How our reviews work

  • A few days after your order ships we'll email you a link to leave a review. When your feedback is published it will carry a Customer verified badge, so others know it came from a real order with us.
  • We only ever edit a review to remove profanity, spam, or personal details - otherwise it's published exactly as written, good or bad. We won’t ever remove or edit critical ones.
  • You don't need to have bought a product from us to review it - if you know the product, we want you to let other shoppers know what you honestly think, using the form on the product page. These are moderated in the same way, but won't carry our Customer verified badge.

Sennheiser HD 490 PRO studio monitor headphones

The Sennheiser HD 490 PRO are open-back studio monitor headphones designed for accurate listening during music production, mixing and mastering.

Their wide soundstage and uncoloured frequency response give you a clear view of the detail in a mix, while the open-frame design helps reduce resonance and distortion.

Two sets of interchangeable ear pads

Two different sets of ear pads are included, each with its own sound signature for producing and mixing. The pads can be switched to suit the task at hand and are both washable and replaceable, helping to extend the working life of the headphones.

Engineered for accurate monitoring

The HD 490 PRO uses an open-frame architecture designed to reduce resonance and harmonic distortion. Its internal construction works alongside the neodymium magnets and low-frequency cylinder system to deliver a clear and detailed response across the frequency range.

Designed for long studio sessions

The lightweight, flexible construction is designed to reduce pressure points, while the open-back design allows natural ventilation. The detachable cable can be connected to either the left or right earcup, giving you more flexibility when setting up in the studio.

Practical features for professional use

The HD 490 PRO features 3.5 mm and 6.3 mm connections, along with braille-guided left and right earcups and grooved ear pads for glasses. The headphones are engineered in Germany and hand-assembled in Romania.
