    The form factor of the IE Senn series is so attractive to me. I do not like the chunky fit of most ChiFi IEM's and I've tried two now. The large nozzles are especially not welcomed.

    HOLY SHIT. Your comment about the tips not sealing properly just changed my opinion of the IE300s by a absolutely huge amount. They were so off sounding and sibilant to me this whole time. Swapped tips and boom. What the hell. I can't believe that was why this whole time. They felt sealed!

  • @Spin3l3ssJ3lly
    @Spin3l3ssJ3lly Рік тому +11

    Ok, so ...yeah. In my experience there's a bass richness that is pleasant, not a lot of punch but certainly a full-bodied sound. Lower mids are slightly muddy to my ears, but that impacts mostly spoken language, podcasts, youtube videos etc; music sounds generally good all across that part of the spectrum. There's a slight hint of sibilance in the higher mids, maybe that (in combination with the lack of definition) is what Mark refers to as "swishiness". Treble is tame but is there, not the most incisive but still clear and extended. Technically, the only things that stands out to me are imaging and soundstage, the first because is certainly better that what you find in the budget segment of the market and the second because ...I can hear it! (being generally insensitive to soundstage in headphones and iems it's a nice surprise). Detail is no better than what you find in the sub-100$ segment of the market, but not worse either. Generally a decent IEM, if it were priced similarly to, say, the Hexa we would have much to talk about but at double the price it's not really competitive. And yes, change tips, the foam tips provided will do the job but impact negatively the sense of clarity and detail.

  • @ROCKSTAR3291

    The IE200 are my favorite IEM, not because of sound quality (they sound good enough, and I can't fully pay attetion to the sound while walking / working anyway) but because of the excellent comfort and design. The look clean and professional, and the comfort is simly unmatched. They are just a perfect pair of earphones to use at work and on the go and that's why I bought them.

      I was playing around with EQ yesterday using Squiglink Auto EQ and frankly, i can easily see why so many people adore the IE200 and 600. I know this isn't like 1:1 comparison but the way these 2 are tuned, no surprise it appeals to so many people. Frankly, i prefer the tuning of these two over everything else Crinacle has graphed and may even pull the trigger on the 200's since there is a local deal for 70$. If they sound even 90% of what just testing the tuning with Auto EQ is, thats a W. It has clearer vocals and bass boost without being obnoxious.

    I already have IE600 and as hailed by some reviewers was tempted to have a cheaper version of IE600 for travels and daily use. I almost stopped myself while pre-ordering IE200, looks like I made the right decision as these don't seem to live up to the hype. My issue with some reviewers is the unnecessary hype they create without testing them properly, pushing gullible consumers to pre-order/buy. That's why I appreciate Super* Review, it's late as compared to others but always a comprehensive and dependable one. No BS, just straight, objective and honest opinions.

TBH the best thing to do is wait for reviewer with the same preference, see if he likes it or not and go from their own word.

    Off topic question, any chance your making your way out east for CanJam NYC at the end of Feb ?
    If not any suggestions for iems - headphones to audition. Looking to upgrade my Hana 2021's (wish it's fit were more like the Hexa's longer thin nozzel ) but I do like the sound signature of the Hana's but have to shove them in deep to get the base. For a short nozzle it's not a good match for me.

    And when compared to the Letshouer s12 PRO? I saw someone saying that the Sennheiser is noticeably better in terms of sound quality and tuning. But when I listened to the demonstration of these two models here on UA-cam, I didn't notice that much of a difference. At least I didn't notice any big differences using good headphones (but that could be the compressed audio and UA-cam). The IE200 just seems to have more controlled treble and a slightly higher sub-bass. But like I said. You can't be 100% sure by listening to demos here on UA-cam.
    I'm very undecided between the two. All my headphones are from Sennheiser, I like the brand. But I know which one to choose: IE200 or s12 PRO.

    Just finished boxing these up, and I agree with your take on them. There are definitely strengths here, but the little downsides add up and I don't really feel like compromising at this price. The highs are swishy, the bass is nice and rich but doesn't have enough definition to the hits. In the end I feel like the Hexa does a lot of the same things just better and it's $80; feels more premium too, the IE200 feels like cheap plastic and the terrible cable doesn't help things.

I noticed that they also need more power than the Xelento or the u12t so i cut the plastic rings around mmcx connectors to be able to use some third party balanced cable. My AK sp1k now can power them properly from balanced out at around 110-115/150. The u12t need around 88-92/150 and the Xelentos even less.

      I think 100 would have been fine. Many cheaper chifi iems end up there anyways for a lot of people with shipping and import tax

      If an 80$ Olina se might sound better than this, than what's the debate?
      There'll possibly be 5 cheaper iems that'll sound better...
      I might've oversaid things by stating 50$..
      But with bare minimum and low quality accesories and cheap cable, it definitely shouldn't have been more than 80$.
