Sennheiser Launches IE 100 PRO and IE 100 PRO Wireless In-Ear Monitoring Solutions

March 8 2021, 00:25
Sennheiser continues to expand its portfolio of in-ear monitoring solutions, well aware of the increasing crossover between the musicians and live performance market and an increasing number of music enthusiasts who admire the qualities of top-grade monitor sound. With the latest IE 100 PRO Wireless combo, Sennheiser introduces its most affordable model in the range, featuring a swappable Bluetooth alternative to the cable, allowing to take the experience from the stage right onto the street.
 

The new Sennheiser IE 100 PRO and IE 100 PRO Wireless In-Ear Monitors have the typical features of the brand's in-ear designs, including a new 10mm dynamic driver, consistent frequency response in both low and high SPLs, in an ultra-flat design that stays in the ear. Now, thanks to the inclusion of a Bluetoot neckband that can be swapped with the cable when preferred, all users can listen to playlists, make calls or watch videos, while the aptX Low Latency codec ensures that sound and image are in perfect sync. The Bluetooth 5.0 solutions supports AAC, aptX, and aptX Low Latency codecs, featuring a built-in microphone, remote for call and music control and a battery life of up to ten hours. 

Naturally, the IE 100 PRO is also available individually for stage work, where it is complemented with a wide range of accessories to fit all preferences and applications. As the successor to the IE 40 PRO, the new Sennheiser IE 100 PRO in-ear monitors offer a natural, and precise monitoring sound that allows users to fine-tune their performance with ease. 

"When you choose the IE 100 PRO Wireless, you get an outstanding two-in-one solution," says product manager Gunnar Dirks. "In addition to the standard accessories, the IE 100 PRO Wireless includes the IE PRO BT Connector - simply unplug the standard cable, attach the lightweight semi-wireless cable instead and enjoy great audio with all the freedom of a Bluetooth connection!" A USB-C cable, which fully recharges the Bluetooth connector in 1.5 hrs is included, too.

The Sennheiser IE 100 PRO features a reinforced ear-hook. Thanks to the included silicone and memory foam ear tips, the in-ears adapt perfectly to any ear canals, coming as close as possible to custom ear moulds. The comfortable fit is supported by a low-profile mould. A reinforced ear-hook and detachable cable with patent-pending, break-proof connector offers users the reliability they need during performance. The package is rounded off by a cleaning tool and a soft pouch.

While the IE 100 PRO retains the same transducer and frequency response of its predecessor, it is now fitted with the same connector type and clever stage-proof internal cable duct as the IE 400 PRO and IE 500 PRO. “Using one connector platform allows users to simply select their favorite cable regardless of the model they own," adds Gunnar Dirks. "For example, IE 500 PRO users can simply get themselves an IE PRO BT Connector to use their professional in-ears for wireless music enjoyment. Moreover, with the IE PRO Mono Cable, we’re adding a new solution for broadcasting."

The new IE PRO Mono Cable is a twisted cable that offers excellent suppression of structure-borne noise. It can be used with the right or left earpiece, which gives a single-sided broadcast solution for live moderation, correspondents and ENG applications. With a stereo signal, the left signal will be transmitted. All cables for the IE PRO series are now fully interchangeable between models.

The new Sennheiser IE 100 PRO and IE 100 PRO Wireless In-Ear Monitors are available in black, clear and red.
