Sennheiser has revealed the release of their new HD 490 PRO headphones
Sennheiser has introduced the HD 490 PRO headphones. According to Sennheiser, this new line promises excellent sound quality, comfort, and durability, and has been designed to meet the needs of contemporary music production.
The HD 490 PRO series guarantees a natural frequency response, delivering a lively and genuine sound reproduction throughout the entire range of audio frequencies from 5Hz to 36.1kHz (-10dB). These headphones come with two sets of ear pads that are tailored for producing and mixing music. This design helps reduce ear fatigue and enables precise identification of frequencies during critical listening tasks.
The HD 490 PRO headphones are built with an open-back design and feature neodymium magnets and Sennheiser's unique low-frequency cylinder system. This design is meant to provide a rich, precise, and clear low-end sound, as well as the capability to accurately reproduce low frequencies.
Sennheiser created these headphones with a focus on comfort by removing pressure points and ensuring they are lightweight and flexible. This design makes them ideal for long studio sessions. The HD 490 PRO series utilizes Sennheiser's Open-frame Architecture 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 environment replicates the acoustic characteristics of different real-world mix 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 the HD 490 PRO Plus.
