2.5mm & 4.4mm Balanced Plug
Fits like a Dream
Looking for headphones that feel like they were made just for you ✨?
I've found that comfort can make or break your entire listening experience. These headphones provide an exceptionally comfortable fit that adapts perfectly to your unique ear shape and size. Think of it like a well-tailored suit - everything just fits naturally without any pressure points or awkward adjustments. It's the difference between wearing uncomfortable formal shoes all day versus your favourite sneakers.

From the precisely engineered headband that distributes pressure evenly to the plush ear cushions that create a gentle seal, every aspect has been thoughtfully crafted to ensure long-lasting comfort without compromising sound quality.

Upgradeable Cable
Not satisfied with the current cable? No problem 🔧!

Think of it like having a modular smartphone - you can upgrade individual components without replacing the whole device.

I tend to describe these products as audio equipment that's built to survive anything you can throw at them. These headphones incorporate high-grade metal components and reinforced design elements that ensure they can handle demanding conditions while maintaining structural integrity. Think of them as the military-grade vehicles of the audio world - over-engineered for reliability and built to last decades, not just years.

Why it Sounds Amazing
Dynamic Driver
The dynamic powerhouse of your sound ⚡!
I believe dynamic drivers are like the "reliable workhorses" of the headphone world - they've been perfected over decades and continue to deliver incredible performance. This driver design uses a lightweight diaphragm attached to a voice coil suspended within a permanent magnetic field, enabling precise and responsive movement that produces sound with remarkable efficiency. Think of them like precision engines that convert electrical energy into acoustic energy with impressive power and naturalness.
Dynamic drivers excel at delivering powerful and authoritative bass reproduction, clear midrange frequencies, and vibrant high frequencies. The inherent strengths ensure your music is reproduced with impressive dynamics and energy that stays true to the artist's intent 🎶.
When you see "🔈 Dynamic Driver" products, expect energetic, natural sound with excellent dynamics that bring every note and beat to life with exceptional realism.
Balanced Sound Signature
In my experience, a balanced sound signature is like a well-cooked meal—nothing overpowering, everything in harmony. If you’re someone who listens to a bit of everything—rock one day, jazz the next—this is the tuning I’d recommend. It doesn’t boost any part of the sound unnaturally, so what you hear is often how the artist intended it. 🎧
Here’s what’s actually happening: the headphones don’t favour bass, mids, or treble excessively. This results in a neutral, natural, and versatile sound that suits a wide variety of music genres. While it may not feel as “exciting” as some more coloured tunings, balanced headphones tend to offer the most accurate reproduction, making them a favourite among audiophiles and studio pros alike.
Ultra-Wide Sound Stage
Do you wish to bring the concert hall to your ears 🏛️?
I love describing ultra-wide soundstage as "audio magic" that creates a breathtaking three-dimensional environment around your head. These specialised headphones feature an exceptionally spacious soundstage that creates the illusion you're sitting in the sweet spot of a magnificent performance venue. Think of it like teleportation technology for your ears - suddenly you're not wearing headphones, you're sitting in Carnegie Hall with perfect acoustics.
The precise instrument placement and remarkable sense of space work together to transport you directly into the music, making you feel as though you're experiencing a live performance. This creates a listening experience that's grand, enveloping, and incredibly detailed 🎭.
When you encounter "😳 Ultra-Wide Soundstage" products, expect concert hall acoustics that make you forget you're wearing headphones through sheer spaciousness and realism.
Thick Bass / Kickass Bass
