Personally, I owned IE 900 for my regular music sessions.IE 200 is the perfect gem IEM for the price bracket of 150$ and even more in my viewpoint let's discuss it.Comfort: IE 200 comfort level is the same as all IE Series high end of 300,600 & 900. Thanks to the R&D Team of Sennheiser for making the IE series more comfortable than ever given by other IEMs.Accessories Quality: The packing was fantastic as all IE Series have and felt WoW! after seeing upgradeable cable with tangle free better than all cables of IE Series. There were all forms of ear tips with great quality as the usual stuff.The most upgrade thing found in the overall box is the Cable wire. Top-notch quality for the given price bracket.The most impressive part of IE 200 is the separation of left and right channels. Any track you play is going to divide the instrumental separation on top-notch. Never listened to any IEMs in this price bracket that had that level of separation.The sound stage: was enough for this IE 200 to drive that enjoyable wide sound keeping the price in mind. All IE series Vocals will be perfect and the same IE 200 also had the same in delivering.BASS: Fantastic! Mindblowing! Extraordinary Dont know what word needs to use. It's pure, Instant, and, loveable. Really can't express it in words but truly love the bass in IE 200. Become a fan of this bass.Treble: As I know many IEMs will have issues with treble but Sennheiser has done a great job here too. It's on the spot not going up and down but perfect.Conclusion: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Blindly open your wallet for IE 200 this is not going to make your expectations down. it's full meals you have everything to taste. It's very hard for any company to deliver everything in one IEM for a small price. Kudos to Sennheiser and the team for coming up with IE 200 Series.It's actually a risk for any company to launch an IEM to have all flavors at one price because other line series will get affected but here it was very clear Senhisher wants to deliver top-graded sound for all consumers to enjoy Audiophile sound at a small cost.They achieved what they expected their consumers to feel on the sound side and quality side.Comparison with IE 200 VS IE 600:IE 200 is perfect but when you compare it with IE 600 there will be obvious little changes the price of both IEMs needs to keep in mind.Vocals are a little backward compared with IE 600.Treble is fantastic at IE 200 compare with IE 600.Bass is awesome at IE 200 compared with IE 600. The soundstage is better in IE 600 than in IE 200.Separation part little high at IE 600 but mostly you won't get feel much difference. Until you feel like comparing.My personal recommendation is to pick IE 200 and if any thoughts to upgrade in the IE series in near future directly jump for IE 900 series. Then only you feel like perfect upgraded sound in all aspects too.

Awesome, I mean really awesome earphone.

What to say about this earphone I think it is one of the highly recommended earphones for its price and performance. Soundstage is best I have heard.Bass and Treble are at par excellence while listening to music.Comparison with IE300 or IE600 is not fair as these tuned differently so my take is that IE200 is worth purchase if any want to put it on.Conclusion: My writing above is based on after eartips I changed with AZLA black Large according to my fit. But what I found with original tips one has to fight to get a proper fit. Not so good with original eartips. But it does not mean that IE200 is bad, it is worth as above said. Try aftermarket eartips and also try IE200 with balanced output with adapters like 4.4 mm to 3.5 mm available in The Audio Store, one ... MoreWhat to say about this earphone I think it is one of the highly recommended earphones for its price and performance.

Gateway Drug to Audiophile Tuning from the house of Sennheiser

The new toy is in the house. Sennheiser IE200. Also, the iFi Go Link, but more on that later.Thanks to The Audio Store for bringing these offerings and the super fast shipping.This is a fantastic little device that Sennheiser has created that undercuts many of the ChiFi offerings from reputed brands like Moondrop, Tanchjim and Ikko.The intent is clear, giving a taste of the 'audiophile' tuning at an affordable price.It sounds very 'correct'. It is not a traditional V-shaped tuning, at least to my ears. However, it does provide enough fun to the listener in terms of sufficient bass presence and shimmer at the top end.As seen in the pictures, I'm using the stock cable, which are not the best in the market but are not too shabby, I don't intend to change them. ... MoreThe new toy is in the house.

