Sennheiser HD 490 PRO Plus: Precision and comfort for professional music productions

The Sennheiser HD 490 PRO Plus is a professional studio headphone that has been specially developed to meet the requirements of modern music production. With its open design, precise sound reproduction and exceptional wearing comfort, the HD 490 PRO Plus offers the perfect solution for mixing, producing and long-lasting studio sessions. Sennheiser combines decades of experience in headphone construction with innovative technologies to create a first-class audio experience.

Realistic sound reproduction and open design

The HD 490 PRO Plus is based on an open design that enables high-precision sound reproduction. With a very realistic, spatial stage and ultra-precise localization, the headphones offer complete control over all the details and subtleties of a mix. Sennheiser's "Open-Frame Architecture" minimizes resonances, improves the distortion factor and ensures an honest and dynamic sound reproduction across the entire audio spectrum.

An innovative bass tube guarantees precise, rich and clearly defined low frequencies, while coloration-free frequency responses make it easier to pick out individual frequencies. This makes the HD 490 PRO Plus the ideal tool for complex music productions where every detail counts.

Comfort and ergonomics

The ergonomic design of the HD 490 PRO Plus avoids sensitive areas of the head and ensures an extremely comfortable fit. The circumaural design is not only comfortable, but also ensures optimum positioning of the transducers in front of the ear. Two different pairs of ear pads - one for mixing and one for producing - are specially designed to prevent fatigue. These ear pads are washable and replaceable, which increases the longevity of the headphones and contributes to greater sustainability.

Dear Reality plugin: virtual mix environment

Dear Reality's dearVR MIX-SE plugin transforms the DAW into a virtual stereo mix environment. This innovative tool simulates the carefully tuned acoustics of an ideal stereo mixing studio so that a mix remains consistent on different playback systems. This is particularly useful for producers working in variable acoustic conditions.

Durable construction and sophisticated design

The HD 490 PRO Plus was developed in Germany and manufactured by hand in Romania. Its durable construction includes high-quality materials and well thought-out details such as conch-covering metal grilles, which benefit both air circulation and sound reproduction. A patented headphone cable minimizes structure-borne noise and ensures clear signal transmission. In addition, the Braille marking on the earcups enables barrier-free operation.
