Sennheiser IE900 High-End Audiophile In-Ear Headphones

IE 900 by Sennheiser sets a new benchmark in portable audio fidelity through technical innovation (X3R), meticulous attention to detail, and an uncompromising demand for perfection. They have been awarded a 5-Star review by What Hi-Fi? in May 2021.

Every aspect of IE 900 has been engineered to work in harmony to achieve the desired acoustic tuning and to reduce resonances and masking effects. The acoustic design ensures brilliant, natural high-end sound reproduction and reveals even the finest details in the music.

The precision-manufactured aluminium housing faithfully protects the dynamic TrueResponse transducers at the heart of Sennheiser’s innovative X3R technology. Experience the peak of German audio engineering and manufacturing with earphones that deliver only the purest, most natural sound.

IE 900 fast-forwards past anything that might come between you and your most treasured recordings. You’ll connect to your music in a way no other earphone allows. Imagine hours spent immersed in the finest musical details, from the optimised 7 mm transducers plus innovative X3R resonator chamber technology, to the precision-manufactured aluminium housing — every facet of IE 900 is engineered to deliver the purest, most natural sound.

IE 900 reveals the true potential of any recording. Brilliant, sparkling treble with no trace of sibilance. Powerful lows without creating muddy mids. An uncanny ability to resolve fine detail, alongside warmth and comfort for extended sessions. All these qualities derive from inspired feats of engineering. An improved 7 mm transducer just for the IE 900, an all-new X3R triple-chamber absorber system milled right into the solid aluminium core, with downstream acoustic vortex, together delivering a unique level of balance and transparency — you never have to compromise again.

A large part of IE 900’s very precise transient response comes from the unique combination of materials in the diaphragm together with its high inner dampening. So when the signal stops, the sound stops too. The tonality of each instrument becomes clearly audible. And it’s not just the skills of the musicians that IE 900 reveals. Even the acoustic properties of the room gain a new presence. Instead of remaining on the surface, you can now dive deep into complex passages — all while immersed in a breathtaking sound stage.

With IE 900 you can enjoy a fit and quality that rival those experienced by the artists who create your music. Included are silicone ear adapters and three elastic foam ear adapter sets in three different sizes. They adapt to the natural shape of your ear for a tailored fit.