However, it does provide enough fun to the listener in terms of sufficient bass presence and shimmer at the top end.As seen in the pictures, I'm using the stock cable, which are not the best in the market but are not too shabby, I don't intend to change them. I'm driving them through my trusted Questyle M15 from the 3.5mm port.A word of caution before I proceed with my impression. Please try it with different tips before coming to a conclusion about the sound. I honestly hated the first listen with the stock silicon tips. It sounded anaemic at the lower end with a 'tinny' presentation.Then I tried the foam tips, and they transformed the IEMs into a different beast altogether. The issue was with the fit and the foamies addressed all my concerns. I'm currently pairing them with these foamies, although the best pairing was with the Azla Sedna Earfit Light. The shells are super-light and tiny and get lost in my ears, making them a perfect bed-side companion for night-time listening.Coming to the sound, they have impressed me so far, in the 5-6 hours I've sat with them since today morning. I took them through the paces with all genres under the sun and as expected, they passed all the tests with flying colours.The bass is tight and present wherever required. The emphasis is more on the mid-bass than on sub-bass, and they never leaked into the mids. Mids, though not recessed, could have been a little more forward, especially with male vocals. Female vocals sounded exactly how they are supposed to sound. The treble region doesn't have any spike, although some tracks did sound minutely more 'spicy' than 'shimmery' for my taste. More so with the Azla than the stock foamies. That's why I'm using them with the foamies.The stage has sufficient width and enough depth. Nothing to rave. As I mentioned before, it sounds correct. It does nothing wrong. It can do no wrong.This is a gateway drug to the rabbit hole that we lovingly call 'audiophilia'. With the legendary Sennheiser build quality and at the price it has been launched, this is a no-brainer recommendation for someone looking to taste what a properly tuned DD set is supposed to sound like and can accomplish with one 7mm driver that competitors with 12-20 drivers can't even fathom.If you are a seasoned audiophile and understand your precise taste then there are other IEMs that are specifically tuned to perform better in certain areas where some do stage better, some are technically superior, some do vocals better, but if you are looking to get just one IEM below INR 20k and do not intend to have buyer's remorse down the road then this is your best bet.P.S. - The iFi Go Link is crazy good for the price. It has fantastic synergy with the IE200. I'm surprised what iFi has managed to achieve at this price point. Clean, warmish-neutral sound output through the 3.5mm port is a terrific implementation of the ESS 9219 DAC. I've been a long time iFi fan boy and I honestly did not miss the Burr Browns in this tiny little device. Bonus, they provide a lighting to Type C and a Type A to Type C adaptor in the package. Makes it versatile to be used right out of the box.

IE200: Balanced, Lovely Midrange, Crisp Vocals

Sennheiser doesn’t require any kind of introduction today. The brand is well-known to both regular consumers as well as serious enthusiasts. After all, they have developed the legendary HD6X0 and HD8X0 series of headphones for which they have my personal respect. But I am not here to share something related to their headphones, today, I am here to bring you a review of their latest launched IEMs, the IE200. Apart from the HD6X0 and HD8X0 series of headphones, Sennheiser’s “IE” series of in-ear monitors are also famous among audiophiles. The IE200 is the latest addition following the latest-generation design as the IE900, IE300, and IE600. This is the most affordable of their latest offerings with a price tag of roughly 149$ in the international market and 15,000 ... MoreSennheiser doesn’t require any kind of introduction today.

