Premium reference headphones
The HD 490 PRO from Sennheiser are reference studio headphonesdesignedformodern music production. They are characterized by the best sound quality, a high level of comfort and great reliability. Thanks to its open design, it delivers high-precision sound reproduction and a very realistic, spatial stage. It is therefore ideally suited for mixing decisions. The HD 490 PRO is a product developed in Germany, which is manufactured by hand using durable components. It is so light and comfortable that you can immerse yourself completely in the Mix and almost forget that you are wearing headphones. Its ergonomic designprotects sensitive areas of the head and the open concept ensures adequate ventilation of the ears. So you can workfor hours at Studiowithout getting tired.
Best features
The HD 490 PRO comes with two different pairs of ear pads that have different sound signatures: one for mixing, the other for producing. Both are optimized for long periods of use and prevent fatigue. In addition, the ear pads are washable and replaceable, which increases sustainability. As a bonus, you get the innovative dearVR MIX-SE plugin from Dear Reality. This allows you to transform your DAW into the ultimate virtual mixing environment. dearVR MIX-SE simulates the perfectly tuned acoustics of an ideal stereo mixing studio. This means that Mix sounds consistently good on different playback systems.
The Sennheiser HD 490 Pros are a huge upgrade from my Sennheiser HD 280 Pros. The soundstage is huge, wide, and colourful. The HD 490 Pro's made my 280 HD Pros feel mono in comparison! Super dynamic and clear frequencies over the whole frequency spectrum. Listening to my previous mixes, I was able to instantly notice parts of my mix that I didn't notice before.
The fit of the headphones was extremely comfortable. Much more comfortable than my HD 280 Pros - the ear cups are bigger, with much more padding. It encompassed my whole ear, with nothing rubbing. (I have big sticking-out ears, by the way). The headphones did not press against my temples or head either.
The replaceable ear pads are also a great idea. You do notice a bit of a difference in sound! The fabric ones are brighter, and slightly clearer in the high end. A bit less bass too.
I truly recommend this headphone as an upgrade from a more budget headphone, and if you are looking to go more professional with music.
I hope this review helps!
