I have bought a pair, and I gotta say, I'm hearing parts of familiar songs for the first time very clear now. If only they have a replacement cable for these with a mic. I'd never ever take them out of my pocket if i ever find that. I know they are designed for professionals and using a mic isn't intended but they are so good I want to use them always.
Just got these today. I’ve had a few really nice IEMs, including Campfire Andromeda, ultimate ears, some customs and multi driver BA ones. These sound really nice. A lot of detail, clarity and balance. Put some Spinfit tips on and I love these. I’ll be using them for live monitoring this weekend and that will be the ultimate test. If these are this good, I’m wondering how good the IE 400 and 500 must sound. Have them on a burn in track now (just in case). I certainly recommend these.
I just got one few days ago, , transparent version ,when I listen the sound got very disappointed (not clear) but after I change the ear memory foam , l feel like a from hell to heaven !
pros: wide soundstage, sparkling highs. cons: very recessed and thin mid range, too much of v sounding, cable wears easily in excess daily use. tuned them by using third party tips (final audio type e) been using them for two years now and i think they are ok for the price
they sound fantastic. blown away by the natural and neutral sound quality. the seal fit in your ear is effortless and they stay locked in the most fantastic way. you can actually feel the bass being delivered as well as hear all of the nuances in the mid, upper mid and there is no sibilance at all even at the loudest levels. basically everything Sennheiser says about these is true. i have Audiofly AF-180's which are great and cost $499 and i'm telling now these are better, especially for a live stage vocalist application. i cannot recommend these highly enough. if you don't get this complete redesign of a single dynamic driver then you are most assuredly missing the boat. the separation and isolation are incredible.
Hi, Chris, in terms of sound signature and tonal balance, How do you compare this with the shure se215? I like the 215's sound signature because its similar to the warm Sennheiser house sound. I love the mids presentation of the shure too. I'm Very interested in this IE40 pro, but there is almost no information about It. Thanks in Advance.
@@Gatominobaldo i bought them immediately and have never looked back. they easily beat the se215's in every conceivable way. there is no comparison. these things are no joke.
@@Feedbach they are very durable. well built. they look great, feel great, lock onto your ears in no time flat and they do not stick out. i am absolutely blown away by them. the sound quality is absolutely to die for. i still don't believe they are $99 but since i perform on stage with them every show now I don't see how I could want to use anything else. the only thing cheap about them are the price and that's it.
put it this way, I have and used to use exclusively Audiofly AF-180's which are quite impressive. they cost quite a bit more and now I no longer use them. i still can't believe this is a single dynamic driver. remarkable indeed.
@@anothername8107 airpods are not for music. They are good for videos, podcasts and very easy to use. This is the reason why i do not sell them having sennheiser.
..i just knew about Sennheiser and i fell in love with it sounds produces..plus..its prices are cheaper with its sounds qualities if comparing to the other legendary brand...my personal verdict..
It's a good IEM for live applications, which is what it's intended for. But a lot of you might want to purchase it for music listening or maybe to do both. And I gotta say... it's gonna be difficult with the latter. If you are thinking about listening to music with these, then you're in for treble murder. You can check out the graph at rtings, that confirms this. The cymbals are way too splashy and vocals often time sound too harsh as well. Some songs sounds pretty good, like Would? or Spoonman, but they are notorious for not having a lot of treble. And even with those you might get ear fatigue. They come with some foam in the ear tips and I tried adding more, like a lot, it kind of worked, but they are still waaay too bright. And I can't say that I'm treble sensitive. Just my 2 cents, letting you guys know.
he said that he has tried the Shures but then seemed to be new to the connection on the Senn, which is the same as the Shure. I don't know I just love my SE215's they sound like my m50. good bass
they are not the same. i've tried 4 different mmcx connectors and none of them work because the connecting point is a bit longer on the Sennheiser connectors making them proprietary. i have no problems with that because the cable design is practically unbreakable. the sound quality, fit and comfort level for the ie40 pro's are unmatched. you either get them and will quickly agree or find a reason to not buy them in which case you're missing the boat, pure and simple.
@@tylerdavisremax The Sennheiser uses a proprietary (and improved) design of the Mmcx connector, it's more secure and rated for more longevity than a regular mmcx connector
would love to know how these compare to the more expensive IE-400 PROS ? unfortunately the local shop that sells both models wont allow customers to try them out because i guess they would become used items once removed from packaging :(
Design-wise, they're pretty similar to the Shure SE215. And I've found that EQ-wise as well, the 215s are very similar as well (the buttery smoothness).
So would theses be an uprade or downgrade from IE80's(of which the RH speaker has issues) or just a more affordable replacement for much the same sound signature??
They sound great, very clear and powerfull..but is a pain when get inserted in ear, they lose the isolation easely, the shape is not that great, even kz stay better in ear. They have also a annoying microphonics with the cable, you cant listen music at low volume, you hear that microphonics above the music..bad because they sound amazing.
@@danmasaj i have never had an isolation issue. selecting the right tips AND don't forget there are two different "notch" points on the iem which will make them go to a different depth inside of your ear. i've used KZ's they def don't stay inside of the ear better in my view. i listen to volume at low level all of the time. it's a shame you are less than thrilled for these $99 iems.
@@ropodope Thanks for answer, i like how the sound , is amazing.I tried all the tips inside but no right for me..i will buy a double or triple flange tips..happy new year.

