Sennheiser recently introduced the HD 490 PRO headphones in the Chinese market, following its launch in India. These headphones are praised for their blend of clarity, comfort, and reliability. The HD 490 PRO is considered a top choice for users seeking quality audio experiences.
Innovative Sound Technology
The Sennheiser HD 490 PRO boasts an open architecture that offers a broad, three-dimensional soundstage and optimal audio performance. Featuring a 38mm dynamic unit with a frequency response range of 5 to 36000Hz and an impedance of 1300, these headphones promise exceptional sound quality. The advanced neodymium magnetic core and unique low-frequency cylinders enhance bass precision, making them ideal for mixing and mastering tasks.
Enhanced Features and Functionality
Equipped with two sets of ear pads tailored for mixing and production activities, the Sennheiser HD 490 PRO ensures versatility in usage. The detachable cables on the left and right jacks can be connected to either side of the XLR cable. Additionally, the headset includes Braille instructions and earpad support for improved hygiene. With the integration of Dear Reality’s DearVR MIX-SE plug-in, users can create an immersive virtual mixing environment for seamless transitions and balanced audio output.
Pricing & Availability
The Sennheiser HD 490 PRO is now available in China through various retail platforms like JD.com, priced at an introductory rate of 3,499 yuan ($487). In contrast, the initial price of the HD 490 PRO in India last month stood at Rs. 27,590 ($333). Interestingly, the Chinese market is selling the product at a higher price point, which is uncommon considering Chinese models typically offer lower prices compared to global versions.
