned a CX27s and the upgrade is really noticable. The guitar solos sound "crunchy" and textured. The kick drum sounds tight "thud", doesnt sound like flat "boom". Overall the the audio output quality is very good for the price. The wire quality could have been better, it has that "microphonic" character, where when the cables rub on your cloths, the sound travels to your ears.

OK I accept you wont get super hi-fi quality with this design but some of the reviews online over-egg it. In general it does the job, with a couple of exceptions - the over-ear bits are deliberately flexible, presumably for easy adjustment, but this also makes them difficult to fit in the first place, and I found they kept coming off, which defeats the purpose of this design. Also the markings for right and left are very difficult to spot, at least for an old geezer like me - even with glasses

Now this is my first real investment in I would say in an audio equipment rather than just another pair of earphones, until now I've been just using earphones worth 5kyen so this is a huge surprise. I was skeptical at first as to if there would really be difference in the sound of my records(take note I still listen through CD) but I truly underestimated this device. I will list down the differences that I've noticed so far after listening to a rock record(STP/Core) and a classical/pop record(Josh Groban/Closer). Treatment of Treble,Mid, and Bass The treble sounds clear, shimmering, and crisp. The vocals are expressive and full, I've noticed with earphones with inferior treble the vocals are lacking, the breathing cannot be heard, the small details like ps and the ss are unheard but with this set of buds they are all expressed in a balanced manner, not obnoxiously. The cymbals are amazing with these, instead of just hearing tss tss tss, you'll be hearing shimmers of gold, that's the only way I can describe it. The treble is also not painful to the ear although very present. The Mids are present again well balanced. This is very important for me because most of my records are in rock format or classical which use acoustic instruments and acoustic instruments live in the mids. The toms and bass drums have a thump and definition. The guitars are full, the distorted ones sound so clear as if the distortion from the amp is perculating. The bass is rich and fat but probably is the thing lacking in these buds. Make no mistake though the bass sounds great but you'll need to raise the volume to feel it in the kick and the bass guitar. Specifics on instruments The guitars click from the pick is extremely detailed, as if you could tell the material of the pick or the hardness thereof. Distortion is mentioned above. Because of the balancing of the EQ and probably the engineering of these buds you get a guitar tone that has body yet the top end is crisp. I'm yet to listen to EVH on these or LZ looking forward to it, also on how it handles older records. The drums are defined especially the cymbals. It is neurotic how the cymbals are so defined in these buds. you'll need to raise the volume to feel the kick but at normal level you'll be able to hear the shape of the sounds. The toms sound great. overall the drum kit can overwhelm you because of the sudden increase in definition of all the instruments, all well balanced, beautifully represented. would make any producer or artist happy Bass guitar sadly lives in the bass, honestly can't tell much about it except that it is clear when you hear it. The string section(Violins, Cellos, etc.) is breathtaking, it brought me to tears the first time I heard it on Jeff Buckley's Grace album. It is hard to explain what the buds do to each string but the warmth I guess that it gives to the orchestra is amazing. It can be overwhelming when the whole orchestra comes together, absolutely breathtaking. Overall a really great upgrade for me, can't wait to listen to my collection with these. Wearing the earphones is something getting used to(over the ear) but I find it is quite neat to look at. The cord is amazing because it doesn't tangle like others and love the look of it. Really advice music lovers who haven't gotten an audio equipment grade buds to get their hands on these, seriously you cannot put these buds in the category of earphones, they're more like inner ear monitors if anything. If you're serious about music you've got to get these pair especially they give it at half price at times.

Ich bin von guten Boxen auf High-End-Kopfhörer umgestiegen, allein um niemanden zu stören und da meine Frau meinen Musikgeschmack (Jazz, Klassik und Soundtracks) nicht immer zu würdigen weiß ;-). Für unterwegs bin ich mit einem iPhone ausgerüstet und habe bisher Sennheiser Bluetooth Kopfhörer verwendet. CX6.00 BT, nichts Besonderes, wenn auch der Sound nicht schlecht war. Natürlich nichts im Vergleich zu meinen Beyerdynamics 1990. Aber für draußen ok. Die kleinen bluetooth Kopfhörer, die im Ohr auch immer schlecht saßen, hab ich leider unterwegs verloren. Pech. Nun dachte ich, mal probieren, was an den sogenannten audiophilen In-Ear-Kopfhörern so dran ist. Bei so einer kleinen Kalotte, was soll da schon rauskommen. Aber hallo!!! Man sitzt beim Orchester mit auf der Bühne und spürt die Musiker schwitzen. WIE LIVE DABEI. Aber bei einem Smartphone hängt es sehr an der App, die man verwendet, wie ich vermute. Nachdem ich den Equalizer eingestellt hatte, kam die Offenbarung. Die IE200 sind mein Einstieg in dieser Klasse - und sie sind erste Klasse. Wie ein Jumbo (alte Ausdrucksweise für eine Boeing 747) gehen die ab. Breite Bühne, detaillierter Sound und die kleinen In Ear fühlen sich an wie meine großen Kopfhörer für zu Hause. Was kann man verbessern? Das Aufsetzen ist eine Pain... . Das Kabel könnte echt etwas mehr Komfort vertragen. Es rollt und verstrickt sich. Nicht so toll. Die Ear bids (die kleinen Silikon Polster) müssen im Ohr dicht abschließen, sonst kommt kein richtiger Sound zustande, und da muss man schon ein wenig justieren. INNOVATION und kein Preisaufschlag für vom Hörgeräteakustiker gebaute Stutzen zum Preis der Kopfhörer sind hier gefragt. Kann nicht so schwer sein, wir tragen ja auch Konfektionskleidung. Auch eine ordentliche Tasche die auch noch einen Adapter für das iPhone aufnimmt wäre dringend angeraten, die mitgelieferte ist echt etwas peinlich bei dem Preis. Und wenn schon so ein Kunstlederding, dann wenigstens groß genug. Es sind die kleinen Details, die so ein Produkt für immerhin fast 140.-€ dann auch braucht. Der Sound alleine ist toll, aber das mitgelieferte Zubehör entspricht nicht der Klasse und ist unpraktisch. Ich werde die Kopfhörer auf jeden Fall behalten. Das Hörerlebnis ist spitze. Gleichzeitig habe ich mir aber auch noch den 1more Triple Driver mit High Res Zertifizierung gekauft. Auch ein spitzen Kopfhörer mit sagenhaftem Zubehör. Den werd ich auch behalten und hier stimmt auch das Zubehörpaket. Einfach aufzusetzen, das Kabel ist toll ummantelt, die Ear-Bids sind in zig Größen dabei und eine chique Tasche ist auch dabei, für 50.-€ das Ganze. Klar, kommt aus China und ist dort eben billiger zu produzieren. Aber Sennheiser hat auch einen Ruf zu verlieren. Also dranbleiben und nicht aufgeben Sennheiser. Der IE200 ist ein klasse Kopfhörer. Ich höre mit Sennheiser seit meiner Teenagerzeit. Bitte weiterhin so tolle Produkte produzieren. Dieses Mal bleib ich noch bei Sennheiser.
