Now that its consumer division is owned by Sonova, a Swiss company best known for hearing aids, the IE 300 could be one of the last products that’s produced by the traditional family-owned Sennheiser business. In some ways, the IE 300 harks back to the company’s earlier headphones from the pre-Bluetooth era. The in-ear design is more modern, but the IE 300 is a purely wired headphone, with no Bluetooth or active noise-cancelling. I can live without those features, although the lack of an in-line volume control is perhaps a touch more irritating.
