Sennheiser HD 490 Pro: Features, Specifications
The HD 490 Pro headphones can provide superior accuracy and transparency to cater to decisions regarding mixings and confidently resolve any panning placement issues.
The engineers at the brand have tuned the HD 490 Pro to offer an extremely wide and dimensional sound stage for precisely localising the components of a mix.
“When you’re creating music, the last thing you want is to be focusing on the fit of your headphones. The HD 490 PRO let you feel the music and forget about the headphones,” says Vipin Pungalia, Country Manager and Director of Sales Pro Audio.
