About this model
Studio headphones aren’t just about hearing the mix—they’re about trusting what you hear. For decades, engineers have turned to Sennheiser for that level of confidence, and the HD 480 PRO Plus closed-back studio headphones carry that legacy forward. Built on a foundation of German engineering, these headphones combine multi-stage passive sound shielding with a closed-back design to keep external noise out and your reference mix honest. With a focus on natural, full-spectrum reproduction, the HD 480 PRO Plus presents detail and balance with clarity across the frequency range. Whether you’re in the studio, working on the road or editing late into the night, these Sennheiser headphones deliver a consistent, uncolored sound you can rely on from session to session. Closed-Back Design Maintains Signal Integrity The closed-back construction uses layered passive isolation to block distractions and minimize bleed, especially during live tracking or critical monitoring. A dedicated vibration attenuation system works alongside geometrically angled earcups to reduce distortion and internal reflections, helping preserve low-end clarity and midrange focus. This design keeps your monitoring environment controlled, so you can make accurate decisions whether you’re working in a busy control room or a more isolated editing space. Neodymium Drivers and Cable Design Support Accurate Monitoring The inner workings of the HD 480 PRO Plus are anchored by advanced neodymium drivers, which are paired with an ultralight voice coil to deliver dynamic, transparent audio across the frequency range. A patented coiled cable structure helps block cable-borne noise, maintaining a clean signal path, while the detachable cable can be locked into either earcup for flexible studio configurations. Together, these elements support reliable monitoring across mixing, tracking and on-the-go production workflows. Ergonomic Design Supports Long Studio Sessions Comfort and durability are built into every detail of the HD 480 PRO Plus headphones, from the precision-fit headband that reduces pressure points to grooved ear pads that accommodate glasses without breaking the seal. Thoughtful accessibility features, including braille-guided earcup markings, extend usability across a wider range of users, while the lightweight yet robust construction and included hardshell travel case support long-term use and transport. For engineers, producers and content creators who need dependable monitoring across studio and mobile environments, the Sennheiser HD 480 PRO Plus closed-back studio headphones deliver clarity, isolation and long-wearing comfort in a professional reference tool.
