Sennheiser has released its flagship closed‑back studio headset, the HD 480 PRO, targeting engineers who need pinpoint low‑end clarity and long‑term comfort. Designed with a patented vibration‑attenuation system, the headphones promise tight bass and a noise‑isolated listening field—features that have frustrated many closed‑back users in the past in professional mixing sessions and live tracking situations today daily.

Compared to other closed‑back models, the HD 480 PRO delivers a super‑accurate low‑end, according to Jimmy R. Landry, Sennheiser’s Music Industry market manager. The headset’s 38‑mm drivers and 3‑to‑28,700‑Hz response curve keep the soundstage tight while the 272‑gram enclosure keeps engineers focused for hours without pressure points on the temples or glasses and ear pads for comfort.

Sennheiser’s patented Special Axes Geometry adapts the ear cups to every head shape, while a coiled cable near the earcup isolates the unit from desk‑borne noise. The 3‑meter cable, detachable and braille‑marked, lets producers route the left or right side as needed, making the headset versatile for studio, field, and mobile use in professional work.

Priced at €399, the HD 480 PRO comes with recording‑grade ear pads, a 3‑meter coiled cable, and a carrying bag. A higher‑tier Plus version adds a travel case and retails for €439. For engineers who demand isolation without sacrificing bass fidelity, the new headset offers a compelling blend of precision, comfort, and durability for every professional audio.
