Key design points for the IE range vs competition. Why Sennheiser opted for single-driver dynamic designs
- Wide frequency range
- Better sound quality
- Less distortion overall
- Less distortion at higher volumes
- High reliability
- Small size vs Bulbous
It has become a myth that multiple driver designs are necessary for high-end in-ear headphones. Not True! The reality is that a well-engineered single drive-unit can cover the full audible frequency range and beyond, while outperforming multi-way designs and eliminating the many phase and distortion problems introduced by crossovers and multiple drive units. Highly-advanced single-driver-design The IE series use advanced technology dynamic transducers that cover the entire frequency range with one drive-unit - even
tricky basslines and thunderous sound effects separate themselves clearly in the mix. This design eliminates the distortion from crossovers and multiple drivers, that detracts from the integrity of the original source material.
Multiple ear-adapters
Depending on model, between six and twelve different types and sizes of ear-adapter are supplied to provide a custom fit and seal out
ambient noise. New double flanged ear adapters, offer personalised fit and noise isolation Up to 26db isolation from external noise
Good isolation further enhances precise audio reproduction; the top-of-the-range IE 8 can reach up to 26 dB of noise attenuation. The other models up to 20 dB.
Robust professional design
All the models in the IE range feature robust and functional design. Each headphone is equipped with a case, small cleaning tool
and a cable clip. All are iPhone compatible. Very high-efficiency on all models increases battery life on portable players
Everything compatible
Use with MP3, iPod, iPhone, DVD, CD players, mobile phones (3.5 mm jack plug) Use for pro-monitoring with 24-bit pocket recorders
Silent Kevlar Cables - reinforced for strength The IE series use a thin and flexible cable with very low mechanical noise. Nonetheless, this cable comes with integrated Kevlar™ fibres for strength and offers the high quality and reliability expected from professional products.
Ear clips supplied for optional use

The IE8 bass tuning functionality is patented-applied for. It works by adjusting a screw to modify the diameter of a pipe that allows
more or less air to exit a cavity behind the transducer. If more air can get out (open), the diaphragm can swing further (less resistance from compressed air) and can therefore generate more bass. And vice versa. Sennheiser IE 7: Classic Balanced Sound £169.99
