Sony / IER-M500 WZ White In-Ear Monitors

＜＜Aug 2026 New Product！＞＞ The Sony IER-M500 is a professional in-ear monitor developed for the rigors of the stage. It delivers exceptional sound quality through acoustic tuning co-created with renowned US PA engineers and a newly developed 5mm driver. Combining a highly stable fit with outstanding durability, this is a serious model designed for performers.

■ Monitor sound co-created with PA engineers
・ Developed in collaboration with renowned US monitor engineers to pursue the sound artists truly desire on stage. By combining years of acoustic design expertise, these monitors achieve a high-level balance of exceptional sound quality and superior noise isolation—essentials for the rigors of professional performance—while vividly capturing the atmosphere of the live environment.

■ Newly developed 5mm driver delivering full-range sound
・ Features a newly developed 5mm dynamic driver unit that distills Sony’s high-quality audio expertise. Despite its compact size, it supports wide-range, High-Resolution Audio playback, enabling accurate monitoring of instruments across various frequency ranges—including vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards.

■ Ergonomic design for exceptional fit stability
・ Designed based on ergonomic principles and the analysis of extensive ear-shape data to ensure the units stay secure even during vigorous stage movement. Newly developed fitting supporters are available in five sizes and shapes to match individual ear contours. Sony’s accumulated earphone design expertise ensures an outstanding, secure hold.

■ Ear hangers that flexibly conform to ear shape
・ Equipped with unique ear hangers featuring a highly flexible, coreless design. They fit gently and naturally against the ear, allowing the artist to focus deeply on the performance. They maintain a stable, comfortable fit while playing and reduce ear fatigue during extended use.

■ Noise-isolating ear tips for superior sound isolation
・ Includes ear tips made from a proprietary polyurethane foam material. These effectively attenuate high-frequency noise to support optimal monitoring sound quality on stage. The thin-walled design around the sound conduit allows for greater flexibility and deformation within the ear canal, dramatically reducing the sensation of pressure.

■ Rugged, highly durable construction for stage use
・ Thoroughly engineered for the high durability essential to in-ear monitors. Comes with a high-performance cable featuring a unique design that significantly reduces the risk of wire breakage. Furthermore, the unit features a rugged construction designed to withstand sweat from vigorous stage movement and accidental exposure to moisture, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding professional environments.

■ Rotating cable clip for enhanced stability
・ Includes a lightweight, compact cable clip that securely holds the cable in place, preventing it from getting in the way during active performances. The rotating mount accommodates various angles, while the understated matte finish ensures a low profile that doesn't detract from the aesthetics of stage costumes.

■ Design that complements costumes and allows for easy left/right identification
・ The housing features a beautiful translucent design available in three color variations: Black, White, and Red & Blue. Color-coded connectors—red for the right side and blue for the left—allow for instant identification, even on dimly lit stages. The Red & Blue model offers superior visibility, featuring asymmetrical housing colors for the left and right sides.
