Sennheiser Professional reference studio headphones (open-back) HD ...
Product Overview
The Sennheiser HD 490 PRO Plus (SKU 700287) is an open-back professional reference studio headphone designed for mixing and mastering engineers who require accurate, wide-bandwidth audio reproduction. The complete bundle includes 1.8 m and 3 m straight cables, two interchangeable ear pad sets (mixing and producing), an extra headband, and a premium hard-shell travel case, making it a comprehensive studio reference package. Recommended for audio post-production, broadcast studio control rooms, and commercial AV system commissioning and tuning applications.
Product Description
The HD 490 PRO Plus is the fully accessorized variant of the HD 490 PRO open-back reference headphone, built on the same acoustic platform with an open-back design that delivers a wide, natural soundstage suited for critical mixing decisions. Two sets of interchangeable ear pads are included: mixing ear pads tuned for flat reference monitoring, and producing ear pads providing a slightly different response curve for production and sound design work, allowing the engineer to switch perspectives without changing headphones. The 1.8 m and 3 m cables cover near-field desk monitoring and floor-level console use respectively. The premium hard-shell case protects the headphones during transport and storage on location or between studio environments. The extra headband provides a ready backup for intensive studio deployment. Compatible with Sennheiser’s range of HD 480/490 PRO cables and accessories available at creationnetworks.net/collections/sennheiser.
