You have arrived at this location. Sennheiser has unveiled their new HD 490 PRO
Sennheiser has introduced the HD 490 PRO headphones. According to Sennheiser, this new line of headphones is designed to provide outstanding clarity, comfort, and reliability, specifically tailored to meet the needs of contemporary music production.
The HD 490 PRO series guarantees a natural and accurate sound reproduction without any coloration in the frequency response. The headphones offer a wide range of 5Hz – 36.1kHz (-10dB) across the audio spectrum. They come with two sets of ear pads that are tailored for producing and mixing music. This helps prevent ear fatigue and allows for precise identification of frequencies in critical listening situations.
The HD 490 PRO headphones have an open-back design that includes neodymium magnets and Sennheiser's unique low-frequency cylinder system. This design is meant to provide a complete, precise, and clear low end sound, allowing for accurate capture of low frequencies.
Sennheiser created these headphones to provide a comfortable and lightweight experience by removing pressure points, making them ideal for long studio sessions. The Open-frame Architecture in the HD 490 PRO series by Sennheiser helps to decrease resonance and lower total harmonic distortion (THD).
The headphones come with a plug-in called Dear Reality dearVR MIX-SE that utilizes spatial audio technology to provide users with a virtual mixing space. This tool mimics the acoustic characteristics of different real-life mix studios and locations when using headphone monitors.
The HD 490 PRO Plus comes with a longer 3m cable, an extra headband pad, and a carry case included.
There are two options in the HD 490 PRO series – the HD 490 PRO and the HD 490 PRO Plus. Both options come with the HD 490 PRO headphones, a 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm adapter, a 1.8 m cable, mixing and producing ear pads. The HD 490 PRO Plus also includes an extra headband pad, a 3 m cable, and a case.
The Sennheiser HD 490 PRO headphones can be purchased at the moment, with the PRO version priced at $399£349 and the PRO Plus version priced at $479£399.
