Sony has launched the IER-M500 in-ear monitors, designed to provide reliable monitoring for musicians, performers and monitor engineers during live performances and rehearsals.

The in-ear monitors feature a fully sealed design with a large acoustic chamber, delivering high passive noise isolation and accurate sound reproduction across a wide frequency range. Sony says the design helps users hear performance cues more clearly while reducing the need to increase monitoring volume in noisy environments.

Designed for extended wear, the IER-M500 includes Sony’s proprietary ear fit supporters and four sizes of noise-isolating eartips to provide a secure fit. Flexible ear supporters are also supplied to improve stability during active performances.

The earphones feature a detachable 1.6m cable designed for repeated connection and disconnection, making them suitable for regular use on stage and in the studio.

The Sony IER-M500 is be available in clear, black and red/blue transparent finishes, with clearly marked left and right earpieces for quick setup.
