The Sony IER-M500 is a pair of wired in-ear monitors made for stage performance. A flexible, coreless behind-the-ear hanger and a rear cable clip hold them in place so a performer can move freely. The clip rotates for natural movement and keeps the cable out of the way.
The earpieces have a closed design with a large acoustic chamber and a dynamic driver. Sony says this gives deep, controlled bass and refined high frequencies. The frequency response is 10 Hz to 40 kHz, and the sound is tuned for Hi-Res certified audio. The sealed structure and noise-isolating eartips passively reduce outside stage noise and lower overall sound exposure.
The Y-cable is detachable. It has a right-angle 3.5mm plug and durable MMCX connectors for the earpieces, which are built to withstand frequent plugging and unplugging. The monitors resist sweat and moisture. Thin polyurethane walls in the eartips support clearer audio and comfort over long sessions.
