Dual-wielding Dynamo for Decisive Producers
Years of research and design in studio monitoring headphones have culminated in Sennheiser's HD 490 Pro. Boasting a rich sound profile and enhanced studio versatility, these 'phones have tapped into what makes Sennheiser offerings sound superlative: balance, authenticity, and clarity. An ergonomic shape and switchable audio jacks offer extensive movement in the studio, as well as minimized pressure points during use. Additionally, a pair of two included earpads favor mixing and producing, respectively, to provide remarkable interpretation at any location in the production process. Best of all, the included Dear Reality's dearVR MIX-SE plug-in brings the acoustic of coveted mixing spaces directly to your computer. There's a reason Sennheiser has been the headphone of choice among many of Sweetwater's sound engineers — the HD 490 Pro shows no signs of stopping this trend.
