Sennheiser HD-490 PRO Plus Professional Reference Open-Back Studio Headphones
Engineered to deliver accurate mixes for demanding professionals, the Sennheiser HD-490 PRO Plus Headphones provide musicians, producers, engineers, and content creators with an open-backed headphone monitoring solution that's ready for today's workflows. Everyday mixes now routinely demand massive computing power, surgically precise parameter automation, and dramatically enhanced audio resolutions. With this increased creative horsepower comes increased complexity and the potential for audio blind spots like crowded, muddy mixes with competing frequencies—making your choice of headphones critical. The HD 490 PRO advanced headphones are designed to capture all the subtleties that could make or break your mix, ensuring your work sounds as good to listeners in the real world as it does in your production studio. This HD-490 PRO Plus edition is identical in design and performance to the HD-490 PRO model, but in addition to the 5.9' cable, producing ear pads, and mixing ear pads, it also includes a 9.8' cable, additional headband pad, and semi-hard travel case.
Harnessing decades of Sennheiser engineering expertise, the HD 490 PRO Plus headphones are equipped to handle all the complexities of today’s music production, mixing, and mastering. Featuring an open-back design that delivers an extremely wide, dimensional soundstage and ultraprecise sound reproduction, the HD 490 PRO Plus studio headphones give you the clarity you need for critical listening, so you can make important mixing decisions with confidence.
Achieve enhanced clarity and balance in your masters with Sennheiser's innovative Open-frame Architecture, delivering a comprehensive, precise, and intelligibly defined audio experience. This advancement significantly aids in the identification and resolution of issues related to panning placement and conflicting frequencies, ensuring a more refined final master. At the core of each HD 490 PRO Plus earcup is a state-of-the-art neodymium magnet and an innovative low-frequency cylinder. These components synchronize and work together to deliver full, accurate, and clearly defined bass, helping you pinpoint and resolve troublesome low-end frequencies that can hinder the achievement of meticulously clear mixes and masters. The HD 490 PRO Plus mixing headphones also include the innovative dearVR MIX-SE plug-in from Dear Reality, placing you in the sweet spot and turning your DAW into an ultimate virtual mixing environment. The dearVR MIX-SE software simulates the carefully designed acoustics of ideal mixing studios, helping you ensure a balanced, consistent translation of your mix on different systems.
Handcrafted and German-engineered with built-to-last components and a lightweight and flexible design, the HD 490 PRO Plus let you feel the music and forget about the headphones. Carefully engineered ergonomics eliminate pressure points, while the open-back design provides natural ventilation, making hours in the music feel like minutes. Two sets of switchable ear pads, each with a unique sound signature, for long hours of mixing and producing, they eliminate ear fatigue and are designed with sustainability and durability in mind—and they’re both washable and replaceable. The HD 490 PRO Plus help you achieve your full creative vision by eliminating audio blind spots, putting you in full control of every detail, and ensuring accurate playback beyond the studio.
