Sennheiser has introduced its latest premium closed-back headphones, the HD 480 PRO, designed specifically for studio and live audio environments. These headphones address common issues associated with closed-back models, offering precise bass reproduction and exceptional comfort for audio professionals involved in recording, monitoring, and tracking, whether in-studio, live settings, or on the go.
Closed-back headphones often struggle with accurately reproducing low-end frequencies, but the HD 480 PRO stands out by delivering a tighter, more realistic bass, according to Jimmy R. Landry, Category Market Manager at Sennheiser. Additionally, Gunnar Dirks, Senior Product Manager for professional headphones, emphasizes the importance of comfort for prolonged use, noting that the HD 480 PRO is ergonomically designed to eliminate pressure points, ensuring a comfortable fit for extended sessions, even for those wearing glasses.
The HD 480 PRO is exceptionally versatile, making it an excellent choice for producers, mixers, musicians, and recording engineers both in the studio and in live environments. Its accurate and uncolored frequency response ensures reliable audio translation across various listening situations, from home speakers to PA systems. Testimonials from industry professionals like producer Jim Kaufman and mix engineer Will Brierre highlight the headphones’ trustworthy sound quality and impressive accuracy.
To enhance user focus and detail perception, the HD 480 PRO incorporates multiple stages of passive sound shielding and features a “Vibration Attenuation System” to minimize unwanted vibrations and distortions. The headphones’ ultralight voice coils contribute to their dynamic and authentic audio reproduction. Sennheiser has also incorporated patented features such as “Special Axes Geometry” and a “Comfort zone for glasses,” ensuring optimal fit and comfort.
Offered at AED 1,549, the HD 480 PRO includes recording earpads, a 3-meter coiled cable, and a carrying bag, while the HD 480 PRO Plus, retailing at AED 1,749, comes with a travel case. Sennheiser’s HD 400 series also features the open-back HD 490 PRO, which is recommended for mixing in quiet environments, whereas the HD 480 PRO is suggested for scenarios requiring isolation. Both models represent the pinnacle of Sennheiser’s professional audio headphone lineup.
