The sales of "IE 100 PRO Wireless" that can be wirelessly connected by bundling this are also planned.

The 10mm diameter driver is manufactured in Ireland. Using a specially shaped diaphragm, the middle part responsible for high-pitched sounds is hard, while the outer part responsible for low-pitched sounds is soft and supple.

In addition, Sennheiser earphones often use 7mm drivers, but considering the best balance of manufacturing costs and low-frequency reproducibility, they are 10mm diameter.

It is assumed that the terminal is cylindrical and thick, and the core wire of the coaxial part is thick and durable. The ear hooks are also more reinforced than the IE 40 PRO.

The impedance is 20Ω, the sensitivity is 115dB/m, and the frequency response is 20Hz to 18kHz. The housing has high sound insulation properties of up to 26dB. Low distortion at 0.1% (1kHz/94dB).
