The right earpiece has a red ring around the mmcx to identify it and the left has IE300 cast into the inner plate. The outer shell has a raised plate with the Sennheiser logo and a single vent to the rear of the logo. The earpieces are small-mid sized and made of a thermo-plastic resin with an outer shell, an inner plate that covers the rear portion of the shell and a round nozzle/driver housing that fits into the front section of the outer shell. The inside of the case also has a mesh pocket for keeping spare tips and the cleaning tool handy without having them fall out every time you open it.

Overall, its a fairly complete kit and the case is nice and solid so should provide good protection. The rest of the kit is hiding in the case with 6 pairs of tips (3 each SML silicones and foams), a cleaning tool, cable tie, warranty card, and manual. Lifting the lid reveals the earpieces with cable attached in a foam surround at top and the bulk of the cable and case in a cutout in the lower portion. The Sennheiser ie300 comes in a lift-top box with a large graphic of the earpieces on front and some of the marketing points on reverse. I have tried to keep the format the same as my standard with the exception of the playlist section that details the tracks I recommended be added to it and the reasoning for each. If you have an interest in the IE300, please visit Sennheiser’s site, or they are available now from most better resellers.īecause of the playlist request, this review is a bit longer than some. I have no financial interest in Sennheiser or any of its resellers, nor have I been compensated (other than the earphone being provided) for the content of this review.

Disclaimer: I was approached by a Sennheiser representative about doing a review of the new IE300 and also helping to create a playlist of songs that showcase the IE300’s strong points.
