Sennheiser HD 480 PRO Plus – Professional Closed-Back Studio Headphones The Sennheiser HD 480 PRO Plus are professional closed-back studio headphones designed for demanding music creators, sound engineers, and producers working in both studio and touring environments. The Plus model stands out with a set of premium ear pads and professional accessories that elevate comfort and functionality to the highest level. Thanks to German engineering and hand assembly in Romania, these headphones combine the reliability, precision, and durability that professionals expect from top-tier studio equipment. Product Features The closed-back design ensures faithful reproduction of the full frequency range and effective acoustic isolation, which is crucial during recording and mixing. The Vibration Damping System (VAS) reduces reflections and distortion (THD), guaranteeing clear and precise bass. The geometrically shaped ear cup optimizes transducer placement, while the latest neodymium magnets ensure high performance and efficiency. The ultra-light voice coil translates into authentic and dynamic sound reproduction. The spring-structured cable effectively blocks cable-borne noise, and the detachable mini-XLR (4-pin) connectors on both ear cups allow for easy configuration and cable replacement without the need for servicing. Precision and Comfort in Every Situation Sennheiser HD 480 PRO Plus headphones are designed with long studio sessions and demanding working conditions in mind. Patented accessibility features, such as L/R markings in Braille and grooved ear pads for glasses wearers, make this model exceptionally user-friendly. The supremely comfortable fit eliminates pressure points and minimizes sound leakage, allowing you to focus fully on your creative work. With a sensitivity of 107 dBSPL (1 kHz / 1 Vrms) and a maximum sound pressure level of 130 dB (1 kHz @ 5% THD), these headphones handle even the most dynamic musical material. The 130 ohm impedance ensures that the HD 480 PRO Plus work well with both professional audio interfaces and portable devices, while maintaining full control over the signal and low distortion. The closed-back construction makes these headphones ideal for studio environments where isolation from external sounds and minimizing sound leakage into microphones is key. This allows you to work with vocal and instrumental recordings without worrying about unwanted artifacts in the track. The VAS vibration damping system further eliminates unwanted cabinet resonances, resulting in clean and clear sound across the entire frequency range.
