Sennheiser HD 490 PRO Open-Back Studio Over Ear Wired Headphones|Ultra-Wide 3D Soundstage|Neutral Reference Tuning|Interchangeable Ear Pads|Perfect for Mixing,Music Production,Editing&Recording,Black

The HD490pro is really worthy, the Sennheiser sound signature is truly appreciated. The sound is very natural and the bass is smooth and powerful, the spatial audio is extremely good from apple music. #Review after 12,000 minutes on Apple Music Producing Earpads: Music with multiple instruments truly shines here—it’s absolutely GOAT-level. The instrument separation is incredible; every single layer feels distinct and alive. It genuinely made me fall in love with the listening experience all over again. The bass is smooth, deep, and powerful—but never overwhelming. Unlike typical boosted bass (like Sony), this feels natural and immersive, almost melting into the track perfectly. Mixing Earpads: The main difference compared to the producing pads is the warmth. These are more neutral and slightly less warm, focusing purely on precision. They’re perfect for instrumental listening, offering crystal-clear detail and accuracy. Every nuance in the mix becomes more noticeable, making them ideal for critical listening.

I was confused between dt 900 prox amd this...but finally went with it. Pretty flat sound with good amount of bass. I bought it for mixing and mastering purpose.

Sounds balanced and very professional, Highly recommended for Mixing and Mastering. Do not use it for recording tho

I am shocked that Amazon shipped such an expensive item without any packaging whatsoever. Since it is currently the monsoon season, water or moisture could have easily seeped in and ruined the product; the company didn't even include any silica gel in the package. I will never buy expensive electronic items from Amazon in the future; I’ve had a terrible experience.

Not really anything to write home about.

Received used product, It has scratches and dust on it, Changeable head foam is also missing,

Awesome Sound Quality and super comfortable. This is the best headphone that i have used which is in the range of 28000.

Just amazing man. This headphone is so worth the price and I have 3 reasons why: 1. The imaging, oh my gosh the imaging, when I was playing cs2 I was able to hear footsteps in exact space, I could pinpoint that they were in the room above and to the left of me with just utterly alot of clarity. 2. The comfort is truly understated, wow the comfort, I have glasses and with some headphones it gets a bit uncomfortable to wear them for like 3 hours, man I was grinding in games for 4 hours straight without any noticeable fatigue and the velour headband pad really just like sticks to my hair and that means I can have it a bit more loose and still not feel that way. 3. The flexibility, now for most of the review I’ve just been talking about gaming performance, that’s because I think it’s a metric where I can definitely tell the ups and downs of headphones with music on the other hand I dont really have the same sureness, all headphones sound good but they just feel different in a way I cant point out much, it’s still the same story for these but the difference between the pads is actually noticeable and if you’re guessing I’m using the velour(producing pads) most of the time, you’d be wrong! The velour pads to have some body on them but on some songs with some certain beats, the beats feel a bit fatiguing or too much, with the mixing pads I dont feel that and everything feels equally represented on the mixing pads, bass feels in control, the mids breath fine and the treble doesnt feel obtrusive nor really missing so yeah, take my review with a grain of salt cause I certainly know alot of trivia about headphones, I dont necessarily have experience but from a gamer who’s been on the audiophile space for more than 3 years, it’s definitely great.

Muito leve, confortável e soa como eu esperava que soasse (baseado na minha experiência prévia com outros fones da Sennheiser). Demorou um pouco para chegar, mas o vendedor foi super atencioso e teve boa comunicação durante o processo.

I'm first going to address the one and only con of this, which would be noise cancellation. Since it is open-back, it shouldn't be a surprise that there is zero noise cancellation, so if you need noise cancellation then this is not for you. Now to the good stuff. When it comes to sound quality, there isn't a headphone that has been as good as this in my life. I listen to music about 6+ hours a day every day, and this headphone has given me the best listening experience without a doubt. Comfort? Superb, I've even worn it for 10 hours straight sometimes without having the feeling of taking it off since it didn't feel annoying to wear and it fits perfectly on my head. It being open-back also allowed me to have very long non-stop sessions with it as my ears didn't sweat from heat build-up that I would experience with closed-back headphones and so I didn't have to take them off. It has a solid basic appearance, nothing flashy. I'd also recommend you to do some research into what your computer's motherboard uses as a soundcard and determine if you do need a DAC or not to get the most from this headphone without facing issues or annoyances. Personally, I did have to buy a DAC to get rid of the garbage electrical/static noise that my motherboard would produce, so make sure to do your research.

Ich war ehrlich gesagt lange auf der Suche nach „mehr Bass“. Mehr Druck / punch, mehr Kick, dieses typische Gefühl, dass die Musik einen richtig anschiebt. Habe viele geschlossene Hörer und auch Bluetooth-Modelle ausprobiert – alles klang erstmal beeindruckend, aber irgendwie auch immer ein bisschen künstlich, aufgeblasen oder auf Dauer anstrengend. Dann kam der HD 490 Pro. Mein erster Eindruck war sogar eher enttäuschend. Ich dachte: „Wo ist der Bass? Warum klingt das so dünn?“ Wenn man von bassbetonten Hörern kommt, wirkt der 490 am Anfang wirklich unspektakulär. Aber, und das ist entscheidend, man muss ihm Zeit geben. Nach ein paar Stunden (oder Tagen) passiert etwas: Das Gehör „kalibriert“ sich neu. Und plötzlich merkt man, dass der Bass gar nicht fehlt. Er ist einfach nicht aufgeblasen. Stattdessen ist er unglaublich präzise, räumlich und „greifbar“. Man hört nicht nur Bass, man versteht ihn. Was mich komplett umgehauen hat, sind die Mitten und Vocals. Stimmen klingen so real, dass man teilweise das Gefühl hat, die Sänger stehen direkt vor einem. Gerade bei emotionalen Tracks (z. B. ruhigere Songs oder auch komplexere Metal-Sachen) ist das einfach Gänsehaut pur. Beim Metal / harsh vocals kann man hören, wann der Sänger False Chords oder Fry nutzt. Man hört ob die Kehle feucht oder trocken ist. Man spürt quasi die Stimmbänder. Auch spannend: Live-Aufnahmen klingen wirklich wie live. Man hört den Raum, die Atmosphäre, die Unterschiede zur Studioaufnahme. Das hatte ich so noch bei keinem Kopfhörer. Die Höhen sind klar und detailliert, aber nie nervig. Ich kann stundenlang hören, ohne dass irgendwas anstrengend wird. Und der Tragekomfort ist für mich einer der besten überhaupt – leicht, luftig, nichts wird heiß. Wichtig zu wissen: Das ist kein „Wow beim ersten Hören“-Kopfhörer. Wer sofort fetten Bass und Effekt sucht, wird ihn am Anfang vielleicht sogar langweilig finden und enttäuscht sein. Aber wenn man sich darauf einlässt, merkt man schnell, wie viel echter und richtiger Musik klingen kann. Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ich mal sage: Weniger Bass macht mehr Spaß (ich liebe eigentlich eine drückende “Wall of Sound” bei Metal). Aber genau das ist hier passiert. Tatsächlich klingt der HD 490 Pro für mich von Song zu Song sogar voller. Für mich aktuell der beste Kopfhörer, den ich je hatte – nicht weil er spektakulär ist, sondern weil er Musik so wiedergibt, wie sie sein sollte.

Auriculares de muy buena calidad. Buena calidad de sonido y buenos bajos. Buena compra.
