Sennheiser IE 200
Your invitation to a new world of sound
Why not make balanced, high-fidelity sound available to everyone, no matter where they are? The IE 200 is Sennheiser’s answer. Whether you’re a lifelong audiophile — or you just want better sound on the road — these exceptionally neutral and precise earphones reveal an entire world of new detail.
![Sennheiser IE 200](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media-library-service-media/8ca4f28b-9939-419d-971f-502270e158c0.__CR200,0,1600,1600_PT0_SX300_V1___.jpg)
The big reveal
Enjoy the music you love like never before with the smallest details unmasked
Maybe it’s three extra notes in a bass line you’d never noticed. Or that flute playing a quiet melody in the background. Every time you discover a new musical flourish in a favorite track, it’s like finding buried treasure.
The tonal balance of the IE 200 showers you with these gifts. Because our engineers spent considerable effort to eliminate the peaks and troughs that can otherwise swallow up or overshadow a particular note. It’s an upgrade for your entire music collection.
![Sennheiser IE 200](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media-library-service-media/35d27d24-78f6-4f17-b4c8-f656dc324a2b.__CR200,0,1600,1600_PT0_SX300_V1___.jpg)
Pure joy for audiophiles, too
This time, accessibility does not mean compromise
Die-hard audio fans have little patience for “bathtub” sound: that’s a profile that rises dramatically at the bass and treble ends (the frequency response curve looks like a bathtub!) You’ll find nothing of the sort with the exquisitely neutral IE 200.
In tuning these in-ears, our engineers pulled out all the stops to achieve a diffuse-field equalized response that comes exceptionally close to the ideal. It’s quite an achievement for in-ears. Now you can take real audiophile sound with you everywhere.
![Sennheiser IE200](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media-library-service-media/9cadd2df-dec5-4a8c-beae-962dea36ebd8.__CR200,0,1600,1600_PT0_SX300_V1___.jpg)
Wires have never been this sexy
For ultimate sound quality and dependability, nothing beats a cable
No matter how amazing your wireless earbuds are, you still have to charge them. With the IE 200, all you need to remember is to plug them in. Ahh, and when you do … you’ll be completely enveloped in a world of brilliantly balanced sound. Full of detail and presence like you’ve never experienced.
Graceful, all-black aesthetics perfectly reflect this devotion to fidelity. The highly adaptable chassis fits comfortably in any ear, from large to even very small — underscoring our clear intent to make audiophile sound accessible to anyone and everyone.
![Sennheiser IE 200](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media-library-service-media/8f41e33f-ac6a-4198-9a15-7653873180b5.__CR200,0,1600,1600_PT0_SX300_V1___.jpg)
Built around the TrueResponse
At the heart of the IE 200 lies a mini-transducer so exceptional, it also drives our most renowned in-ears
The IE 200 takes advantage of some of the best in-ear technology we have to offer. The 7mm extra-wideband True Response transducer, for instance, exhibits virtually no harmonic distortion at all. That’s why you’ll also find it in our IE 300, IE 600 and IE 900.
This dynamic driver reproduces transients with great precision across the entire frequency range — so you can hear exactly what the sound engineer intended. The snare drum cuts through the mix like it’s supposed to; close your eyes, and lifelike sibilants make it feel like the vocalist is in the room, singing just for you.

The sound is really balanced tone-wise, a full-spectrum smooth and even experience. Very realistic tuning. Everything sits where it should in the mix, and nothing is harsh.
They were instantly comfortable. The cable is a really thin but tough and non-tangly design, it's really nice and unique and super light weight. They come with a little faux-leather pouch that is a nice small size and fits into lots of different little pockets on my bag etc, easy to always have them with me.
Stock tips are terrible, on top of that the vent locations lead to inconsistent bass reproduction if the nozze vent is not even sealed. Some aftermarket tips can fix this, or a tape mod (check out google for the ie200 tape mod).
Stock cable is micro-phonic, terrible quality, and has an odd smell. The moldable earhooks don't work well for me, make it too much of a hassle to put on. On top of that, it uses a special recessed mmcx connection that is hard to find aftermarket cables for. Cable is usable if necessary, but i'd rather not bother.

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!

What I dislike about the product is its cable. The part just next to a jack protecting cable from bending, and the sliding part where the cable is "Y"-split are just pieces of heat-shrink tubing.
Despite the cable, it's an awesome product.
