Sennheiser has introduced the HD 490 PRO headphones, promising clear sound quality, comfort, and durability. These headphones have been designed to cater to the needs of today's music producers.
The HD 490 PRO series guarantees a natural frequency response, delivering a vibrant and genuine sound reproduction across all audio frequencies with a range of 5Hz to 36.1kHz (-10dB). These headphones come with two sets of ear pads, created for the purpose of producing and mixing music. This function helps reduce ear fatigue and enables precise identification of frequencies during detailed listening tasks.
The HD 490 PRO headphones are designed with an open-back style, neodymium magnets, and Sennheiser's unique low-frequency cylinder system. This design aims to provide a rich and precise low end sound, as well as the capability to capture low frequencies accurately.
Sennheiser created these headphones with the goal of providing a comfortable and flexible option that is lightweight and suitable for long studio sessions. The Open-frame Architecture in the HD 490 PRO series by Sennheiser helps to reduce distortion and resonance for better sound quality.
The headphones come with a plug-in called Dear Reality dearVR MIX-SE, which uses spatial audio technology to create a virtual mixing environment. This simulates the acoustic characteristics of different real-world mixing studios and locations when using headphone monitors.
The HD 490 PRO Plus version comes with a longer 3m cable, an extra headband pad, and a carrying case.
There are two options available in the HD 490 PRO series – the HD 490 PRO and HD 490 PRO Plus. Each option includes 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 comes with an additional headband pad, a 3 m cable, and a case.
The Sennheiser HD 490 PRO headphones are currently on the market, with the PRO version priced at $399£349 and the PRO Plus version priced at $479£399.
