Has anyone tried the new Sensaphonics D2?

Hi All,

I'm a long time user of CIEMs, I have a pair of 1964 ears that I must have been using for about 7-8 years now, without a hitch, apart from burning though a few cables.

The right earpiece is sounding quite dull, compared to the left, which makes me think one of the drivers is out.
So I had a quick look around for a replacement pair, and came across the D2.

Has anyone tried these yet? I like the concept of an IEM with no crossovers. Simple analog crossovers alway cause phase shifts and in my book, a single source that can deliver a full frequency range is better than splitting that range up over multiple drivers. I also like the concept of soft shells, and Sensaphonics claim to have about the best isolation in the business.

I'm a semi-professional (as in it's my job, but I do other things as well) musician and sound engineer. I need great isolation, comfortable fit, and a sound that is pretty 'true'. I don't need super powerful bass or even really 'pretty' sounding IEMs, but I do need good clarity so I can hear details. I don't need an IEM that can go really loud either.

Source is always a Sennheiser wireless IEM system.

Would love to hear your thoughts in the D2, or even other IEMS that might suit me

Thanks,

Harry

Hi Harry, I'm curious about these too. Hopefully someone will share more info here.

I ordered the D2’s as my first pair of IEMs. Sensaphonics came highly recommended from everyone I work with, and they are local to me, so it was a win-win.

I picked them up the other day, and I’m already loving them. I wore them on an 8 hour flight, and they were comfortable for the entire duration.

I can’t compare them to other brands, but for my purposes they’re perfect.

I’ve been using these the last month and a half, and I can’t reccomend them enough. They are very comfortable, have great isolation, and sound great! I’m not sure how to best describe the sound, but they sound very natural.

I have the Shure Bluetooth cable, and it comes in handy when traveling and need something cable-free.

Thanks for the kind words. The D2 is reviewed in the October issue of FOH Magazine.
