Description
Description
The Sennheiser HD 490 PRO Plus is an open-back, over-ear studio reference headphone with the same specifications as the standard HD 490 PRO. It has a frequency response of 5 Hz to 36,000 Hz (-10 dB) and a 130 ohm impedance. The Plus kit adds a 3 m cable, an extra headband pad and a carry case to the standard contents.
Key Features
- Open-back, circumaural (over-ear) design
- Frequency response from 5 Hz to 36,000 Hz (-10 dB)
- 38 mm dynamic transducer with neodymium magnets
- 130 ohm impedance and 105 dB SPL sensitivity at 1 kHz/1 Vrms
- Mixing and producing ear pad sets, washable and replaceable
- Detachable 1.8 m and 3 m cables that plug into either earcup
- Extra headband pad and carry case with the Plus kit
- Dear Reality dearVR MIX-SE plugin included with the Plus
Sound and Design
Sennheiser says the open back gives a wide, dimensional sound stage and precise localisation. The headphone is tuned for an uncoloured response across the full spectrum, and its low end comes from a cylinder system intended to be full and clearly defined.
Ear Pads and Fit
Two ear pad sets come with the headphone, one for mixing and one for producing, and both can be washed and replaced. The earcups are angled to position the transducer relative to the ear, and the ergonomics are designed to avoid pressure points. The headphone weighs 260 g without the cable.
Cables and Software
The Plus includes a 1.8 m cable and a 3 m cable, and either one plugs into the left or right earcup. The kit also includes the Dear Reality dearVR MIX-SE plugin.
Accessibility and Origin
The L and R earcups are Braille-guided, and the ear pads are grooved for glasses wearers. The open-mesh metal earpiece covers allow natural ventilation. Sennheiser engineered the design in Germany, and the headphone is hand-assembled in Romania. The packaging is FSC-certified.
