FAQs

Do these headphones support active noise cancellation?

No, the IE900 does not have active or passive electronic noise cancellation; they rely on a physical seal for sound isolation.

Are the cables replaceable?

Yes, the IE900 features detachable cables using the Fidelity Plus MMCX connector system.

Are these suitable for studio monitoring?

Yes, their natural and precise sound signature makes them excellent for critical studio monitoring tasks.

What is the primary material used for the housing?

The housings are precision-milled from a single block of aluminum.

Can I use these with a smartphone?

While they will function, they are designed for high-end audio equipment and may require a dedicated DAC/Amp to perform at their peak.

Troubleshooting

Imbalance in sound between left and right channels

Verify that the MMCX connectors are firmly seated and that no debris is blocking the nozzle or the filter.

Lack of bass response

Change the ear tips to a different size or material to ensure a proper airtight seal in the ear canal.

Intermittent audio cutting out

Inspect the MMCX cable connectors for oxidation or dust; use a dry contact cleaner if necessary or ensure they are fully rotated and connected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional sound clarity and detail retrieval
  • Robust and premium aluminum housing construction
  • Unique triple-chamber absorber system for reduced resonance
  • Ergonomic fit suitable for extended listening sessions

Cons

  • High investment cost compared to entry-level monitors
  • No active or passive noise cancellation features included
  • Requires high-quality audio sources to sound their best
  • Non-standard cable connectors may limit third-party compatibility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best sound, ensure you select the ear tips that provide the most secure seal in your ear canal, as the bass response is highly dependent on a proper fit. Use the provided cables and store the monitors in their included hard-shell case when not in use to protect the aluminum housings from scratching.

Care instructions include:

  • Gently wipe the earphone nozzles with the included cleaning tool to remove earwax.
  • Keep the MMCX connectors clean and dry.
  • Avoid pulling on the cable; always disconnect by gripping the connector housing.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct moisture.
