    From personal experience on using this for a month so far, i have not run into any issue. The sound is clear in both ear piece. Once i figure out how to use this over the ear style in eat buds, it is very comfortable once it situated in my ears and doesnt fall out nor does it hurt my ears like other earbuds Pros Confortability Clear sound Cons Takes abit to get used to the over the ear style of it Bass could be better Abit pricey

    Music sounds nice through these. I was hoping that it would sound better than my AirPods but I found the bass is kind of lacking the deep punch that I look for. Highs are clear and not too sharp. Mids sound kind of flat.

    Really happy with these. I have a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50x, and these sound pretty comparable in quality and frequency response, albeit with less sound stage (which should be obvious). Yet, they're insanely easier to carry around. Now, i can keep them in my bag and have them on hand for music production at any time of the day. Super cool. Only con; the wire is indeed pretty loud, so if you plan on using these at a desk, you'll be fine, but if you want to use them while moving or working out there are likely better options for you.

    My first impression of these was that of disappointment. On best buys website they advertise this product as having a cable with an inline media button but that is not what is included with the product. Speaking of the cable it feels cheap but it doesnt look like it will fall apart as the cable seems pretty strong wound. Although I dont know if its an issue with the cable or the actual iems themselves but any slight motion of the head creates a disconnect and cutting out of audio from one or both ears. The buds themselves are extremely small and comfortable though. I feel they would've been amazing for wearing while face down in a pillow if the audio didnt keep cutting out. Sound quality is pretty good if you create a proper seal with one of the many sets of both silicone and foam tips. The tuning seems fairly balanced with a bit of a bass boost but at least the bass doesnt sound boomy like many other iems. They do sound amazing for movies and tv shows if thay was what you wanted to use them for. They dont isolate much sound so that can either be a plus or a negative depending on the use case. If usung with a phone that still has a headphone jack, be aware of the reslly thick plastic body where thr 3.5 mm terminates. I was hoping for an iem comperable to my hd560s to take on the go where headphones would be a pain to carry but all these downsides make it just annoying to use. I think ill end up returning these.

    I have had a number of IEMs, Truthear Hola, Moondrop Aria, and a previous pair of these bad boys. I repurchased a new pair after something had occured, and I don’t regret rebuying them. I heavily encourage anyone interested in EDM/Electronic, or Metal, and other Rock music to buy a pair of IE200. However, my box did arrive damaged, but i put that aside due to the product being wonderful.

    I was expecting better. The sound was lean and clean but I have become spoiled by the wireless earbuds I own from budget to premium that have apps where I can adjust the sound to better serve my taste. Besides the sound which was not nearly full bodied enough for me I thought the provided cable was a bit cheesy and did not enhance but rather detracted from the overall use of these buds. I subsequently exchanged these buds for Soundcores wireless sleep earbuds because I was using and had hoped to use the sennheiser ie200's as sleep earbuds because if their small profile which they worked out pretty good for however the Soundcore sleep buds are much better for that purpose and the sound for for evenings is more pleasing to me along with the sleep aid sounds I'm still trying to get a handle on using effectively.

    These are fantastic IEMs. I didn’t give a 5 star simply due to the cable that comes with it. It’s noisy for a cable, definitely look at after market cables l. Otherwise these are great.

    TLDR: get the truthear hexa instead

    In all honesty, they're good and have good capabilities. I had to EQ the bass up to my preferences, to which it sounded fine after. But for over $120, i'd say it's not worth it. The ear loops are bendy to fit your ear right, which sounds good but they are stiff, so when you fit them on right and take them off, you will need to open them back up and rebend them back to sit on your ears right. Inconvenient. They actually hurt my ears after a while, which isn't good. The nozzle is pretty big, and the way the actual earpiece sat in my ear wasn't the best. I had to tilt it forward by like 30-40 degrees so the plastic doesn't hurt my ear after a while. The quality is cheap feeling for $100+. The nozzles rotate for some reason- it didn't serve purpose to me. I got the Truthear Hexa for $80 instead & returned these. They are more comfortable, the cable doesn't seem like it was carelessly designed, the nozzle is smaller which was helpful in not hurting my ears after a while, and the ear loops on the hexa are FLEXIBLE (meaning they have a fixed position that you stretch to put on, and when you let go it'll goback to its original positioning). I paid less for more with the Hexa. Although, i did also have to EQ the hexas to my bass preference as well. Not the biggest deal. As for the sound dispersion between the two (before EQing) , i think the IE 200 are better in the highs, like treble & voice. But the unmodified bass on the hexas are better

    Great audio quality, only down side is if you bend the cables too much at the top they look audio signal. But great for FPS type games. Would also recommend for stationary use, since the cables can be quite sensitive.

    Tried to like them but without modification they sounded average at best. Covering the bass port helped the non-existant bass but shouldn't have been necessary in the first place. Cheap feeling cable where the chin strap is a piece of clear plastic straw. The only benefit is that they are comfortable but all the other issues make them not worth the cost in my opinion. There are many other options for IEMs that sound as good or better for a fraction of the price.

    There are things in this world that I greatly treasure. Sunsets, love, kindness, and now the the Sennheiser IE 200. I've had many iems, from 7hz Timeless, to the U6T, and not one has done for me what the 200s have. I recently sold my Focal Clear OGs so I can afford the IE 600 which I will be purchasing as a result of having heard the creamy sweet tang of the IE 200.