Apart from the HD6X0 and HD8X0 series of headphones, Sennheiser’s “IE” series of in-ear monitors are also famous among audiophiles. The IE200 is the latest addition following the latest-generation design as the IE900, IE300, and IE600. This is the most affordable of their latest offerings with a price tag of roughly 149$ in the international market and 15,000 Indian Rupees. And from what I know, it houses a 7mm micro dynamic driver just like the other models in the series(IE300, IE600, IE900, and now IE200 are said to have the same driver). Since I am a big fan of the series(with IE600 and IE900 being my absolute favorites), I bought a unit of IE200 for myself. After spending a good amount of time with the pair, I can safely say that the IE200 is a lovely set to listen to. Let’s not waste any more time and begin with the review.Sound Impressions:-Coming to the sound part, I would like to mention that all the impressions in this blog are based on my experience with the pair with JVC Mushroom tips. Sennheiser IE200 sounds quite open with a lovely tone and precise definition of instruments. IMO it has a bit of focus on the midrange, not entirely a mid-centric output, but the midrange feels lively and a bit more pronounced compared to the other lower and top end. It has a smooth neutral tone to its sound that gives a lifelike listening experience. It has a rich musical tone to its notes. The lower end sounds refined and clean with a hint of boost in the mid-bass region. With my Mushroom tips, the bass response is deep and extended. Stock tips not so much extensions especially in the sub-bass region. It has a good punch, and good speed as well. Sub-bass presence is a little on the lighter side, I would rate it to have a neutral-ish bass response. It’s not over-exaggerating yet delivers a good and clean lower-end response.I personally feel that the pair focuses a bit on delivering a lovely midrange, the vocal definition and instruments are super amazing. I love listening to my regional Bollywood tracks they mainly have some mid-bass punch and vocal-focused music. I was listening to “Humnava from Humari Adhuri Kahani”, and the vocal definition was excellent, the track sounds lively with lovely vocals being presented with simple slow music in the background. Vocals also have a bit of upfront presentation, I feel the upper mids and lower-treble(1kHz-4kHz) region is a bit lifted. It doesn’t sound harsh or anything, in fact, I love this upfront, intimacy the vocals produce on the IE200. I remember testing my absolute favorite “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor, “Half of my Heart” by John Mayer, and “Shape of my Heart” by Sting, and I just adored the vocal clarity and performance of the IE200. Simply amazing in this regard!!!Treble response with the IE200 is smooth, I mean it just sounds inoffensive throughout the frequency band. I just couldn’t notice the pair going sharp or sibilant at any given point of time. At the same time, it delivers good details for its price point as well. Treble region might sound soft for some, but for me, it sounds perfect, smooth, crisp, detailed, and inoffensive. Checks all the right boxes for me.The resolution and imaging of the pair are also quite good. It has a precise definition for instruments with proper placement on the soundstage. The sound field of the pair is a little on the intimate side, I won’t say it sounds super wide or huge, it just sounds correct and has enough air to not sound congested at all even for busy tracks. It has a pitch dark noise-free background, that allows for details and music to pop out beautifully.Final Words:-Sennheiser IE200 sounds wonderful, it packs some amazing vocals and a smooth inoffensive sound with a comfortable fit. With proper tip-rolling, like with JVC Mushrooms in my case, the pair literally disappears into my ears. What I like the most about the IE200 would be its clean, neutral-ish sound with lovely vocal presence, what I think could be improved would be that I would like some more sub-bass presence in the output.Well, that’s all about the IE200 from my side, I hope you guys liked reading my writeup, I will soon be coming up with a video review on my Youtube channel shortly. Do subscribe to me on my YT as well!!

Not worth the price

Tried to like them but without modification they sounded average at best. Covering the bass port helped the non-existant bass but shouldn't have been necessary in the first place. Cheap feeling cable where the chin strap is a piece of clear plastic straw. The only benefit is that they are comfortable but all the other issues make them not worth the cost in my opinion. There are many other options for IEMs that sound as good or better for a fraction of the price.

Sennheiser ie200 - HD 6 series of iem

Sennheiser ie200 reviewFirst the disclaimer – I have been a Sennheiser fanboy during the initial days of my audiophile journey, having owned PX80 and MX170, I was somehow a Sennheiser fan in regards to their product quality, warranty coverage and most importantly sound quality.Now, ie200 – I had been following the IE series lineup for the past year or so and read a lot about them. I was on the verge of buying the IE300 but there came news of the new product Sennheiser was about to launch within the $200 mark, in a group I was part of, a graph of the FR was shared and I was intrigued by it and pre-ordered it.IE200 arrives in a rather simple packaging whereas its Chinese counterpart which arrived on the same day and belonged to the same price, the SeeAudio Yume 2 ... MoreSennheiser ie200 reviewFirst the disclaimer – I have been a Sennheiser fanboy during the initial days of my audiophile journey, having owned PX80 and MX170, I was somehow a Sennheiser fan in regards to their product quality, warranty coverage and most importantly sound quality.Now, ie200 – I had been following the IE series lineup for the past year or so and read a lot about them. I was on the verge of buying the IE300 but there came news of the new product Sennheiser was about to launch within the $200 mark, in a group I was part of, a graph of the FR was shared and I was intrigued by it and pre-ordered it.IE200 arrives in a rather simple packaging whereas its Chinese counterpart which arrived on the same day and belonged to the same price, the SeeAudio Yume 2 came in impressive packaging, good quality silicone eartips and a carry case, something for Sennheiser to take as feedback. Came along with iems were a carry pouch few pairs of eartips, some custom tips with acoustic treatment by Sennheiser and some foam (underwhelming in today’s standard of $200 iem).Now coming to the sound, the first impressions were quite good on the first two tracks I heard (Ghoomar and Ek Dil Ek Jaan) however with time the iem started to feel spicy in the treble region to become fatiguing especially when I was side by side listening to Yume 2 which has perfect balance across frequencies except for the bass being a bit leaner in comparison.I was informed in advance by the forum members about tip rolling to bring out the best, I also happen to follow GizAudio about the same topic around the same time.Tip rolling –• Stock tips – extremely comfortable, but be ready to sacrifice the sound quality as I believe it just doesn’t do justice to these item's capability• Foam Tips – Now, the entire concept changed, the bass became prominent also the mids feel more natural to my ears, listening to Udit ji’s playlist, I was getting the memory of me listening to those tracks on HD6XX, albeit the stage felt wider on these. Dark Horse by Katy Perry and Starboy by Weeknd sounded extremely good, the opening of these tracks are good to evaluate if the bass can overpower other details and I could happily say that I didn’t face any issue with these tracks on the ie200• Final E tips – Now comes the final E tips on the recommendation of a beloved friend, the first impression was underwhelming TBH as I thought I was getting the best with foam tips however with the final E tips I was getting LetShouer S12 vibes on ie200 because of the spicy treble and overpowering bass. Gave it a few days and these have become the new normal, I have been switching between E tips and foam for a change, final E tips are good if you want to make the sound a little more V.Overall, I would say that I still need to spend some good time with these iems, as it is a chameleon when it comes to sound changes on tip rolling. As for the sound quality in summary I am impressed with the Sennheiser ie200. It deserves to be sold in volumes as it is launched at a very aggressive price point if we see Sennheiser’s standards. This could be the game changer as were the Senn HD6 series I believe people would get that taste in an iem form, they just need to choose the right eartips (which may not be easy). Until next time 😊

