A NEW BENCHMARK IN PERSONAL AUDIO

Introducing the new flagship IE 900 earphone from Sennheiser. Sennheiser headphones have long appealed for audiophiles, and their earphones can compete with the best of them. Replacing the IE 800S, the IE 900 embodies the peak of German audio engineering and manufacturing. Every aspect of the IE 900 has been engineered to work in harmony to achieve the desired acoustic tuning and to reduce resonances and masking effects. From the optimized 7mm transducers and innovative X3R resonator chamber technology to the precision-manufactured aluminum housing — every facet of the IE 900 is engineered to deliver the most pure, natural, and excellent sound that is brimming with detail. In fact, "every detail matters" was a guiding principle in the creation of the IE 900.

  • New benchmark in portable audio
  • Ultimate precision & craftsmanship
  • Made in Germany
  • X3R technology: TrueResponse transducer combined with three Helmholtz resonator chambers and acoustic vortex
  • Precision-milled and anodized aluminum housing
  • Hand-assembled at Sennheiser´s headquarters
  • Gold-plated Fidelity (+) MMCX connectors for improved stability
  • Choice of para-aramid reinforced cables (2.5 mm, 3.5 mm, 4.4 mm)
  • Adjustable ear hooks and choice of ear adapters including memory foam
  • Frequency response: 5 Hz - 48,000 Hz
  • THD: 0.05% (1 kHz, 94 dB)
  • Impedance: 16 ohms

Chambered Design for Transparent Sound

Sennheiser has made it their goal to achieve a transparent sound with no distracting peaks or troughs. This requires a clear separation of lows and mids. To ensure accuracy across this critical frequency band, these IEMs utilize an acoustic back volume, a small chamber within a chamber tuned to manage the slope and amplitude of the base lift. This controls the direction and overall volume of the air as it moves through the transducer system.

What you hear is a pleasantly disciplined bass and mid-range experience. Unpleasant resonances and listening fatigue vanish in this small space with a big effect.

Tuned for Perfection

The inherent compromises multi-driver systems require (phase issues and the resulting distortion in overlapping frequency bands) necessitated a single dynamic driver. To tune this driver correctly, Sennheiser designed a sophisticated system of three Helmholtz resonators and dubbed it the X3R.

The X3R is milled right into the solid aluminum housing of each earphone. Tiny channels eliminate resonance peaks, which, in less advanced products, would color the sound signature and alter the feel of your music. In addition, Sennheiser has fashioned a complex Vortex structure into the nozzle of each earphone. This swirls acoustic energy in problematic frequency bands to smooth out peaks.

Quality Cabling & Multiple Jacks

In addition to outstanding sound, audiophiles appreciate durable products that are made to last. Here, the IE 900 excels. Gold-plated Fidelity+ MMCX connectors ensure perfect contact. Each termination is seated within a recessed, 4.8mm-wide socket below the surface of the housing, providing strain relief.

The cables themselves are para-aramid reinforced to withstand many thousands of bend cycles. Connect to practically any digital audio source with the 3.5mm stereo plug including headphone amps, laptops, and audio interfaces. Each pair of IE 900s also includes symmetrical 2.5mm and 4.4mm cables for plugging directly into hi-fi components with balanced outputs.

Comfortable Fit

Working musicians rely on high-quality, form-fitting earphones known as personal monitoring systems. But Sennheiser believes the privilege of enjoying perfect live sound should not be the exclusive right of the performers of the world. So, they took the comfort and secure fit of professional solutions as inspiration for the IE 900.

Now you can enjoy a fit and quality that rival what artists who create your music experience. Included with the IE 900 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.
