Introducing the HD 490 Pro Professional Studio Headphones | Sennheiser

[@Rohan_salunkhe94]

Always love Sennheiser earbuds, headphones and love from india 😊

[@engageguignol7847]

Love them so much! They translate extremely well 👌🏻

[@shirakawamaseru]

As an previous HD820 owern and HD800S/660/660S2 tester, i can say, for sure, these are the best Headphones Sennheiser ever released. I was shocked when i seen the price, i don't understand how they can be that cheap, but i don't care. Thank you for making them the way they are and that they exist.

[@ninjafish123]

That’s really interesting to hear, especially since I tried these yesterday out of a line up and they were my favorites!

[@soopjung]

Sennheiser needs a headphone that can sit on the throne - yet being still accessible, the 40,000€ HE-1 doesn’t count - with the Focal Utopia (4500€) and Hifiman Susvara (6000€). Time for the HD900s.

[@sebanambrus9265]

under 2k hopefully

[@soopjung]

@@sebanambrus9265 Idk we have already the 800s there, I was thinking more on the $5k price range.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Awesome! Would love to give these a try!

[@ASAPSauce]

I'd like to see HD700s or HD720. imo the only thing HD700 was lacking was clarity/resolution, and tighter bass response. The tuning is similar to Focal Clears but with bigger soundstage, ear bleeding treble, and of course muddier sound. actual potential if Sennheiser considered refining it.

[@HiFiASMR]

hd700 had the worlds largest 6kHz peak known to man.

[@ASAPSauce]

Thankfully there is a simple mod to make it sound presentable. Similar to how the HD800 has the DuPont mod to tie down those “peaks”. I actually prefer the HD800 SDR > HD800s 😊

[@СтаниславДубиновский]

Very beautiful headphones!

[@maurices.7141]

These HD 490 Pro are THE best headphones i ever owned. Much better than the HD 660s.

[@aRc11-11]

When's the release date?

[@sennheiser]

Available now!

@@sennheiser holy schitzkerdoodle, I'd better get off the stick.

[@charles.vernier]

Super Interested to try these. My HD 280's are still going strong and even after using the HD 300, I didn't feel like they were worth the upgrade. But these look great!

[@TechnoGuy11]

I still love my HD600 after all these years and I also have the HD700 which is nice but doesn't have what the 600 does imo but these seem to be a good 600 successor so looks like I'll have to give them a go.

[@johnnymac3826]

MSRP ?

[@sennheiser]

Our HD 490 Pro retails for $399 and our HD 490 Pro Plus set for $479

[@theundertaker5963]

@@sennheiser thank you

[@Nick_in_the_6ix]

Time to upgrade from my HD560s. These headphones look so good.

[@CuratedByMeraki]

Wow! Am mind blown, can't wait to get my hands on this.

[@sennheiser]

Awesome to hear!

[@harry1010]

Huh, neat! I like the ear pad switching idea built in to the headphone.

[@ABDLLHSDDQI]

Especially with Audeze crying about how impossible it is to have removeable pads in good headphones and why they use glue on all their expensive headphones, and their studio reference MM series headphones.

[@pieman3141]

@@ABDLLHSDDQI Right? The HD800 series, Meze's higher end headphones, AKG's, Apple's Airpod Max, and a number of other high end or midrange headphones can all do this, whether by a latching mechanism or by magnets. Somehow, Audeze can't?

[@saint_snow]

Ngl looks like a senn/beyer lovechild. I'll have to check it out.

[@Ryan_3gRi]

how does the design remind you of the beyers?

[@saint_snow]

@@Ryan_3gRi Reminds me of the 1990 Pro specifically tbh. Same xlr output, the swappable pads for a difference in sound. Just with that HD 600/650 flair but modernized.

[@mehmetgurdal]

Wow, it's named as 490 but priced more than most of the 6xx line. You guys should work on naming. 😅 But looks sweet. Can't wait to see how it measures.

[@mariozenarju6461]

There are fun headphones, and there are work headphones ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@mehmetgurdal]

@@mariozenarju6461 to me both look the same. :D all that work headphone needs a dose of equalizer apo and it will be a party animal :D

[@starfallrabbit]

i want hd700s it was here!

[@balintfarkas1041]

HD900 when

Soundbar Ambeo Rear Speakers ... pls

[@sebanambrus9265]

HD900 ???

[@bertdail8601]

Need hd890

[@MRFUTURETECHNOLOGYGAMING]

That better be mini 4-pin XLR. Better than an HD800 connector, hopefully 300ohms

[@Nemura12]

They are Mini XLR.

[@thoringer_]

They are double sided 4-pin Mini XLR.

[@sennheiser]

Yes, Mini-XLR 4-pin!

[@julienajarry]

The look great!

[@thatsamuellu]

The cinematography is beyond impressive! Great work!
