The driving force of the IE 300 is a refined version of our Extra Wide Band (XWB) 7mm transducer, revered for its breathtaking acoustic performance in a deceptively compact package. A new blend of materials in the diaphragm improves its rest-and-response times for greater accuracy throughout the frequency spectrum. When resonances are minimized, the enhanced speed brings clarity to higher frequencies, subtly warm mids, and clean bass response with low harmonic distortion. Transients are tight without harsh frequency smearing, letting vocals retain their silky character directly from the master recording to your mind. The XWB transducers reproduce sound that is completely unique to the Sennheiser audiophile legacy—which is no surprise as they are developed and manufactured with exacting precision at our world-class facility in Germany. Although diminutive in size, its output sounds larger-than-life, offering intimate access to your favorite tracks.
