Sennheiser IE 500 PRO Clear In-ear Monitors

Assertive in-ear monitors with extremely high resolution and distortion-free sound reproduction, even at maximum sound pressure levels. The miniature 7mm driver uses the new TrueResponse technology and delivers a superb distortion factor of only 0.08%. The highly compact and ergonomic design sits securely and comfortably in every ear canal.

High-resolution sound – down to the finest details – with precise, accurate soundstage, even at extreme sound pressure levels. The IE 500 Pro combines huge power and clarity for any location and any stage in the world. Thanks to the twisted pair cable, it can be operated comfortably at high volumes. So sound professionals can keep even the finest details under control, the dynamic 7mm driver works with the newly developed TrueResponse technology. It refines the natural strengths of the diaphragm and eliminates stress factors that occur with other driver systems. Distortion, feedback peaks and overlapping frequency ranges are no longer a problem. The distortion factor has been optimized to a previously unimaginable 0.08%. A miniature design also permits a formerly inconceivable, flat construction, which fits comfortably and securely into any ear canal. The accompanying silicone and memory foam adapters improve the fit and shielding, making it feel like it is tailor-made. Even with extreme movement, the IE 500 Pro sits securely in the outer ear – and can still be inserted or removed in a matter of seconds. The innovative, shock-proof cable duct (patent pending) is naturally replaceable.

Looking for highest resolution, distortion-free sound with graduated tonal depths – even at maximum sound pressure levels? The IE 500 Pro is the right choice.

High-resolution, strong mid-rangesWith the IE 500 Pro, musicians can reliably locate themselves in the mix and hear every nuance of other voice or instrument, even on the loudest stages. The low-resistance system performs clearly and free from distortion, even at high sound pressure levels – thanks to TrueResponse technology. High-resolution, strong mid-ranges, accurate soundstage, and a robust design fit for any stage… the IE 500 Pro represents the philosophy of the entire IE series: MoreMe. Perceive more, have more control, and confidently locate your own sound in the mix.

Next-generation dynamic driversThe result of intensive development work: a single high-performance dynamic driver – with a diaphragm measuring only 7 mm in diameter – covers the entire frequency spectrum. This way, interference effects in the region of the transitional frequencies and phase differences are avoided. A system of magnets with triple-duct ventilation significantly reduces the distortion factor, and a two-chamber absorber in the direction of the ear canal minimizes feedback peaks that would otherwise occur naturally. The result: even at high sound pressure levels, the sound remains clean and free from distortion. Consequently, the IE 500 Pro protects your hearing – even after hours of use on the loudest stages. For professionals that previously got lost in the mix, their sound suddenly becomes audible.

It’s not just the sound that fits your ear……the IE 500 Pro also sits comfortably and securely in your ear for several hours. Choose either silicone or viscoelastic memory foam tips to individually adapt to the structure and depth of your ear canal for hours of reliable wearing comfort. Durable and innovative cable ducting with a deep-set connector allows the IE 500 Pro to also withstand tough nights on the stage. Again, and again.
