Sennheiser IE200 works fine off a smartphone, although it find it to sound better with dedicated DAC/AMP and Audio players. I tried the IE200 with my colleague's M31S and it was sounding pretty decent off it as well. But once I plugged it into my sources such as the Hidizs XO, the Astell&Kern SE200, and the Sony ZX707, the result was even better. It synergizes well with my Sony and delivers a rich, smooth sound that I personally prefer. The treble is astonishingly praiseworthy as a single 7mm transducer is able to hold the balanced sound while producing such extension and air in the sound. The exposure of the treble is not something new as a few under or around this price provide such a tonality. The differences comes when the technicalities comes into play. The response becomes rich and details without producing nuisances in tonal balance. The upper treble sounds extensive and airy with good details which are vividly clear to listen to. The vocals have a little shy approach but keeps harmony between the instruments and itself very well. The vocals sound have a realistic persona. The instruments have a more forward approach where it seems not to be edgy or sharper but anyhow brings out good details without being emphasizing the dynamic range. The instruments do have a lush presence but comes out beautiful and informative. I should also point out that these aren’t the detail monsters but usually the tonality suffers of those IEMs with great technicalities especially those with dynamic drivers. The lower treble sounds a little spicy yet retaining the tonal performance and not being metallic or odd sounding. The vocals have a lively approach where as the instruments works in harmony with the vocals while producing a forward presence with better dynamics and soft timbre. There hints of a little hotness with instruments playing in high octaves. All in all the presentation of the treble region is ecstatic and vivid with smooth flow of presentation. Sennheiser’s answer.

These earphones/IEMs are designed for discerning music lovers. If you are someone who cares about audio quality deeply, you'll want a pair of earphones/IEMs like these. You can expect them to present a Hi-Fidelity listening experience. Audiophile sound True Response transducers eliminate distortion for neutral, true-to-life voicing and impactful bass without peaks or troughs Audiophile quality in earphones has historically been the domain of high-end products with corresponding prices. But now, in keeping with its tradition of bringing personal high fidelity to the world, Sennheiser has developed the IE 200. The new world of sound is balanced and true-to-life with exceptional resolution which is unique in its price range. Even in your favorite recordings, details you’ve never heard await. All in an inconspicuous design that comfortably fits any ear, big or small. Where Sennheiser is betting that all our minor quibbles on the design side will be drowned out is on sound quality, and it might not be wrong there.This remarkable lightness (4g/side) is achieved by using a plastic shell. Despite being all plastic, the IE 200 feel well put together. The left channel has the model number embossed into the shell. The earphones, as you can see in the pictures, come in a simple Sennheiser branded box. While it looks like the other IE series boxes, it is a simpler version of it. The box nicely displays the IE 200 and the cable, but it’s actually a very simple box. Looking at the price the IE 200 is going for, this does make sense. The dual fit system means that you can position the tip close to the edge of the nozzle or right down at the base with both positions affecting the small vent at the top of the nozzle to create a different sound signature.

Finally, I will only evaluate the IE200 based on their performance, even though I will explain how it feels and seems physically and aesthetically. All products sold on Headphone Zone carry a GST compliant invoice and all products sold include an 18% GST. At the heart of the IE 200 lies a mini-transducer so exceptional, it also drives our most renowned in-ears A very warm welcome! Sennheiser, to the entry level space of audiophiles with the IE 200s. It’s an addition to their existing IE series lineup of IEMs IE900, IE 600 and IE 300. Let’s have a look at it closely in this review. With the IE 200, nothing stands between the user and discovering new sonic landscapes. Harmonic distortion is almost non-existent, with a natural frequency response curve typically found in earphones costing significantly more. The IE 200 delivers superbly balanced and realistic audio”Sennheiser’s venture into IEMs has not had the same adulation and adoration as its headphones lineup. The Sennheiser IE 200 has a simple but lovely design, and it shares its form factor with its higher end siblings. This time round Sennheiser chose a more minimalist build, probably also to keep the selling price as low as possible. Like the IE 300, the IE 200 comes in a type of plastic and not aluminium. So, much like its far more expensive options, the IE 200 has an L-shape to its earbuds, each of which can be easily detached from its cabling to swap in cables you might want to buy yourself.

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.

There was once a time when in-ear headphones like the Sennheiser IE 200 were the most convenient way to listen to music on the go. That all changed with the arrival of Bluetooth options, specifically true wireless earbuds, but wired headphones aren’t dead just yet. Personally, I like to pair the IE 200 with IFI Zen Dac V2 without bass boost enabled on the DAC-AMP. For on the go, I use it with the LG G8X which also sounds great. Sennheiser’s answer. Whether you’re a lifelong audiophile — or you just want better sound on the road — Brainwavz B400 – More bass energy that the W20 but less than the IE200. These have aged well. Narrower but taller stage.
