Sennheiser HD 490 PRO Plus Studio Reference Headphones Bundle

Whether you’re mixing in a world-class control room or producing tracks in a home studio, accurate monitoring is essential. The Sennheiser HD 490 PRO Plus bundle delivers a professional reference headphone solution designed for today’s mobile, hybrid, and in-the-box workflows. Built on decades of acoustic research and German engineering, the HD 490 PRO Plus combines neutral frequency response, exceptional comfort, and advanced spatial audio tools to help you make confident, translation-ready decisions anywhere you work.

Open-Back Design With Hyper-Realistic Imaging

The HD 490 PRO headphones feature an open-back architecture that creates a wide, natural soundstage with precise stereo imaging. This design allows sound to breathe freely, giving you a realistic sense of space, depth, and positioning that closely mirrors high-end studio monitor environments. Panning, balance, and spatial placement become easier and more intuitive, helping you identify problem areas and refine mixes with confidence.

Precision Drivers for Honest, Detailed Sound

At the core of the HD 490 PRO are high-performance drivers powered by neodymium magnets and an innovative low-frequency cylinder design. This combination delivers a clean, extended low end without congestion, detailed mids, and clear, articulate highs. The result is an uncolored, transparent listening experience that exposes muddy low frequencies, masking issues, and competing elements—making these headphones equally suited for production, mixing, and mastering.

Built for All-Day Comfort and Longevity

Designed for long sessions, the HD 490 PRO Plus features a lightweight frame, open-mesh metal ear cups for natural ventilation, and plush ear pads that minimize fatigue. This Plus bundle includes two interchangeable sets of ear pads—Mixing and Producing—each offering a slightly different tonal balance to suit different stages of your workflow. Both sets are washable and replaceable, ensuring long-term comfort and durability. An extra headband pad is also included to keep the headphones feeling fresh over years of use.

Virtual Studio Monitoring With dearVR MIX-SE

Exclusive to the PRO Plus bundle, the included dearVR MIX-SE plug-in from Dear Reality transforms your DAW into a virtual mixing environment. This powerful tool simulates the acoustics of professionally designed control rooms, placing you in the “sweet spot” no matter where you’re working. It’s an invaluable reference tool for checking mix translation, spatial balance, and depth across different listening environments—especially when speakers aren’t an option.

A Modern Monitoring Solution for Any Studio

With detachable cables, left or right ear connection options, and a rugged, travel-ready design, the HD 490 PRO Plus adapts easily to any studio configuration. From hotel rooms to production suites, these headphones deliver consistent, trustworthy results wherever creativity strikes. For engineers, producers, and musicians who demand accuracy, comfort, and flexibility, the HD 490 PRO Plus is a future-proof monitoring solution.
