Precise Sound of the Sony IER-M500 IEM Headphones
The Sony IER-M500 IEM headphones were designed in collaboration with professional sound engineers and tuned based on feedback from musicians. The result is precise and neutral sound with faithful reproduction of the monitor mix. They play sound in the frequency range from 10 Hz to 40 kHz. Hi-Res Audio certification allows you to capture even subtle sound details. The dynamic driver, along with an acoustic chamber, ensures controlled bass, clear mids, and precisely rendered highs.
Passive Noise Isolation for On-Stage Performance
These wired in-ear headphones provide effective passive isolation from ambient noise even in demanding on-stage conditions. The fully sealed design, along with an optimised acoustic solution, helps to effectively suppress surrounding sounds. The eartips, made of patented polyurethane foam, also improve attenuation, especially at higher frequencies.
Ergonomic Design of the Sony IEM Headphones
The universal design of the Sony IER-M500 in-ear headphones adapts to different ear shapes. The eartips ensure a comfortable and secure seal, while the flexible ear hooks without a rigid core adapt to the shape of your ears. Included in the package are original Sony eartips in five sizes and shapes for a comfortable fit.
Durable Construction for Everyday Use
Thanks to their closed-back design, the Sony IER-M500 headphones are suitable for everyday use. The sealed design helps protect against moisture ingress, and the thoughtful construction limits sweat build-up. The cable is resistant to repeated bending, and the connectors can handle frequent plugging and unplugging.
Transparent Design of the IEM Headphones and Practical Accessories
The Sony IER-M500 are available in three colour options. The transparent design looks professional and unobtrusive, making it suitable for use on stage and in the studio. The package also includes a practical case for safe transport and storage of the headphones.

Impedance
This figure indicates how demanding the headphones are to power. Headphones with a lower impedance (e.g., 32 Ω) are ideal for mobiles and laptops. A higher impedance (e.g., 80 Ω and more) is more suitable for Hi-Fi players and amplifiers. Frequency Range
Indicates what sounds the headphones can reproduce. The typical range is 20 Hz–20 kHz, which corresponds to what the human ear can hear. Lower Hz = deeper bass, higher kHz = more detailed highs.Specifications

Packaging
Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio.
In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