When I say kickass bass, I’m talking about bass that slaps you right in the face—in the best way possible. It’s that visceral, chest-thumping low-end that makes you feel like you’re in the front row of a concert or a nightclub. If you’re into hip-hop, EDM, Bollywood beats, or anything with a deep groove, this is where the fun begins. 🔊💥
Here’s what’s going on technically: the low-frequency range is heavily emphasised, resulting in powerful sub-bass rumble and impactful mid-bass slam. This kind of tuning brings weight, warmth, and physicality to your music. The trade-off? It might mask some midrange detail or high-frequency sparkle—but for bassheads, the emotional payoff is more than worth it.
Bright & Sparkly Highs
Who says treble can't be done right ⭐?
I tend to describe these headphones as having "magical sparkle" in the high frequencies that makes cymbals shimmer and vocals shine without ever becoming harsh. These products excel in delivering pristine, crystalline high frequencies with remarkable precision and finesse. Think of it like the difference between cheap glitter and real diamonds - both sparkle, but one does it with elegance and refinement that never hurts your eyes.
The treble presentation is masterfully tuned to showcase delicate nuances in the upper register, offering brilliant and engaging listening without fatigue. Every cymbal shimmer, violin overtone, and vocal harmony is reproduced with exceptional clarity and natural brilliance ✨.
When you see "✨ Bright & Sparkly Highs" products, expect extraordinary treble clarity that discovers new layers of detail while maintaining smooth, fatigue-free listening.
Layered and Nuanced Sound
Imagine sitting in the second row of a grand music hall 🎼, where each instrument's placement creates a vivid sonic landscape before you. I believe these headphones recreate that precise spatial positioning, allowing you to distinctly perceive where each instrument would be on an imaginary stage. Think of it like watching an orchestra conductor - you can follow each section independently while appreciating how they work together in perfect harmony. The layered presentation ensures every element occupies its own distinct space while contributing to the whole.
This audio equipment creates a detailed listening experience where musical notes, overtones, and reverberations shine through clearly, keeping complex passages distinct and well-separated. The tuning excels at revealing subtle interplay between instruments and the natural ambiance of recording spaces 🎯.
When you see "🍰 Layered and Nuanced Sound" products, expect intricate soundscapes that reveal the depth, complexity, and artistry in your favorite music with exceptional clarity.
Like a Party in your Head
Now this one’s easy—if a sound signature makes you want to dance, sing, or just lose yourself in the music, that’s what I call a party in your head. 💃 It’s the kind of sound that’s fun, energetic, and unapologetically lively. Think strong bass, glimmering treble, and a forward midrange that grabs your attention right away.
Technically, it’s usually a V-shaped or bass-boosted signature that’s not too concerned with neutrality but focuses on excitement and engagement. It’s perfect for Bollywood, EDM, pop, or anything upbeat. While it may not be the most accurate tuning, it’s the kind that gets your feet tapping and your head nodding within seconds. And honestly? Sometimes, that’s all you need.
Needs Amplification
I tend to say this when a headphone or DAC just doesn’t wake up unless it’s got some real juice behind it. Think of it like a sports car that needs the right kind of fuel—without enough power, it won’t go anywhere near top speed. Some gear, especially those with high impedance or low sensitivity, demands a dedicated amplifier to reach its full potential.
Here's the trade-off: these headphones or IEMs may sound underwhelming straight out of a phone or laptop, but when paired with proper gear, they transform dramatically. You get tighter bass, better control, and improved resolution.
If you’ve got a power-hungry planar or a studio-grade headphone, investing in a portable or desktop amp will unlock nuance, dynamics, and depth that you’re otherwise missing out on. ⚡

