"Super comfortable resin shell, has shorter nozzle so no discomfort with insertion for me, YMMV. ... Just prefer the tuning & fit/design of the InAwaken, it can be used all day with no problems physically or musically. ... I can’t speak for you but had zero comfort issues (my ears are small/medium in width). The inner shell is very smooth with no bumpy nodules. Has the best fit of my x4 current iem’s."
"The fit is incredible, light, shorter nozzle, so sits great in-ear/canal area isn irritated. ... Can wear all day with zero fatigue."
"Hours and hours of usage everyday and no headaches, no sweat ... I prefer using IE-300 for longer sessions out of them all."

"It just clips on the outside, and doesn’t go in your ear at all. ... doesn’t move around even when walking or working out. ... and I never have to worry about it falling out."
"amazing sound quality when you use an interface ... the fit and sound is genuinely so impressive"
"I can have them on for hours and they never feel uncomfortable. ... If you plan to wear them for long stretches, it’s probably better to invest in something that stays in place and feels good. ... These have become my go to when I want background music without completely tuning out the world."

"reduced the nozzle just merely 0.6mm (still quite large) ... I have small ear canals, what he did, did not only not solve anything, but if i were to get it, thanks to the very huge nozzle, ill likely would not be able to wear the foams comfortable"
"It also shares the big nozzle of the blue version. ... if you happen to have small ear canals, or you are looking for comfort, they could hurt or not fit well when using them ... truthear zero red is NOT good if you have small ear canals, and not safe if you dont know if you have small ear canals*) ... Klean is pretty well balanced and a lot more comfortable than Zero Red"
"For Zero red, I felt fatigue on my ear after using it for 2 hours. The nozzle is too big but my ear can handle it but not for long."

"Well, I do agree with the trash cable part of the comment in reference to QKZ x HBB. I disliked that cable more than any other stock cable I ’ve come across and couldn’t replace it fast enough."
"The cable was atrocious"
"the default one absolutely will not allow for a proper fit and stay there."

"Mine was hot garbage, no matter how perfect I made my lighting."
"look like absolute crap, even compared to a c920"
"And when they *did* work... the image quality was somehow *worse* that the c920 I'd bought them to replace. Looked like absolute fried ass."

"Those were so muffled"
"As much as I loved the feel of it, it could not back it up with music performance. ... it fails at doing what it was made to do (for me) ... Its timbre is funky and the Bose sounds much, much better."
"everything is all muffled together."

"I find the connector quite bothersome ... also just feel it come loose from time to time which is quite frustrating"
"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..."
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.
r/iems • BEST IEM(Tell me best iem in your personal opinion) ->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.
r/DJs • In- ear headphones for vinyl DJing/hearing protection ->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
r/EscapefromTarkov • [Suggestion] Looking to get a new headset primarily for Tarkov, what headset/IEMs would you say is the best for EFT and gaming in general? ->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.
r/inearfidelity • IEM recommendations under 500$ ->I'd say the cheaper and more comfortable the better. There are some really good options in the $10-$30 range. I've personally enjoyed dozens of hours in PUBG with the KZ ZVX, Moondrop Chu 2, and Artti R6. My favorite ever were my IE300 from Sennheiser but those could be considered more "premium." Their successor, the IE200s are on sale for $100 right now.
r/iems • Best IEMS for gaming? ->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.
r/iems • Talk me out/in of Mangird tea pros ->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.
r/headphones • Purchased an iem and terribly disappointed with it ->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!
r/iems • Sennheiser ie200 in 2025? ->Sennheiser momentum 4 & Sennheiser IE300
r/onebag • What earbuds/headphones do you use? ->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... 🎵
