The big reveal

Enjoy the music you love like never before with the smallest details unmasked

Maybe it’s three extra notes in a bass line you’d never noticed. Or that flute playing a quiet melody in the background. Every time you discover a new musical flourish in a favorite track, it’s like finding buried treasure.

The tonal balance of the IE 200 showers you with these gifts. Because our engineers spent considerable effort to eliminate the peaks and troughs that can otherwise swallow up or overshadow a particular note. It’s an upgrade for your entire music collection.

Pure joy for audiophiles, too

This time, accessibility does not mean compromise

Die-hard audio fans have little patience for “bathtub” sound: that’s a profile that rises dramatically at the bass and treble ends (the frequency response curve looks like a bathtub!) You’ll find nothing of the sort with the exquisitely neutral IE 200.

In tuning these in-ears, our engineers pulled out all the stops to achieve a diffuse-field equalized response that comes exceptionally close to the ideal. It’s quite an achievement for in-ears. Now you can take real audiophile sound with you everywhere.

Wires have never been this sexy

For ultimate sound quality and dependability, nothing beats a cable

No matter how amazing your wireless earbuds are, you still have to charge them. With the IE 200, all you need to remember is to plug them in. Ahh, and when you do … you’ll be completely enveloped in a world of brilliantly balanced sound. Full of detail and presence like you’ve never experienced.

Graceful, all-black aesthetics perfectly reflect this devotion to fidelity. The highly adaptable chassis fits comfortably in any ear, from large to even very small — underscoring our clear intent to make audiophile sound accessible to anyone and everyone.

Built around the True Response

At the heart of the IE 200 lies a mini-transducer so exceptional, it also drives our most renowned in-ears

The IE 200 takes advantage of some of the best in-ear technology we have to offer. The 7mm extra-wideband True Response transducer, for instance, exhibits virtually no harmonic distortion at all. That’s why you’ll also find it in our IE 300, IE 600 and IE 900.

This dynamic driver reproduces transients with great precision across the entire frequency range — so you can hear exactly what the sound engineer intended. The snare drum cuts through the mix like it’s supposed to; close your eyes, and lifelike sibilants make it feel like the vocalist is in the room, singing just for you.

Choose your own bass

Dual-tunable ear tips let you pick the bass response you like best

When it comes to lower frequencies, some like it a little heavier. To truly appeal to everyone, the IE 200 gives you the option to tune your earphones to your taste. Simply mount the ear tips in one of two positions to determine how much low end reaches your ears.

It's just one more reason the IE 200 is destined to make music lovers happy the world over. For jazz, EDM, classical, or punk rock — now everyone can experience high-resolution, audiophile sound. And if you like, with a little extra punch down low.

FAQ

Can I use my iPhone or Android phone with the IE 200?

Yes, but you will need a lightning or USB Type C adapter.

Does the IE 200 need an amplifier?

Any 3.5mm headphone jack should power the IE 200 fine. Its impedance is only 18 Ohms.

Is the cable for the IE 200 detachable?

Yes. The IE 200 uses MMCX connectors, making them compatible with most cables of its type. 

Is the IE 200 a balanced IEM?

Not with its stock cable, as it only comes with a 3.5mm unbalanced connector.

Does the IE 200 have noise cancelation?

The IE 200 has no noise-canceling function, but it should be naturally isolating.
