At a time when fully wireless ear buds are the rage, it takes a brave company to release a costly wired version that requires a headphone jack. That’s what Sennheiser has done with its new IE 300.
The wired in-ear monitors (IEMs) are unapologetically aimed at the audiophile, who doesn’t mind lugging around a digital audio player just to play music, though at a higher quality than your average phone.
You can still plug the IE 300s into your phone’s USB port but you’ll probably need an adapter – and a good one. Most high-end phones like Samsung’s Galaxy range or Apple’s iPod don’t have a headphone jack any more, instead relying on a wireless link.
