Introduction

Sennheiser is one of the oldest players on the audio market, with a product portfolio that will take days to browse through and includes everything from wireless microphone setups to high end headphones. Today we will be taking a look at one of their newest in-ears dubbed the IE6. The IE6 features a dynamic driver much like its bigger brethren. The IE-series in-ears from Sennheiser are their first attempt at making high end in-ears. The IE6s are currently available for around $200 which puts them in the same price category as the other high end in-ears we recently reviewed here.
