SennheiserHD 480 PRO Closed-Back Studio Headphones

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
HD 480 PRO headphones give tracking, mixing, editing, and mobile production a closed-back monitoring option with multi-stage passive shielding. Their 38 mm dynamic neodymium drivers are designed for natural, full-spectrum reproduction, while angled earcups and vibration attenuation address distortion and internal reflections. The detachable coiled cable can lock into either earcup, giving you flexibility in a studio setup. Grooved ear pads accommodate glasses without breaking the seal, and the supplied headphone bag supports carrying the headphones between sessions.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live tracking and critical monitoring where passive isolation helps reduce distractions and bleed.
- Studio, mobile, or late-night editing workflows needing a detachable cable that connects to either earcup.
- Long sessions for wearers who need ear pads designed to accommodate glasses.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Open-back monitoring setups; the HD 480 PRO uses a closed-back design.
