The [https://sennheiser.com/earphones-headphone-stereo-passive-noise-reduction-ie-4 IE 4 Earphones] that came with the [https://en-us.sennheiser.com/double-wireless-in-ear-monitor-system-live-sound-ew-iem-g4-twin Sennheiser IEM G4 Twin transmitter/receiver] are perfectly functional, but I was curious about higher-end products to put in my ears.

I got three:

* [https://sennheiser.com/ie100pro Sennheiser IE 100 Pro Wireless Bluetooth] (these came later)

* [https://sennheiser.com/ie-400-pro Sennheiser IE 400 Pro]

* [https://sennheiser.com/ie-500-pro Sennheiser IE 500 Pro]

===General Comments===

All three models in the Pro series share the same shape, fit, silicon and foam earpieces, and connectors to cables and the Bluetooth accessory. I found I could get a good seal for passive isolation, and they were comfortable for hours.

=== Differences ===

Initially, I got the IE 400 Pro and IE 500 Pro, intending to keep just one. It turns out, I liked them both immensely for different reasons. I'm more inclined to use the IE 500 Pro on stage and the IE 400 Pro when I'm working on my tone or mixing. Mixing with in-ears? That's the subject of another article.

The IE 400 Pro has a flatter frequency response than the IE 500 Pro. The IE 400 Pro is great for clinical listening like when I'm working on my vocal or guitar tone. The IE 500 Pro has a more flattering frequency response that is easier to listen to for long periods. It's slightly less pronounced in the upper mids than the IE 400 Pro. This is good for me as a vocalist because it encourages me to be more articulate. My voice tends to be darker and I can be muddy if I'm not concentrating. The IE 500 Pro help me with that.

Sennheiser makes the [https://sennheiser.com/ie-pro-bt-connector IE Pro BT connector], a Bluetooth receiver that works with all of its Pro series In-Ear Monitors. With this, you can convert your professional In-Ear monitors into Bluetooth earbuds. It's a short cable with a bump for the controls and a bump for the battery. You plug the In-Ears into it and you have wireless earbuds that sound great. I could have purchased it separately but I got this bundled with the [https://sennheiser.com/ie100pro Sennheiser IE 100 Pro Wireless Bluetooth] out of curiosity. The IE 100 Pro sounds remarkably good and I could use them on stage in a pinch.
