Air Traffic Control
A key element of the IE 300’s balanced acoustical performance is the back volume—a miniature room-within-a-room that helps manage the flow of air. The direction and overall volume of air is controlled with precision as it travels through and exits the acoustical system. Further, a frequency absorbing resonator chamber was applied to overcome masking effects that regularly occur in the ear canal, unearthing nuanced audio details previously buried in the source signal.
It’s All About Connection
Sennheiser’s engineers were tasked with delivering peerless sound AND dependability.
They started with ultra-durable gold-plated Fidelity+ MMCX cable connectors and seated each within a recessed, 4.8mm-wide socket for outstanding strain relief. The para-aramid reinforced cable is rated for thousands of bend cycles, adding exceptional durability to the overall listening experience. Included are (3) sizes of silicone ear tips and (3) sizes of memory foam ear tips to conform to the unique shape of your ear canal, maximizing noise isolation.
Let’s take a look at the specifications...
- Frequency response: 6 – 20,000 Hz
- Impedance: 16 Ohms
- THD: <0.08%
- Sensitivity: 124dB at 1 kHz, 1V
- Cable: 1 meter (3.3 feet) total
- Included accessories: (3) pairs of silicone ear adapters (S/M/L), (3) pairs of memory foam ear adapters (S/M/L), cleaning tool, deluxe travel case

This is my 2nd Sennheiser product, the previous being the HD 598 SE open-back headphones, and I am very satisfied. This review just gives an overall picture and focuses on the sound, which is just sublime. Another point of note is that these earphones cannot be said to have an audiophile sound - although it definitely has audiophile-grade quality and build - because I understand an audiophile signature to be more neutral, more unforgiving and exact. This leans towards purely music lovers, anyone who can appreciate phenomenal sound reproduction of their favourite music - as the box says, "High-fidelity earphones for sophisticated music enjoyment".
First off, the sound that's produced from these are amazing. Music, videos, games, everything sounds great from these IEMs, and even better if you plug them into an amp. Despite the amazing sound, it's quite obvious after the first couple seconds of plugging these headphones into multiple different connections, that I was either given a faulty pair, or this product line is just complete trash. The left bud crackles randomly and the audio will completely cut out from time to time, even when you are sitting still and not moving your head / cables. Also, like other people have pointed out, anything the cable rubs up against while the buds are in your ears, will cause instant ASMR in your ear hole. My shirt, my desk, my arms and anything else the cable touches all make lovely disrupting sounds in my ear when wearing these. Usually this is pretty easy to ignore, however during a long video or if using these while gaming, it can be very distracting and ruin immersion entirely.
Don't buy these unless you want to play the lottery with your IEMs. You may not have any experience like mine and the countless other people who are in the same boat as me, but why don't you go check on their support links with Amazon. Oh, and their phone number linked their too. It's all disconnected, and Senn hasn't responded to my email that I sent days ago through their newly hidden contact center. You are SOL if your product dies after the 30 days, so best of luck.

Los más cómodos IEM que he probado
Sonido cálido y buen punch de bajos
EQ V shape
Super recomendados sin dudarlo
Once I got them I tried the smallest foam ear tips cause my ear canal are extremely small and they are pleasant to wear that it fits like a glove for me! Extremely lightweight cause of the plastic build and compact shape. The cable has this memory retention thing which is annoying to get used to but it actually makes the IEMs stay in my ears forever without budging.
For sound quality I would say this is a very fun and enjoyable listening experience. It is not trying to be a flat and accurate tuning here, so do not consider this product if that is what you look for. It feels like I am listening through headphones because it has a nice sense of space around you with good imaging and presentation for vocals. I thought I would not like this tuning cause I enjoy vocals the most with my music but there is just something about these that make it feel special. When it comes with female vocals that sound soft, it just feels so dreamy with these IEMs it makes me melt (Example: MISIA - Everything). And even though the vocalist is not in your head, it is more like they are in front of you like you are on stage with them as they perform because of the soundstaging this is capable of. Even though vocals are not as intimate as I like, they still get that spotlight with these IEMS. However, these do lack the timbre of like other Sennheiser series like 58X, 6XX, and 660S, which is what I miss a lot but the IE 300 are still so so so much fun to listen to. Sometimes with the highs it does hurt my ears but that is when I listen to music at higher volumes than normal. Oh there is also a lot of bass. It says it can go all the way down to 6hz and I believe it. I thought I was a basshead but man it is WAYYYYY too powerful for my liking. But... It is also awesome when you in the mood for it lol (Example: ZHU - Only).
So was it worth for $280? Heck yeah! What about $400? Now that is a tough choice cause there is many other options you could pick in that price range. I personally would have bought these over anything else because I prioritize comfort more than sound quality when it comes to IEMs cause I enjoy long hours of listening and being active without worrying they will fall out. For me these IEMs are all that I could ask for which is why I give them a high praise.
One thing I absolutely hate about these IEMs is the recessed MMCX connector... Sennheiser you guys thought you were so cool making them detachable and swapping out cables but nope. You guys suck for doing that. I love this cable but not everyone does.
Oh yeah I am running this off of a BTR5 non-balanced, stock foam tips, and sources are FLAC files and Spotify streaming. Does not need a lot of power so this and the Apple Dongle would be the best pairing for the money.
Update [10/18/2021]: I voided my warranty and used an exacto knife to shave off the R&L colour indicators which also makes the MMCX connectors recessed. I did it so I can use FiiO's UTWS3s and IT WORKS muahahahah. I recently found out about the UTWS5 but I am happy with mine since it is enough to power the IE300s (but if reviewers say it's amazing to upgrade I wouldn't mind getting it...). So now I have very amazing TWS earphones that are lightweight and comfy :D
I was unable to get a good seal with any of the included tips as well as my own (i have 7 different sets of tips - none of them fitted, too small for some reason)
The connectors seemingly at random would cut in and out
I was unable to confirm the sound quality due to poor seal, however it did have a very poppy feel to what Ive heard so far even without a good seal
If youre planning to buy this, be ready to fork up some more bucks for additional replacement parts
Después de probar con varias de las almohadillas incluidas encontré el par que mejor se ajustaron y con esas ya se escuchan mucho mejor. No soy experto pero no tengo quejas de la calidad del sonido.
Las cosas que me decepcionaron un poco fueron que no son tan cómodos porque tienen que estar muy ajustados para que se escuchen bien y por lo tanto cansan rápido. Tampoco me gustó que el cable transmite mucho las vibraciones/fricción y se escucha cuando te mueves.
Lo tercero es un detalle con el control de calidad. Uno de los auriculares no venía bien conectado y al moverte se cortaba el sonido, ese problema se solucionó desconectando el cable (es removible) y volviéndolo a conectar.
The sound quality is what I'd call "premium vanilla". It doesn't have much in the way of personality, it's mostly flat with limp bass (even with a big EQ boost the bass is still soft), but it's clean, detailed, and transparent. The sense of soundstage is relatively wide, for an IEM. I've also tried the IE600, and those were similar, but even cleaner and more detailed--though I think the IE300 is the better value, especially if on sale.
I've had them for many months now, but haven't been using them much in the winter, because I find it painful to wear a hat over an IEM (and when I'm indoors at home I prefer using open-backs). The hat over my ears adds extra pressure onto my ears, and it starts to hurt after about 5 minutes. Apart from that, they're a very good portable headphone option, they pack a lot of sound quality into a small package.
