Thread: Sennheiser IE4 earphones

IE4 is a seasoned old timer among earbuds, which was first unveiled back in 2005. The model is still in Sennheiser lineup and is used by musicians in wireless monitoring systems, while music fans see this particular model as the best upgrade of standard headphones for a player.

In comparison with blister packaging of inexpensive earbuds the wrapping of IE4 does not look respectable enough, so you cannot use it as a present. A case would have been also welcome, but the manufacturer did not care much. All in all it is just an OEM packaging.



The body of headphones is identical with CX series apart from the radical black color. Coupled with black colored tips and a cable they look stylish. The body is made of metal and boasts off impeccable build quality.

The cable is soft and light. The microphone effect is observed, but you can carry headphones with the cable up or down. According to heavy users this model can survive almost two years of unmerciful operation. The angled connector is quite imposing. By the way, the cable can easily tangle.