Using these with the chord mojo 2. A delight to listen to music through these. Absolute powerhouse of an iem! These are the most comfortable iem's that I have ever used. No problem with wearing over long hours.
Now that’s a dream combo! Mojo 2 and a powerhouse IEM is always pure bliss. Keep the music playing!
I am a great music lover who currently ventured into the world of IEMs. I am primarily don’t consider myself as an audiophile, the anticipation of experiencing Sennheiser's acclaimed sound signature through their latest offering, the IE 900 earphones, has been nothing short of exhilarating.
These in-ear monitors (IEMs) promise a premium listening experience, and this initial review captures my thoughts during the critical burn-in phase.
Right out of the box, the IE 900's exude luxury. The impeccable craftsmanship is evident in the solid yet lightweight anodized aluminum housing, designed meticulously with Sennheiser's proprietary X3R technology. The attention to detail reassures you of the durability and quality that Sennheiser is known for.
Moreover considering the fact that on first day, I broke both the mesh of ear buds which Sennheiser gracefully repaired within warranty without any cost. This has been discussed separately in my other post earlier in
https://www.theindianaudiophileforum.com/c/ask-the-community/i-have-mistakenly-damaged-ie900
The unboxing experience is complemented by a generous assortment of ear tips and a premium carrying case, reflecting the company's commitment to user satisfaction. This IE900 is designed in Germany and made in Ireland and I purchased from Amazon with effective price of Rs 89999 with a caveat 24 months no cost EMI. So effective cost is around Rs 77000 plus.
The initial fit is snug and comfortable, with excellent passive noise isolation that allows for an immersive listening session.
During the burn-in phase which is normally 30 hours or 5 hours per day for initial 6-7 days, which is crucial for any high-end IEM, the Sennheiser IE 900 is already hinting at its potential. Out of the gate, the sound profile is impressively balanced with a slight emphasis on clarity and detail retrieval. The treble is crisp and articulate, without any signs of sibilance or harshness that often plagues lesser IEMs during their early use.
The midrange, while still settling in, is already demonstrating a natural and transparent character. Vocals have a presence that's intimate, with nuances in performances being rendered with a lifelike quality that Sennheiser is celebrated for. It's clear that with more hours of play, the midrange will only become richer and more cohesive.
Bass response in the initial hours is tight and controlled but not fully upto its potential in initial hours. This will come into full potential post burn-in phase as I was given to understand. There's a satisfying level of punch and depth that doesn't bleed into the mids, preserving the overall balance. The IE 900 seems to be on track to offer a bass response that is both dynamic and detailed, catering to a wide range of genres.
Soundstage and imaging are other areas where the IE 900 is already showing promise. There's a sense of space and separation that's remarkable for in-ear monitors, with instruments and vocals placed accurately within an expansive soundscape. As the drivers continue to settle in, I anticipate these qualities will be further refined.
Connectivity has been seamless, with the provided cable offering both a secure connection and the promise of high-fidelity audio transmission. The option for cable replacement or upgrade is a welcome feature, ensuring longevity and personalization for the user. Thus I am waiting to buy 8 wires 4.4 mm balanced Effect Audio Cadmus wires when it is available in renowned stores like HPZ or Audio Store of Pune.
In conclusion, while the Sennheiser IE 900 is still in its burn-in phase, the initial listening experience is indicative of the earphones' high-end pedigree. The sound signature is evolving with each hour of use, and there's a palpable sense of anticipation for the acoustic excellence that will be fully realized post burn-in. If the initial impressions are anything to go by, the IE 900 is poised to set a new benchmark in the portable audio space and will be one the best audio gears in my presence considering I have experienced music from my AirPods Max, Sennheiser Momentum 4 and Focal Bathys. In BT TWS Devialet Gemini 2 is also an excellent collection of mine.
In the whole process Pritam of Audio Store is guiding each day to convert me from beginners club to serious pro grade audiophile.
PS. I paired up IE900 with my AK SR 35. I will post my detailed review once burn-in phase is over and paired up with 8 wires 4.4 mm balanced Effect Audio Cadmus wires.

