  • The Sennheiser IE 300 is the company’s audiophile answer to their own PRO series. It is leaning strongly on the Sennheiser IE 400 PRO, sonically, with a warm and safe signature retaining the 400’s bass boost.

    Another Good Review by the Good Dr. Many thanks.
    I have both these and the IE800 from a few years back.
    And I am glad to say that these IE300 sound better. More linear, tighter faster bass, and better mid freq transparency. And much cheaper also. Cheers

    Excellent review, appreciate the comparison. I have the opportunity to purchase the IE400 for much lower than the IE300 (deep sale). Im curious if the graphing for the IE300 was done with the supplied tips, or the spin fits?

    I bought these very recently, it has been a long time since I used a Sennheiser. Some lukewarm reviews put me off trying them which was foolish of me. I wish I had bought them earlier, I was very surprised at how good they sound to me. I think they're a bargain at their current price.

    I like your review a lot and as a German I understand you very got with your accent. ;)
    It is interesting you also are not satisfied with the Tips. Did you ever try the Beyerdynamics Xelento Tips? They go up to 3XL and they snuggle up more to the funnel of the ear canal. With the 4 gr the IE 300 and also the IE 900 are amazing in comfort waering them and provide best seal with those Tips.

    • @audioreviews
      @audioreviews  Před 3 lety +1

      Beyerdynamic Should Byrd is the only one I could think of...it is about 80 Euros, sounds ok, but lacks detail. The earpieces are very small, light, and comfortable.
      I bought it as an open box from amazon.ca for $58 CAD.

    Sounds like the kind of tuning I'd like. Have you tried the IE 80 S? I know it's quite old now, but I'm curious how it compares to the other Sennheisers. The Bluetooth version is massively discounted now in the UK to under £100, and the Bluetooth element can be replaced with a conventional wire.

      IE 400 Pro is just clearer version of IE 80 S, detail retrieval almost same, bass little punchier.

      Aonics has superior midrange clarity than both IE PROs

    Hello sir, I need your help here.
    I listened to IE 500 PRO for few hours and while I was super impressed with its soundstage and sub bass response, It became uncomfortable for me with its (high frequency) sound. It was bright and fatiguing for me so I returned it, it was genuine purchase from Amazon India and I verified it with Sennheiser too.
    I listen to DD iems from Shure (SE 215) and Sennheiser IE 80 S.
    I am planning to decide between these two IEMs IE 300 and IE 400 PRO. The one will softer treble response, least fatiguing (treble) sound would be my choice.

    • @audioreviews
      @audioreviews  Před 3 lety +7

      At the same price, I would buy the IE 400 PRO.
      Reasoning: Made in Germany, more comfortable through longer nozzles, and better eartips.
      The sonic differences are negligible imo.

    too v-shaped sound and thunderous bass which is a bit muddy, the recessed mids make the upper highs piercing and the lows lacking in attack. the tonality is spot on and the soundstage is great though! in their price range i do prefer many other iems, so the best for me are the ie 40pro, in the 90 euro range they are hard to beat
