The verdict

The Sennheiser IE 200 lends some authority to your analytic listening sessions with its relatively subdued frequency response that works for casual listening too. That it's easy wearing for hours at a time is no small feat, and the sturdy over-ear cabling ensures a solid fit. With a price that's relatively affordable, it opens up a niche market to newcomer enthusiasts and pros.

✓What we like
✓Comfortable fit
✓Para-aramid MMCX cable is replaceable
✓Good sound
✓Decent isolation
✓Memory foam ear tips
✕What could be better
✕Quieter bass response is not for everyone
✕Replacement Sennheiser cables aren't cheap
✕Getting the fit wrong drastically alters the frequency response
