Really, once you’ve managed to justify the outlay to yourself there are remarkably few downsides to Sennheiser IE 900 ownership. They’re light, comfortable, and Sennheiser has made a real effort with the way they are packaged and presented. Each cable resists the transmission of any kind of noise. The way the housings are milled, and the material from which they’re constructed, makes them look quite attractive in situ too.
Of course, when a piece of equipment has to be small and light by simple requirement of its function, it’s nigh-on impossible to make it look like a premium product (unless you just cover it in Swarovski crystals or something). And sure enough, no one is going to glance at you and your IE 900 in‑ear monitors and think “my goodness, they look expensive!”. But when you’re in the right spot – which is inside a pair of IE 900 – you’ll know exactly why they cost what they cost.
