Caution: I just received a 3rd unit and it sounds again different and has some stronger imbalance. There seem to be some severe quality issues with this product, maybe therefore they are sold now for such a low price. But if you manage to get a decent unit, you will get amazing sound, I am really enjoying the IEMs with the EQ adjusted within the AMBEO app and on top you also get quite OK microphones which need some postprocessing though for really lifelike results.

I attached my EQ setting which works well for my black unit, the first white unit needs slightly different adjustment, the other white unit will be returned.

The AMBEO earphones is better than Sony MH1 ?

It’s different, not so bassheavy, fuller treble

Really nice sound for 50 bucks! Listening with my ER2SE it sounds pretty realistic...

You will never get the smoothness of an Etymotic, but I actually like the Ambeo and you get a nice binaural mic; although soundwise I prefer my tuned Earfun Free now. Haven’t used the Ambeo headset anymore since I was working on the Earfun.

Thank you for the detailed response!

What firmware version of the headset do you have?

The most recent one which was shown in the app

I bought a unit of these. They are no longer available on the Sennheiser web site, I bought from amazon. These are very decent, and for 60 Euros I think they are a no-brainer for someone who is, like me, just starting with recording "3D sound", how they call it. From the manual I can't tell where the "Apogee" part is, I guess perhaps the AD converters.

I think the recording app was done by apogee.
