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. | 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.

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. | The IE 400 Pro has a flatter frequency response than the IE 500 Pro.
