Sennheiser has unveiled its latest studio-grade headphones, the HD 480 PRO, offering top-tier closed-back performance for professional audio settings. These headphones are designed to address common issues associated with closed-back models by providing precise bass reproduction and exceptional comfort. This makes them ideal for audio professionals engaged in recording, tracking, or monitoring whether in the studio, during live performances, or on the go.
The HD 480 PRO stands out by delivering excellent low-end sound quality, which is often a challenge for closed-back headphones. According to Jimmy R. Landry, Category Market Manager for Sennheiser’s music industry sector, these headphones provide tight and realistic bass reproduction. Additionally, Gunnar Dirks, Senior Product Manager for professional headphones, emphasizes the importance of comfort, especially for those who wear headphones for extended periods during sessions. The HD 480 PRO’s ergonomic design ensures a precise and comfortable fit, even for users wearing glasses.
Engineered for diverse professional applications, the HD 480 PRO can be used by producers, mixers, musicians, recording engineers, and creators both in studios and live environments. Their versatility is highlighted by their accurate, uncolored frequency response and dependable low-end, ensuring that audio is faithfully reproduced across various listening platforms, from home speakers to public address systems. Professionals like Jim Kaufman, Will Brierre, Young Chencs, and Nao Yoshioka have praised the HD 480 PRO for their sound quality and comfortable design, which facilitate a focused and immersive audio experience.
To enhance audio focus and detail, the HD 480 PRO features multiple stages of passive sound shielding and soft ear pads that accommodate glasses. Sennheiser’s Vibration Attenuation System minimizes unwanted noise and distortion, while ultralight voice coils deliver authentic and dynamic sound. The headphones also incorporate patented features for comfort and fit, including special axes geometry for consistent contact pressure and a soft zone in the ear pads for glasses wearers.
For practical use, the HD 480 PRO includes a detachable cable that can be positioned on either side, beneficial for solo instrument recordings. The headphones are built to be durable and reliable over time, with braille markings on the earcups to enhance accessibility. While the HD 480 PRO is ideal for settings requiring sound isolation, the open-back HD 490 PRO is suggested for mixing in quieter environments. Available for AED 1.549, the HD 480 PRO comes with a carrying bag, while the HD 480 PRO Plus, priced at AED 1,749, includes a travel case.
