Are there any triple-flange tips that can be used with the Senn IE lineup?
Oh, it does that and more! The IE 300 is a different tuning designed for audiophile listening, rather than the IE 400's stage monitoring, but it was also produced with very high technical performance that should impress!I have the IE400 and it's an absolute testament to Sennheisers technical prowess. One of the few transducers to impress a jaded audiophile like me and probably the second most impressive item in my Sennheiser collection after the HD800.
The IE400 will absolutely make a fool out of many multi driver IEMs with its single driver and demonstrates how well tuned a single dynamic driver can be.
If the IE300 can deliver 75% of the performance at its price, it will be the leader in its price class and possibly a few rungs higher up.
Thank you! We're building up the Head-Fi product showcase page with technical specifications, compatible accessories, photos and more so that it will hopefully be a good reference as well as a great place to find Head-Fi user reviews!Consider me intrigued. I like that response curve. And the MTW2 is pretty fantastic. 16 ohms but no word on sensitivity yet....
Stay updated on Sennheiser at their sponsor profile on Head-Fi.

Worldwide release soon, in March 2021.
For anyone not sure about the speckles (which I like), they're actually pretty tiny and subtle:
Maybe I missed something, but can't see any vents?
Assuming the 3rd party cable's jacket (at the connector termination) is not larger than 4.8mm, yes.Is this a custom mmcx port or can I use any cable?
I don’t know, but I do know the diameter of the nozzle for attaching tips. The outer diameter is 5.65mm, and the shaft is 5mm. Most tips stretch a millimeter or more so that they grip tightly to the bore nozzle, which work especially well when there’s a wider lip at the top (as here).Are there any triple-flange tips that can be used with the Senn IE lineup?
Does the IE 300 use the same type of tips as the 40/400/500 Pro models that have that kind of ‘snap-on’ design?I don’t know, but I do know the diameter of the nozzle for attaching tips.

I'll know for sure when I get one for answering questions just like this in a few weeks, haha. It looks like they just push on, and there's a little lip (almost like a barb) that helps hold the tip onto the nozzle.

Not an obvious homage to the classic HD600 then? Shame...Worldwide release soon, in March 2021.
