The Sennheiser IE 300 made me listen my music collection in a different perspective, because it brings out quite a handful of musical details that often get masked by prominent instruments and their resonances.

Outstanding treble definition without listening fatigue, Supportive bass response with precise resonance, Comfortable fit
