Sennheiser HD 480 PRO

The Sennheiser HD 480 PRO studio headphones offer a balanced combination of accuracy, comfort, and versatility, making them a reliable tool for professional audio work—whether in the studio or in mobile environments. Their closed-back acoustic design, combined with multi-stage passive noise attenuation, supports focused and efficient workflows while helping to maintain a controlled monitoring environment.

The natural, linear sound reproduction allows for precise evaluation of recordings and mixes. The advanced Vibration Attenuation System reduces unwanted vibrations and reflections, resulting in a clean, well-defined sound image where even subtle details remain clearly audible. This provides a solid foundation for critical decisions, whether balancing complex audio material or fine-tuning frequency ranges with precision.

Long-lasting comfort for uninterrupted work

The HD 480 PRO features a lightweight, flexible design and carefully considered ergonomics to ensure comfort even during extended use. Its fit system is designed to minimize pressure points and provide even contact, contributing to effective passive isolation and stable wear across different users. The patented cable coil structure helps reduce cable-borne noise, ensuring a cleaner signal path. Inclusive design elements—such as Braille markings on the left and right earcups and grooved padding that accommodates glasses—enhance usability, comfort, and safety in everyday use.

Sustainability and reliable performance

Designed with sustainability in mind, the HD 480 PRO includes washable and replaceable ear pads, along with a serviceable construction that supports long-term use. Its durable build and modern neodymium magnets ensure consistent performance across multiple sessions.

Versatile applications

Flexible usability is supported by a patented cable management system (with left and right connection options and a detachable cable for seamless studio integration), as well as the included carrying pouch (HD 480 PRO) or travel case (HD 480 PRO Plus). This makes the system easy to organize and transport. The HD 480 PRO is a dependable choice for anyone seeking consistent, true-to-life sound reproduction and professional usability across a wide range of working environments.