I got some of these this pass weekend I played 4 hours in the afternoon and 2 hour show at night . Amazing sound and so comfortable . Sennheiser did it again wonderful Product for the price . They are very small and light weight. That’s what I liked the most . But they pack a huge sound .
not true. The Shure's use an mmcx connector. these look like the same but they are not. other mmcx connectors cannot be interchanged with these because the connecting point is a good bit longer making them proprietary in a sense. these connectors also are designed to be unbreakable and to easily be released in case they get yanked from a user's ear. i find that to be quite true.
"Would you say these would be better than say the ATH-M50x?" What do you mean "better"? Better sounding? Don't think these In-Ears sound better than the ATH-M50X Over-Ears.
Yeah. Mono signals play from both earphones. If you want different things in each ear, you can check the Roland CS-10EM in ears which come with separate plugs for L and R.
The whole time I thought you were going to demonstrate the sound quality with a fake silicon ear and a tiny mic, on a tiny mic stand, to capture the sound coming from the back of the ear
Hi everybody. Anyone knows if these are also good for cameraman who is monitoring the sound of his video recording or are good only for artists on stage?

As they have decent low end, would these be good for a touring bassists IEM?
They sound way better than the Shure SE215. You can hear every detail with them. And their very clear where the Shure's is muddy sounding.

Do you think it is the sound of this IEM and Sennheiser Wireless mic is a good combination?
Design-wise, they're pretty similar to the Shure SE215. And I've found that EQ-wise as well, the 215s are very similar as well (the buttery smoothness).
So between the two which would you pick, im assuming their both MMXC so i would be able to use Mee audio cables
@@Feedbach These Sennheiser are way better than the SE215. The SE215's sound muffled to me compared to the ie 40/100 pros.
I need this for my recording
Thanks for the review. I think I will get them!,
How good are they for actually protecting your ears?
that was SUPER helpful thanks !
So would theses be an uprade or downgrade from IE80's(of which the RH speaker has issues) or just a more affordable replacement for much the same sound signature??
I'm trying to maybe use these for video editing, thoughts??

Would love to see you review kz zst in ears... In my opinion awesome 2 driver in ears for low budget

Please review the MME in ears I think they are amazing and only £40
What about the sound leakage ?? Would somebody hear your music if they are next to you ??
nope, they are in ears with silicone tips. So next to no sound will escape your ear or through the back of the in ears.
How's the sound isolation? Isn't that one of the most important parts?
sound isolation is off the chain. they are absolutely wonderful.
these are smooooooooth. butter.
How does this compare to ibasso IT01
Do they come with an adaptor to use for interface monitors ? Like the scarlet ?

The shure se215 has the same connector. Very similar design. Nothing new.

not true.

Are there any cables with a mic that work with them?
Is it true that the earbuds pop off easily from the cable? If yes, could this be a problem during walking?
No, it's not the case for me. Mine just works perfectly.
Any good for classical music?
What studio monitors do you use?
What about the noise isolating for drummers?
Was wondering the same thung
i got it today
how to verify it?
i scran qr & got senneshier offical link
is it 100% orginal
Could you please check etymotics?
Is it better than ie8i?
But how are the bass and sub bass?
Would you say these would be better than say the ATH-M50x?
yes and a much easier locked in feel to your ears. they are in a word freaking unreal.
"Would you say these would be better than say the ATH-M50x?"
What do you mean "better"? Better sounding? Don't think these In-Ears sound better than the ATH-M50X Over-Ears.
If I plug these into a Sennheiser G3 reciever (mono) will I get signal from both monitors or do I need a different cable?
Yeah. Mono signals play from both earphones. If you want different things in each ear, you can check the Roland CS-10EM in ears which come with separate plugs for L and R.
Is this right choice for just listening music from phone? thx
Chibukozoss yes
I'm using it with Samsung Galaxy S4 and it works perfectly fine for me.
lol what sennheiser did IS the industry standard mmcx connector. That 2 prong shit isn't.
