Sennheiser Professional reference studio headphones (closed back) H...
Product Overview
The Sennheiser HD 480 (SKU 700499) is a closed-back professional reference studio headphone for broadcast studio monitoring, audio post-production, recording studio tracking, and commercial AV system commissioning. The standard bundle includes the HD 480 headphones, HD 480/490 PRO coiled cable, and a carry bag. The closed-back design delivers passive noise isolation suited for tracking sessions, broadcast booth monitoring, and environments where open-back bleed is not acceptable.
Product Description
The HD 480 closed-back reference headphone delivers accurate, wide-bandwidth audio reproduction for professional studio and broadcast monitoring applications. The closed earcup construction provides passive isolation from ambient noise, making it the appropriate choice for tracking sessions, broadcast production booths, and AV system audio calibration in environments where an open-back design would introduce leakage. The included coiled HD 480/490 PRO cable supports both near-field desktop and console monitoring positions. The headphone is compatible with the full range of HD 480/490 PRO replacement cables, ear pads, and cases, providing a modular platform for long-term studio and broadcast deployment. A travel case bundle (SKU 700500) is available for integrators requiring secure transport packaging.
