Apple dongle works as well as any other and is much cheaper than most other DAC-Amps on the market. Fwiw, as long as you're getting good volume out of it, you'll be really hard pressed to notice a change with another DAC, unless the DAC is completely changing the sound. Agree with the video that this is a great IEM, but I'd suggest 1) using their foam eartips - they seal better improving enjoyability and 2) upgrading the cable - while it doesn't affect sound, it'll reduce microphonics. That said, it's better to live with these IEMs for a bit before making any changes. If they sound good, then that's it. In audio world, returns diminish extremely steeply as price increases.
You're right - the Apple DAC is a solid performer, especially considering its price. However, it does have limitations, like being capped at 48kHz and lower power output. For those wanting to enjoy hi-res lossless tracks, a more capable DAC is essential to decode those higher-quality files. As for your suggestions on foam eartips and cable upgrades, spot on! While it's true that upgrades can enhance the experience, audio is a very subjective hobby. Some folks enjoy investing in TOTL cables, DACs, and IEMs, while others are content with the basics. At the end of the day, it's all about what works best for you. 🎧
It seems like every review i have watched on the ie 200 are very positive and there was also another reviewer who went as far as calling them baby ie 600s
Truthear Hexa or IE 200? Soundstage, imaging, and reliability are very important to me. Everyone is crazy about the Truthear Hexa; I want to know how the IE 200 stacks up against it.
Hexa's would be our pick! Does a way better job with imaging and soundstage as well. Apart from the IE600 you shouldn't consider other models due to tough competition in the IEM space currently.
Hey there, while these IEMs do not provide noise cancelling they do provide noise isolation, they isolate the sound inside the space so that it does not leak or reach set limits. Noise-isolation earbuds may block out extremely loud noises better than noise-cancelling ones. Hope this was helpful!
Hey, I'm actually looking forward to buy an IEM(Beginner) with thick bass ,can this one do justice to that? And also "if not" or else suggest some good earphones(with Kickass Bass) under 4K! 😅
Comparing the sound quality of the Sennheiser IE200 and the Headphone Zone x FiiO JD1 is a bit like comparing apples and oranges. They cater to different price points and have distinct tuning.
Hey I am looking to buy either the sennheiser ie 200 or the the hifiman hd400se. I really enjoy a wide soundstage l, it just wows me every time. Which one should I go for as a beginner in the audiophile space?
You shouldn't talk about sound stage in general with IEM. It is physical sense. So when comparing a headphone with earphones, they significantly have less sound stage. Assume Speakers are like 100 % Headphones will be in 15 % IEM will be in 3 to 5%
Hey @all, I have CX180 but only 1 earbud is working. As now cx180 is not available can anyone suggest any other alternative which has similar kind of small and very comfortable earbuds like Sennheiser cx180? I like the very lightweight small and comfortable earbuds of cx180. Please suggest. Thanks in advance!✨🙌🏻
IE200 is much more balanced as compared to the ATH E40. You'll get a nice bass texture on the IE200 as compared to the E40, IE200 is more about bass quality rather than quantity!
@@kirankuttan how's the cable? I m planning to buy Tangzu but there's no mic with it. Would replacing the cable with a rs 600 KZ cable affect the sound?
@@lowcrbnaman8596 cable quality is similar to the 500-600 range ones. Not the best. Make sure you buy one with 2 pin connector. KZ uses a slightly different type called C pin or QDC. And no it won't affect the quality.
@headphone_zone i used to have akg k371bt but they broke so now i want to buy sennhiser ie series i generally watchmovies, listen to the downloaded music from 3rd party app mp3 and play game (bgmi) in my Android mobile which has 3.5mm jack and has hi-fi support can i use these earphones for all these purposes?

Would love to see your review on the Sennheiser IE 100 pros

@Raghav please make detail review video of ie300 and 1custom junior
Well i am not an audiophile, I just need something that sounds nice and has good noise cancellation. Do you think these have good noise cancelling?

If bass is a preference, you should check out the QKZ x HBB - Hades which is a little over 4000/-
how the technical level compared to similar price?
IE 200 sets a new benchmark for technicality and price-to-performance ratio!
Is IE200 Balanced compatible?, does it make a difference?
Hey there, Unfortunately, the IE200 is not balanced compatible.
Hey currently I’m using CCA PLA 13
I wanna try better quality than this ?
Any suggestions which is super affordable
Hey there, if you're looking for an upgrade you can try out the Moondrop - STELLARIS.
@@headphone_zone Sennheiser Professional Audio IE 100 Pro Wired In Ear Earphones is better than CCA pla 13???
Is it better than Moondrop Aria 2?
They're a little different. The Aria 2 is certainly a more detailed and engaging IEM. The IE200 should be a more comfortable fit for most.
How does sound quality compare to the new HZ x FiiO IEM?
Comparing the sound quality of the Sennheiser IE200 and the Headphone Zone x FiiO JD1 is a bit like comparing apples and oranges. They cater to different price points and have distinct tuning.
Please bring on Sony IEMs to headphone zone

Hey there, you can go for the TANGZU - Wan'er S.G.
is ALC 1220 good enough for this?
Cant say we know what you mean ... but we're honestly not sure.
@@headphone_zone Realtek ALC 1220 is the audio chip that built in to the mid to high-end PC motherboard.
Please suggest me a DAC
You dont need a dac , it just marketing
I am currently using 1 Custom Junior please suggest me if it will be worth upgrading to ie200 and if its better than what i am using.
Both of them are great but what Sennheiser IE200 offers with 1 Dynamic driver is just amazing!
Isn't the ie 100 more affordable?
Yes, it is affordable but the IE200 kills it when it comes to the tuning aspect!
that's expensive then my smartphone 😂
Yikes. Then we probably shouldnt be telling you about the Noble Audio - Viking Ragnar
Is it better than the dioko ?
Both are great IEMs, it really depends on your preference as they both give different experiences!
Sir is it better than ath e40...because. I want that impactful bass...is it there in ie200??
IE200 is much more balanced as compared to the ATH E40. You'll get a nice bass texture on the IE200 as compared to the E40, IE200 is more about bass quality rather than quantity!
@@headphone_zone thanks somani sir.
Does it have more bass ie 300?
Hey there, the Sennheiser IE300 has a bass-boosted sound signature while the IE200 has a balanced sound signature. Keep the music playing!
@@headphone_zone thnks buddy😎
Which dongle dac was used in the video
iFi-Go Link probably🤔
It's IFI AUDIO - GO LINK
So do we have the pandamon in headphone zone?
Unfortunately, we don't have it!
Ie200 vs Letshoure S12 pro?
S12 pro.
@@geereesh77 thanks :)
Do they sound better than ie300?
Well, it does sound different because both of them have different Sound Signatures!
Indians prefer cheap. that's why cx180 was so popular in India
Surely the CX180 were great but Sennheiser has definitely stepped up their game!
HI TEAM,
Which IEM is the best within 3k could you please suggest.
KZ - ZSN Pro X is one of the best. Bang for the buck.
Just get the Tangzu Wan Er bro. Blind buy worthy. Kz used to be relevant like 2 years ago.
