Everyday mixes now often demand immense computing power, surgically precise parameter automation, and significantly improved sound resolution. With this increase in creative power comes increased complexity and the likelihood of "blind spots" in sound, such as overloaded, muddy mixes with competing frequencies, making the choice of headphones critically important. The enhanced HD-490 PRO headphones are designed to capture all the nuances that can enhance or ruin your mix, ensuring that your work sounds as good to listeners in the real world as it does in your production studio.

Sennheiser HD-490 PRO studio headphones with an open-back design, providing an extremely wide, spatial soundstage and ultra-precise sound reproduction, deliver the sound clarity necessary for critical listening, allowing you to confidently make important mixing decisions.

The mixing headphones HD-490 PRO are equipped with the innovative DearVR MIX-SE plugin from Dear Reality, which will provide you with the best positioning and turn your DAW into the perfect virtual mixing environment. The DearVR MIX-SE software simulates carefully designed acoustics of ideal mixing studios, helping you achieve a balanced and consistent translation of your mix on different systems.

At the core of each HD-490 PRO earcup lies a modern neodymium magnet and innovative low-frequency cylinder. These components synchronize and work together to provide full, accurate, and well-defined bass, helping you identify and eliminate unpleasant low frequencies that can hinder achieving perfectly clean mixes and masters.

Handcrafted and designed in Germany, the Sennheiser HD-490 PRO, with reliable components and a lightweight, flexible design, allows you to feel the music and forget about the headphones. Carefully considered ergonomics eliminate pressure points, and the open-back design provides natural ventilation, making hours of music feel like minutes.
