Sennheiser has introduced its latest high-end closed-back headphones, the HD 480 PRO, designed specifically for studio and live audio applications. These headphones address two common issues faced with closed-back models by providing precise bass reproduction and exceptional comfort. The HD 480 PRO is crafted for audio professionals involved in recording, tracking, or monitoring, whether in a studio, live environment, or on the go.
Delivering accurate low-end sound has often been a challenge for closed-back headphones, but the HD 480 PRO excels in this area. Jimmy R. Landry, Category Market Manager at Sennheiser, highlights their superior bass accuracy compared to other closed-back headphones. Additionally, Gunnar Dirks, Senior Product Manager for professional headphones, emphasizes the importance of comfort for extended use, noting that the HD 480 PRO offers a lightweight, ergonomic design that fits comfortably, even for those wearing glasses.
The HD 480 PRO headphones are versatile, suited for use by producers, mixers, musicians, recording engineers, and creators in various settings. They are ideal for monitoring, producing, recording, and mixing, providing an uncolored frequency response and reliable audio translation across different listening environments. The headphones’ multiple stages of passive sound shielding and comfortable ear pads ensure a precise seal for excellent audio reproduction. The Vibration Attenuation System minimizes unwanted vibrations, reflections, and distortions, preserving sound clarity.
Engineered with several patented features, including Special Axes Geometry and a comfort zone for glasses, the HD 480 PRO guarantees optimal adaptability to different head shapes and high comfort levels. The headphones also offer flexible cable routing, braille-marked earcups, and are built to last, ensuring consistent performance over time. While the HD 480 PRO is perfect for situations requiring sound isolation, the open-back HD 490 PRO is recommended for mixing in quieter environments, according to Gunnar Dirks.
Available at AED 1,549, the HD 480 PRO comes with recording earpads, a 3-meter coiled cable, and a carrying bag. The HD 480 PRO Plus, offered at AED 1,749, includes a travel case instead of a bag. Both models boast technical specifications such as a closed acoustic principle, circumaural ear coupling, 38 mm transducer diameter, a frequency response of 3 to 28,700 Hz, and a maximum SPL of 130 dB, making them a reliable choice for audio professionals.
