The Perfect Blend of Transparency, Comfort, and Reliability!
Experience the perfect blend of transparency, comfort, and reliability: The reference studio headphones HD 490 Pro Plus were specially designed for today’s complex music productions. They operate on an open principle; their highly precise sound reproduction and very realistic, spacious stage give you the clarity you need for your mixing decisions.
Headphones for Today’s Music
Music is different today. Technological progress hasn’t stopped here either. Complex parameter automation, high computing power, highest audio resolutions – producers and mixers today push creative boundaries like never before.
This comes with complexity – and with it the risk of what we call “blind spots” in audio playback: mixes where too many instruments occupy the same position, frequencies overlap, and individual instruments and vocals can no longer be clearly distinguished.
This makes choosing the right headphones all the more important. You need a listener that reproduces all the nuances that decide whether a mix turns out really great or just mediocre.
Precise Reproduction Across the Entire Audio Spectrum
Sennheiser’s innovative "Open-Frame Architecture" ensures transparency and a good balance in your master as well as a comprehensive, precise, and excellently defined sound image. This makes it easier to detect and fix frequency overlaps and panning issues. The result of your work is more differentiated and detailed than ever before.
Powerful neodymium magnets and innovative bass tubes in the ear cups of the HD 490 Pro Plus deliver precise, rich, and clearly defined bass. This allows problematic low frequencies to be identified and corrected more easily – mixes and masters become more accurate and clearer.
Comfortable for Hours, Durable Quality
The HD 490 Pro Plus was developed in Germany and handcrafted with durable components. The headphones are so lightweight and comfortable that you can fully immerse yourself in the mix and almost forget you’re wearing headphones. The ergonomic design spares sensitive head areas, and as a nice side effect of the open principle, plenty of air reaches your ears. Hours in the studio will feel like minutes.
The HD 490 comes with two different pairs of ear pads, one with a sound signature for mixing, the other for producing. Both are optimized for long use and prevent fatigue. The ear pads are washable and replaceable – for more sustainability.
With dearVR MIX-SE Virtual Mixing Plugin
Included: the innovative dearVR MIX-SE plugin from Dear Reality. This keeps you always in the sweet spot and transforms your DAW into the ultimate virtual mixing environment. dearVR MIX-SE simulates the carefully tuned acoustics of an ideal stereo mixing studio. This makes your mix sound consistently great on different playback systems.
