The verdict

Sennheiser really nails it on excellent isolation, proving that you don't need apps and noise cancellation to quiet the world. In a highly digital world, the aluminum housing reminds us that humans still like nicely made objects. The in-ear monitors provide great sound quality, but one wonders if the IE 900 is merely an exercise in prestige or actually worth the price.

✓Liked: Excellent sound quality, Build quality, Detachable cables

✕Could be better: Price, Sound is highly fit dependent
