Every detail matters: Introducing the all-new IE 900
May 15, 2021 at 10:45 PM Post #136 of 150
I had experience with Fir Audio, M5, M4 and new VxV, heard empire ears phantoms, Lx and zeus.

What I can say is EE brand is a very flavorful tuning they like to impress you and create wow factor. They are very technically strong contenders and lot of fun to listen. Not something I would use for reference or careful analysis iem, but it has strong capabilities and unique in its own.

Fir Audio is a brand similar to 64a because Bogdan the ceo is the brother of Vitaly the ceo of 64a, so I think they have split and this why we see fir to be so close in the concept.
Though they quite very different when it comes to tuning presentation.

64a is more cleaner, precise and nuanced. When you do careful close a/b you will see that 64a has an edge on treble, sub bass, resolution, very nuanced details like speed and transitions between notes and decays. They can be very phenomenal on Fourté and Trio.

Fir audio is more toward on the stage artists, cause when you listen to M5 you feel the sound like its been played from a speaker setup on the stage! It doesn't reach deep or as black in the background presentation. With M5 you hear the atmosphere the air and a very open sound like. It is a good iem very strong craftsman built and the Rcx conector is rock solide it does stand for what they say.

But me I love EDM music and Tia Fourté owns M5 and M4 eyes closed. It has those very fine thin and very lucid effects in the tuning that I have yet felt in any other iem. Its made so sensible and true to its source that fourté is a true chameleon. You can fine tune it with cables and dap, it responds instantly to any changes in the audio path, with fourté you can understand how each cable sounds with its all different strands and alloys that have been used.
You can even compare cable soldering quality lol its that sharp and precised.

It is the reason why I call Tia Fourté a world class iem its extremely strong and nuanced sound.


Hope that helps and I am sorry for your wallet 🤣🤣🤣

Three thousand, six hundred dollars...

Wow thanks for that comprehensive analysis! Sounds like the Fourté would indeed be for me, not sure my wife would agree... 🙉

Hey Everyone!
@ericpalonen and Sennheiser coordinated on an IE 900 product tour video. To see the headphone in-hand, exploded views, and a breakdown of the defining features of the IE 900, check out this video:

The sound IE 900 turned out to be very transparent, with high readability, excellent control is also present, there is no thick viscosity, no stretched after-sounds. With a fairly average detail, the separation of instruments is literally exemplary, so the model is also suitable for monitoring, when it is important for you to listen to some quiet part in the very depths of the stage. Another feature is the large-scale, holographic panorama and clarity, combined with a perfect fit and no background noise, makes you feel like you're not wearing headphones at all. The sound picture is built competently both in terms of the volume of space and in terms of positioning accuracy, the melodic pattern freely and clearly stands out against a dark background.

Ordered this from https://en-ca.sennheiser.com

for a week they still haven't shipped my order.
No one is available for live chat, no reply to an email, and no one picks up the phone.
Also, the number on the Sennheiser Canada page is directed to Digital river, and yet they are not in charge of my order.
Their numbers in the email is also not Senn Canada.

The CS lady already assumed that I am from Canada as soon as I told her
my order is not shipped for a week and wanted to cancel my order.
She has transferred me to the Canada office and no one picks up. Looks like I got Frauted by Sennheiser Official website lol.

If you live in Canada and I know Sennheiser Canada Official Webpage is the only place you can find IE900.

If interested in getting this pair of IEM, Forget about it.

DO NOT PURCHASE THESE FROM SENNHEISER CANADA.

You will end up just like I stuck and has no way to cancel or ask for help for CS. Only place you can ask for help is the Forums because there is no way to contact/get a response from Sennheiser Canada.

If I am not getting my Item within this week I guess I will report to my bank and open the case of scam/fraud.
Well done Sennheiser for keeping your branches well "organized".

Hey @skfktkwjs —sorry to hear about the trouble. I'm going to PM you and get some order details so we can look into it. Nobody at any Sennheiser branch wants you to walk away unhappy and I'm certain we can get to the bottom of it.

It's Funny As soon as I post on this thread, I got a call from Sennheiser Canada directly and offers me a refund.
I guess someone from Sennheiser Canada monitors the forum as well(Just Kidding). Thank you for your kind help you are the only person who responded to me for my trouble.

This was a fun shootout between two terrific IEMs! Hope you all enjoy the video and have a great rest of your weekend guys!



Thank you for shooting this and taking the time to walk through such detailed testing. I've heard a few of your test tracks on the IE 900 (and 600 and 300) and love some of the highlights you pointed out. Great looking footage as well—bravo!

Hello. I am using Fiio m11 pro. I want to buy Sennheiser Ie 900 as IEM. Do you think it will fit? How will they fit together? Thank you very much for your help.
I don't have the m11 Pro but I can safely say it will. The ie900 has been great with everything I've plugged it into, no reason to doubt that will be any different with your Fiio DAP.

This thread is a lot more active, plenty of great Head-Fier's over there, somebody will be able to answer your question with actual experiance of the m11 Pro.
