Without an IEC 711 coupler to verify what you actually received, buying these is essentially playing the lottery. I just happened to get a winning ticket this time, but the next batch could be complet

The IE900 is very impressive for the price. ...when I want something special, I go with the IE900.

I’ve got the 900s and they are far my most comfortable set given how small they are.

just now a new IE 900 popped up for 350€

I’ve seen a lot of counterfeit IE900 that 100% looks like the original. For peace of mind I’m only getting it from Sennheiser Hearing shop. It’s hella expensive though

One of the most telling signs is that there should be 3 mini circles in the nozzle. And the ie900 can't sit flush on the table. The driver weight won't let it sit on the side. Anyways always risky get

I got scammed for $750 on eBay for the IE 900 a couple of years ago. The photos looked totally authentic, but the product I received was a knockoff.

Esse ie900 eu ainda quero testar pra acreditar no que dizem kk não me entra na cabeça que a Sennheiser enfiou tanto som nessa coisa, mas os caras são a elite de engenharia.

IE 900 tem o preço de 1.500 dólares mesmo ? É ainda mais caro que os Andromeda e Ara da Campfire Audio ou quase 3x mais que um FH9.
r/audiofiliabrasilneutral1
o ie900 tem semrpe vendendo na olx por 5k, mas esse vai ser o preço mais baixo que vc vai achar

Z1r é um leve upgrade ao ie900 mas é um pouco pesado e pode cansar no ouvido … mas o som é fenomenal

It looks like you're trying to say the IE900 is the best, except your arrows are pointing the wrong way.

The bass is wonderful, but I find the mids and treble somewhat less natural, and overall they are not the most suitable for long listening sessions.
r/AVexchangepositive1
received IE900s from u/ahdez91. Excellent communication throughout and they arrived just as described.
r/AVexchangenegative1
have bad news, these may be counterfeit. can you snap a few better pics of the ie900 written on the backside and the actual sennheiser logos on the buds themselves?
