Sennheiser IE 500 Pro In-Ear Monitors, Smoky Black

Full Description

Next-Generation TrueResponse Transducer Technology

Compact, powerful, and warm. Sennheiser's newly-developed TrueResponse technology delivers incredible sound directly to you. Boasting a single unique dynamic driver measuring only 7mm, the IE 500 Pro IEMs let you experience true high-resolution audio with unmatched clarity. An ultra-wide frequency response ranging from deep down at 6Hz all the way up to 20kHz combined with the physical air-movement of a dynamic design gives you precise, neutral sound that you can feel.

Each IEM features a system of magnets with unique triple-duct ventilation. This intelligent architecture prevents acoustic stress. The result? An incredibly-low distortion factor of 0.08-percent, meaning you can monitor with confidence. Even at high SPLs up to a huge maximum of 126dB. No more worrying about unwanted artefacts, overlapping frequencies, and nasty resonance or feedback peaks that you'd often experience with armature drivers. Just pure sonic excellence, giving you studio sound no matter where you are.

Natural Sound with Impact and Clarity

Perfect for even the loudest of environments. The Sennheiser IE 500 Pro In-Ear Monitors represent Sennheiser's MoreMe philosophy. They let you hear exactly what you want to hear with outstanding definition and detail. Even at high sound pressure levels, the IE 500 Pros give you sound with the finest resolution, all without distortion. A strong and transparent mid-range with rich content and plenty of impact gives you a nuanced reproduction of vocals, instrumentation, and more. You'll be able to hear every detail, giving you a more immersive listening experience.

The Perfect Fit

Comfort isn't just a luxury. It's a necessity. The IE 500 Pro IEMs ensure you can monitor with confidence, whether you’re on stage or on the move. Thanks to the compact transducer design, Sennheiser have been able to create an IEM solution with a unique flat design that sits comfortably in your ears for every single occasion. Even for energetic performances and long listening sessions, these intelligently-designed monitors stay secure to give you the ultimate monitoring experience.

Silicone and viscoelastic memory foam tips are provided with the IE 500 Pros, both of which adapt to the structure and depth of your ear canal for a reliable fit. The IEMs also boast a detachable twisted-pair cable, providing excellent resistance against structure-born noise. Combined with durable and innovative cable ducting with a deep-set connector and ergonomic driver housings, these high-performance IEMs remain comfortable and durable, even when used for several hours.

Reviews

"The low-end is absolutely gorgeous: it has a realistic speed (decay not too fast), and is well extended and well controlled right down to the lowest frequencies. Texture and resolution are superb and there is always a subtle rumble underneath the pleasantly warm bass. Mid-bass features a slight punch which my ears got used to quickly, it is not overdone, although still boosted above neutral. Some might say, the bass is not very impactful and deserves a more forceful attack, but this works out positively when turning up the volume in professional applications. Audiophiles may find the bass too strong, others too weak. Best low end I have heard in an earphone." — Audio Reviews.
