Also, all the impressions in this blog are my own, I might be biased based on my personal listening preferences, but I try my best to depict the sound of the pair in its most raw form.

If it’s an iPhone, I’ll be carrying around thousands of music tracks encoded in Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) that I’ve amassed through the years. When you slide open the inner box, you will immediately see the 2 earpieces on top, embedded in foam. With past Sennheiser IEMs like the IE900, I have found that even the size of the silicon tips made a difference; the smallest ones noticeably having the best slam and bass tactility.

You have to get used to putting them on your ears but these seem to fit better than the IE100s which felt as though they were going to fall out .I use this track because I love hearing how well the IEM can give me a sense of stage and placement. But my focus while using these has been to keep things casual; I didn’t run them through a DAC or do much intense analytical listening at home. The stage is wide and far, the imaging is nice and clean with separation enough in notes to keep them at breathable positions. I forget where I saw this, but I remember seeing an article where Sennheiser/Axel Grell started talking about multiple driver headphones and their limitations.

Great detailed sound I love neutral sounding earphones and tend to go for higher end than this, but wanting a mid range pair to have to throw in my bag.

The shell design is minimalistic and simple, you get plain ear shells with engraved Sennheiser logo on the face covers. After spending a good amount of time with the pair, I can safely say that the IE200 is a lovely set to listen to. The resolving power of this IEM is not the best in the range of this segment but keeps the competition on their toes, the detail retrieval is nice enough to keep the listener fascinated. After some more burn in the next day I swapped out the AKM j2 with the iBasso as the source with the CS chip strait to the A90D and two things became immediately clear. These are very obvious cost-cutting measures but they up significantly hurting the overall value of the product.
