Sennheiser - IE 300

Its tricky. I would tend to agree sub 500 pounds. Love the sennheiser ie300 single DD. Id pick this over any hybrid below 500. However tri i3 MK3 is a tribrid with a lovely timbre (I listen to classical). Also the Katori Audio Vampire is a single BA without any ba timbre, but it achieves this I suspect at the expense of frequency extension - warm lush mids with rolled of treble.

Yep, I use Sennheiser IE 300s for my sets. There are good videos on Youtube of how to set them up, primarily from Laidback Luke and James Hype.

These are my daily drivers. They are incredible for music and for gaming. Probably a little bit more than most people want to spend though lol I have the audeze Maxwell and some Sennheiser ie300s for times that I need more sound isolation. I'd recommend any of them

I have used Sennheiser IE 300, Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk, Phoenix Call, Chu 2, Tanchjim Origin, Tanchjim kara, Dunu Da Vinci, Mega5est, Simgot EA500, Kinera Skuld, Tin T2, Tanchjim One.and softears volume s on the way soon.

IE600 > IE200(terrible cable) >> IE900 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IE300 problem with everything but IE200 is it's rly overpriced, IE600 at $800 msrp most closely competes with $259 Intuaura Splendor II

The HD660s is/was premium enough for me. But sure, you can always find better and more expensive ones. I've tried the HD660s2 as well, which wasn't really an upgrade over the "old" version. In terms of IEM's I've had the IE300, Zero Blue, Zero Blue2, Gate and Nova, which I really enjoyed .. But the nozzle size was just too big for my ears. If it wasn't for the discomfort of wearing my headset. I would most likely still be using it .. But getting a headache after 30mins of use is just not worth it.

My first ones were the KZ ZS 10 Pro and I had a similar experience. The sound wasn’t pleasant at all. I went to a friend and tried his FiiO something’s. And in the End I got Sennheiser IE 300s. Those were so muffled that I decided to get the IE600 which are absolutely everything I hoped them to be. More recently I have also gotten the IE200 which are much cheaper and sound 90% as good as the IE600. I recommend the IE200 to everyone in a heartbeat.

I have been listening to my 300s all vacation. Didn’t bring the 900s in case they got lost or stolen. I had read a lot of reviews praising the 200 over the 300, and I really like my 300s so I say go for it!

Sennheiser momentum 4 & Sennheiser IE300

Thank you for the detailed comparison. I have the IE300 and 600 myself and am more than satisfied (except for the cables :(, I have sent you a PM). I'm also considering buying the IE200. More out of curiosity, it doesn't make sense (but a lot of things don't make sense in our hobby). Happy New Year to all and enjoy your music... 🎵

Agree with this 100% I used to think it was mostly about size and I bought an IEM that was fairly small but one of the least comfortable IEMs I've ever used. Shape matters so much more than size, and it really becomes obvious to me when I tried larger resin shell designs that were actually just as comfortable as my IE300s in terms of long term listening. With that being said, I'm not saying size DOESNT contribute to comfort, because it definitely does. But my point is that there are comfortable big IEMs and uncomfortable small IEMs. Just because an IEM is small, doesn't mean it is going to be comfortable and vice versa.

These arent in production anymore but the sennheiser ie300 are such a great piece imo. The small fit and amazing sound quality when you use an interface just makes it such a good option in my opinion

I agree, i find the connector quite bothersome and also just feel it come loose from time to time which is quite frustrating, but besides that the fit and sound is genuinely so impressive that its worth the price and the cons

I'd love to get the IE600, my IE300 is getting on a bit. But I never seem to come across this mythical $400-ish sale.

Been using IE-300 for past \~2 months. Hours and hours of usage everyday and no headaches, no sweat or worry of getting up and walking with a fear of headphones falling over. Might upgrade to IE-600 if the bass is better on them. I've 2 KZ series IEMs, some wireless earbuds, some wired earphones by Sony, JBL and apple, and 4-5 other headphones all costing above 8k but I prefer using IE-300 for longer sessions out of them all.

I use the Shure SE215m+ with my nano 7 on my daily ride to university. The comfort, inline controls and passive noise cancelling of the 215s, paired with the nano’s light weight sure do wonders for someone always on the move like me. But when I’m at home or at school then I’ll whip out my Sennheiser IE300 and iPod touch 2 combo, for a more leisurely and critical listening experience.

Oh I love them too, been returning to those quite a lot recently. My only gripe is the Sennheiser proprietary/non-standard MMCX connector so I can't use them with Fiio UTWS5. I've tried a couple of adapters, none of them worked, so I gave up...

1. Sundara 2020. Nothing i need to say tbh. my most used hp at my desk, most comfortable, and favorite sounding overall. 2. Sennheiser IE300. i dont use IEMS as much but ranking from best sound, i love the detail with these 3. Grado SR80e. my most used everywhere other than my desk (literally wearing them rn at uni). Love the very portable build, and i swear up and down that the bass with on-ears feels a little more physical then over-ears. bonus that they look cool lol 4. Drop/DCA Ether CX. had to eq the shit out them so they dont sound like tin cans, but theyre my only closed-backs and after the eq sound pretty decent so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 5. Moondrop Nekocake TWS. designated to audiobooks or youtube only. tbh pretty good considering they were like $30

Nice review mate I just recently started getting into to audio space and tried some IEM's at first i had the Sennheiser IE300 but the EM6L are better for gaming imo