Sennheiser - IE 900
In the age of multi-driver technology IEM's, a single dynamic driver IEM & that too of a price it is at, is not only an anomly but will also be viewed with suspicion.
I too had my own doubt, but my search for a capable IEM was ongoing & wanted to purchase IEM that were sold with warranty (Products unavailable in India that cost lakhs, imported & that too without
warranty is too much of a risk to bear).
Product that I purchase without trail, like this, if for any reason I personally cannot find satisfaction then I sell it off. Solaris OG, Solaris 2020, Fiio FH 7, Fearless S8F, IE 800s, Mest MK II etc are some of the IEM's I previously owned & sold off either due to wearing discomfort or for how it sounded.
IE 900 after first few listens came across as lacking in impact, scale & cohesiveness. With Balanced Armateur(BA) sets, burn-in has not made much difference, but with IE 900's dynamic driver few days of burn-in truly changed the whole dynamics of sound produced by this IEM. I can assure that it was not me getting used to its sound, as I mentioned earlier with any audio product especially IEM or headphone if I don't find the sound produced endearing, then I just sell it off.
After burn-in the true character of IE 900 was revealed as having reasonably wide soundstage, extremely clean sound reproduction and a high level of musicality.
All this ends up being an IEM that is truly capable of delivering the true essence of any piece/genre of music.
Treble is well extended but never came across as harsh or sibiliant, never. Mids are extremely detailed & vocals sound extremely real. Bass has superb amount of energy & if a track has bass, be rest assured it will never shy away
from reproducing it with an impact. This IEM being extremely light & small, it has to be hands down one of the most comfortable IEM's you will ever come across. Even in sleeping position, this IEM never causes any problem.
Last but not the least, this IEM like may others depend on good eartips for it to sound great. Any eartip that dosen't seal well or dosen't allow IEM to rest properly can make it sound wonky & wrong.
Provided eartips do not do justice to this product. Many have rasied this point & I concur that provided silicone eartip is underwhelming. Foam eartips are better, but for excellent results I defentiley recommend Comply 500 series round eartips. I suggest buying large ones because irrespective of ear size, it fits easily & seals well. Usage for even long hours is convenient.
All in all, this is definetly a keeper, plus the provided balanced cabels & 2 years of warranty definetly deservers an appreciation.
Thanks a lot for your accurate and detailed feedback on this product, we're glad that you have such positive thoughts about the product.
You can't ask more of an IEM. Agreeable that its Ultra Premium but gives you every bit of return. Excels in all respects Comfort, Build, Sound. Haven't tried it with a DAC yet so the best is yet to come. Delivery was super fast - less than 24 hrs.
HI Sandy,
Glad you are loving your buy, do test it with the dac & send us another review. We'd love to hear all about to. Cheers & keep the music playing!
This is a review of both the IE 300 and the IE 900. I'll copy paste it in both sections.
Firstly, accessories (ear tips and cables) are a massive middle finger from Sennheiser to the buyer. The included silicon tips are absolute bottom barrel trash. They can not seal for me and while pulling one off the IEM it ripped the tip from the stem. The foam tips are useful and help me get a good seal, but I'm using them sparingly, because, like all foam tips they won't be too long lived. Replacement tips?
The cable is sticky, tangly, fights you at all times. The cables of the 900 feel a little softer and less sticky, and there are 3 of them, but still these are far form decent for the price. Sourcing a good replacement cable will be a problem because of the non standard termination. I have bought a replacement cable "Tiandirenhe cable for IE 300, 600 and 900". It feels flimsy and cheap, and I'm not hopeful as to it's longevity, but that cable in feel is a humongous upgrade. I fail to see how a leader in the audio industry is so clueless. I was reading a discussion on a forum where Sennheiser reps., on being asked if they could recommend a replacement cable asked a person what the problem with the stock cable was.
Both the IE 300 and IE 900 are comfortable and after trying different ear tips I've found the best ones for me are the included foamies and Spinfit CP100 plus. It's unfortunate Hpz doesn't sell the CP100 plus. Also sourcing the original foam tips might be a problem. The seal is fidgety and while I can maybe attribute that to my ear shape being wrong, these aren't my first IEMs.
Sound is simple. both of these are basically detailed, pleasant with a good amount of bass. Having said that The IE 900 is FAR better than the IE 300s. More resolution, better imaging/ staging and bass. So much so that IMHO the IE 300 are bad value at their price and the IE 900s, while not good value get a pass because the summit fi section has insane pricing anyways.
In fact I thought my IE 900s were broken and were imaging off centre because of the extreme positioning capability. I sent them in for warranty and they returned them saying its fine. I was still not convinced and as a final resource played tracks on mono. the image was dead centre. Basically when you have multiple vocalists close to centre, the IE 900 can locate them precisely.
This review sounds ranty, and that's unfortunate. The headphones are good but are let down by the absolutely trash accessories. They could learn a thing or two from brands like Fiio. At least the carrying boxes are pretty.
Bottom line. IE 300s, OK, but 10k chi-fi is competitive. IE 900s, GOOD. They know it and have priced them accordingly.
