Frisch ausgepackt: Die filigranen Sennheiser IE 500 PRO

May 28, 2019 Jürgen Kraus (Calgary, Canada)

The single dynamic-driver Sennheiser IE 500 PRO are the company’s new top-of-the line professional in-ear-monitors. They were kindly provided by Sennheiser USA on loan for my joint review with Biodegraded [review]. Thank you very much. In the meantime, you find our review of their competent smaller brother, the very reasonably priced Sennheiser IE 40 PRO (black) HERE. Both earphones share the same small dimensions. Below some photos…note the proprietary connector, which works very well. You find more information on Sennheiser’s product page.

Sennheiser IE 500 PRO and Sennheiser IE 40 PRO earpieces — The Sennheiser IE 40 PRO (black) in comparison: no difference in dimensions.
