Sennheiser has introduced the HD 490 PRO headphones.
Sennheiser has introduced the HD 490 PRO headphones. According to Sennheiser, this new range is designed to provide excellent clarity, comfort, and reliability, specifically tailored 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 across all audio frequencies with a range of 5Hz – 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 an open-back design and are equipped with neodymium magnets and Sennheiser's unique low-frequency cylinder system. This design is meant to deliver a complete, precise, and clear sound in the lower frequencies, allowing for accurate reproduction of low tones.
The headphones created by Sennheiser are built to provide comfort and flexibility by getting rid of pressure points, making them ideal for long studio sessions. The Open-frame Architecture used in the HD 490 PRO series helps to decrease resonance and lower total harmonic distortion (THD).
The headphones come with a plug-in called Dear Reality dearVR MIX-SE, which utilizes spatial audio technology to create a virtual mixing space that mimics the sound characteristics of different real mix studios and locations when listening through headphones.
The HD 490 PRO Plus model comes with an extra 3m cable, additional headband pad, and a carrying case.
The HD 490 PRO series comes in two options: HD 490 PRO and HD 490 PRO Plus. Both versions include the HD 490 PRO headphones and come with a 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm adapter, 1.8 m cable, mixing ear pads, and producing ear pads. The HD 490 PRO Plus also comes with an extra 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.