Step into the in-ear market with these entry-level pro level units

I could never get airpods to fit, and started trying some lower-priced wired in-ear-monitors. These newly introduced Sennheiser IE200s are a huge step forward for me, with a price point that makes the step from airpods to iem's well worth it. I've learned not to listen to gear that I can't afford, and I'm not a person who is likely to buy iem's for thousands of dollars, and for this price the IE200s are excellent value for the price. They fit my ear canals with enough snugness for full bass response, without having to jam them into my ears, and come with simple bendable wires for holding it over your ears.I'm sure I would like the IE-600s but I'm grateful that Sennheiser has come down to this price point.

Stunning performance

Recently launched ie 200 from sennheiser is a pure sounding delight. It lives up to its reputation, that being said it’s a king in its segment, The sound signature is balanced & non fatiguing, The fit & seal is perfect,I feel lucky having purchased this .Sennheiser had done a wonderful job in tuning the sound.It performs well & even outclasses some higher priced iems,Thanks to the audio store for quick shipping & prompt serviceDefinitely recommended 👍

They're great when they work

My first impression of these was that of disappointment. On best buys website they advertise this product as having a cable with an inline media button but that is not what is included with the product. Speaking of the cable it feels cheap but it doesnt look like it will fall apart as the cable seems pretty strong wound. Although I dont know if its an issue with the cable or the actual iems themselves but any slight motion of the head creates a disconnect and cutting out of audio from one or both ears. The buds themselves are extremely small and comfortable though. I feel they would've been amazing for wearing while face down in a pillow if the audio didnt keep cutting out. Sound quality is pretty good if you create a proper seal with one of the many sets of both ... MoreMy first impression of these was that of disappointment.

Sound quality is pretty good if you create a proper seal with one of the many sets of both silicone and foam tips. The tuning seems fairly balanced with a bit of a bass boost but at least the bass doesnt sound boomy like many other iems. They do sound amazing for movies and tv shows if thay was what you wanted to use them for. They dont isolate much sound so that can either be a plus or a negative depending on the use case. If usung with a phone that still has a headphone jack, be aware of the reslly thick plastic body where thr 3.5 mm terminates. I was hoping for an iem comperable to my hd560s to take on the go where headphones would be a pain to carry but all these downsides make it just annoying to use. I think ill end up returning these.

Very good

Pros:- Very lightweight- Comfortable- DetailsSurprisingly, takes more power to drive than what I expected based on the specs. I consider this as a positive since you don't have to struggle fine-tuning the volume slider to adjust to a comfortable volume setting.Cons- The stock cable doesn't come with a mic.- mmcx connectors would need a light push-back at times since they could become loose at certain angles.- There is no great wow factor, but nothing sounds wrong.
