{"product_id":"sennheiser-hd-480-pro-431036","title":"HD 480 PRO","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA New \"PRO\" Benchmark for Closed Monitoring Designed to Tell the Truth\u003c\/h3\u003eBuilding on several decades of research and development, Sennheiser positions the \u003cstrong\u003eHD 480 PRO\u003c\/strong\u003e as a professional closed-back headphone focused on \u003cstrong\u003efidelity of reproduction\u003c\/strong\u003e. The goal is clear: to offer a stable and balanced listening experience capable of revealing details essential for the work (tonal balance, resonances, background noise, dynamics) while maintaining the isolation necessary for recording and noisy environments. This \"nothing but the truth\" approach relies on a holistic design combining passive isolation, vibration control, and ergonomics to maintain consistent listening comfort over hours.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For and What Are Its Uses?\u003c\/h3\u003eThe HD 480 PRO is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003esound engineers\u003c\/strong\u003e, producers, content creators, musicians, and home studio users who want a reliable headphone for \u003cstrong\u003erecording\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emonitoring\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003emixing\u003c\/strong\u003e without depending on a perfectly treated room. Its closed-back design limits microphone bleed, making it particularly relevant for vocal sessions, acoustic instruments, close miking, or shared control rooms.\u003cbr \/\u003eIt is also suitable for modern \"hybrid studio\/mobility\" workflows: editing, session preparation, and production on the go. The passive isolation and coherence of the perceived soundstage facilitate quick decisions (EQ, balance, cleanup) while maintaining a sufficiently neutral listening experience to later switch to monitor speakers with minimal surprises.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Technologies: Precision, Isolation, and Comfort for Confidence\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eClosed Design and Neutrality: A Solid Foundation for Mixing Decisions\u003c\/h4\u003eThe HD 480 PRO's signature is based on a \u003cstrong\u003econtrolled frequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e aimed at full and uncolored reproduction. In practice, this helps judge bass levels without flattering excess, place vocals precisely, and control sibilance, reverbs, and ambience. The result: a headphone that prioritizes translation, enabling fast work and fine verification.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMulti-Stage Passive Acoustic Isolation: Preserving Signal Integrity\u003c\/h4\u003eThe closed design incorporates \u003cstrong\u003emultiple levels of passive acoustic attenuation\u003c\/strong\u003e to reduce external noise and limit leakage. This isolation allows you to listen at lower volumes while retaining detail and stay focused even in lively environments (sets, backstage, transport, open offices). During recording, it also helps minimize microphone bleed, a crucial point for clean recordings.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eVibration Attenuation System: Clearer Bass, Less Perceived Distortion\u003c\/h4\u003eSennheiser integrates a \u003cstrong\u003evibration attenuation system\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to reduce internal reflections and distortion (THD). The benefit is immediate in the low-frequency range: kick, bass, and sub-bass become easier to calibrate, with a better \"controlled\" bass sensation and clearer transient reading. This helps avoid excessive compensations (too much low-end or overly aggressive cuts) and secures the overall balance.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOptimized Ear Cup Geometry: More Consistent Transducer Placement\u003c\/h4\u003eThe ear cups are oriented according to an \u003cstrong\u003eoptimized geometry\u003c\/strong\u003e aiming for more consistent transducer positioning relative to the ear. The result: more uniform listening from session to session and better stability of the perceived image, useful for working on panning, depth, and reverbs, even on headphones.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eEfficient Transducers: Neodymium Magnets and Ultra-Light Voice Coil\u003c\/h4\u003eThe HD 480 PRO combines \u003cstrong\u003eneodymium magnets\u003c\/strong\u003e and an \u003cstrong\u003eultra-light voice coil\u003c\/strong\u003e to improve efficiency and responsiveness. This architecture favors dynamic and precise reproduction, with good element separation and a clear attack sensation, particularly appreciated for editing, rhythmic production, and compression control.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStudio-Designed Cable: Detachable, Lockable, and Noise-Reducing\u003c\/h4\u003eThe headphones come with a \u003cstrong\u003ecoiled cable\u003c\/strong\u003e whose structure is designed to block noise transmitted through the cable. The cable is \u003cstrong\u003edetachable and lockable\u003c\/strong\u003e, and can be connected on either the left or right ear cup: a real advantage depending on your audio interface setup, rack position, or editing workstation organization.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eComfort and Accessibility: Designed to Last a Full Day\u003c\/h4\u003eThe HD 480 PRO emphasizes \u003cstrong\u003eprecise adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e that limits pressure points and reduces sound leakage while remaining lightweight and flexible for long sessions. Patented accessibility features complete the package: \u003cstrong\u003ebraille left\/right markings\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003egrooved ear pads\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for users wearing glasses. The design is durable, meticulously engineered in Germany and hand-assembled in Romania, for a work tool built to keep up with session demands.\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecircumaural\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower handling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e300 MILLIWATT\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eclosed\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e130 Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic principle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eclosed-back\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEar coupling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecircumaural\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ebraille L\/R markings, grooved ear pads adapted for glasses wearers\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransducer principle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003edynamic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransducer diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e38 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e3 Hz to 28,700 Hz (-10 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e107 dB SPL (1 kHz \/ 1 Vrms)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum sound pressure level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e130 dB SPL (1 kHz, 5% THD)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion (THD)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u0026lt;
