  • by

You have arrived at the announcement of Sennheiser's new HD 490 PRO headphones.

Sennheiser has introduced the HD 490 PRO headphones, which they say provide excellent clarity, comfort, and reliability. These headphones have been designed to meet the needs of today's music production industry.

The HD 490 PRO series guarantees a natural frequency response that delivers a dynamic and genuine sound reproduction across all frequencies, with a range of 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 have a design that includes neodymium magnets and Sennheiser's unique low-frequency cylinder system, which is meant to provide a complete, precise, and clear low end sound. These headphones are said to be able to accurately capture low frequencies.

Sennheiser created these headphones with a focus on reducing discomfort and providing a comfortable, lightweight fit for long studio sessions. The Open-frame Architecture used in the HD 490 PRO series by Sennheiser helps to decrease unwanted vibrations and distortion in sound quality.

The headphones come with the Dear Reality dearVR MIX-SE plug-in, which utilizes spatial audio technology to provide users with a simulated mixing environment that replicates the acoustic characteristics of different real-world studios and locations using headphone monitors.

The HD 490 PRO Plus model comes with a 3m cable, an extra headband pad, and a carrying case.

The HD 490 PRO series comes in two options – HD 490 PRO and HD 490 PRO Plus. Both options include the HD 490 PRO headphones and come with a 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm adapter, 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.
