Sennheiser HD 480 PRO Professional Closed-Back Studio Headphones

HD 480 PRO professional closed-back studio headphones deliver a precise, uncoloured sound that lets you hear nothing but the truth, whether you are mixing in the studio or producing on the move. Combining Sennheiser’s Vibration Attenuation System with multiple stages of passive sound shielding, they preserve the integrity of your audio so every decision you make is based on what is really in your mix.

Handcrafted using durable, built-to-last components and a lightweight, flexible chassis, HD 480 PRO are designed for long sessions where comfort and focus are non-negotiable. Precision-engineered ergonomics eliminate pressure points, while the closed-back, precision-fit design minimises leakage and keeps you locked into the sound, not the surroundings.

Backed by decades of Sennheiser engineering, these headphones offer full-spectrum accuracy with an honest frequency response and exceptional low-end clarity. The geometrically angled earcup design optimises transducer placement for a consistent listening experience, while state-of-the-art neodymium magnets and an ultralight voice coil deliver dynamic, authentic audio reproduction that translates across systems.

With detachable cabling, patented cable noise reduction and accessibility-focused touches such as braille-guided L/R earcups and grooved ear pads for glasses wearers, HD 480 PRO are ready to slot seamlessly into modern professional workflows. Designed for mixing, editing and detailed listening both in the studio and beyond, they are a powerful tool for any producer or engineer who demands accuracy, comfort and reliability in equal measure.

Hear Nothing but the Truth

HD 480 PRO’s closed-back architecture uses multiple stages of passive sound shielding alongside Sennheiser’s Vibration Attenuation System to keep external noise and internal reflections under control. The result is a clean, honest representation of your audio, so you can trust what you are hearing when balancing complex arrangements, fine-tuning low end or checking translation at low volumes.

Full-Spectrum, Uncoloured Sound

Harnessing decades of German engineering, HD 480 PRO delivers an uncoloured frequency response that reveals the full spectrum of your mix. The Vibration Attenuation System continuously reduces distortion and reflected sound, while the geometrically angled earcups optimise transducer placement. Subtle details, transient information and ambience come through clearly, helping you make confident, repeatable decisions.

Remarkable Comfort for Long Sessions

Designed for professionals who spend hours at a time in headphones, HD 480 PRO features a lightweight, flexible frame and precision-fit ergonomics that adapt to different head shapes. Pressure points are minimised for long-term comfort, and the closed-back fit is engineered to reduce audio leakage, keeping your monitoring consistent and distraction-free throughout the session.

Professional-Grade Design and Accessibility

From the state-of-the-art neodymium magnets and ultralight voice coil to the detachable cable system, HD 480 PRO is built for demanding studio environments. Patented cable technology helps block cable-borne noise, and right/left ear jacks make it easy to configure your setup. Accessibility-focused features, including braille-guided L/R markings and grooved ear pads for eyeglasses, ensure a professional experience for a wide range of users.

• Closed-Back Design with Multi-Stage Shielding - The innovative closed-back construction uses multiple layers of passive sound shielding to maintain audio signal integrity. This helps isolate you from external noise and reduces internal reflections, so you can focus on the true sound of your mix without distraction.
• Vibration Attenuation System for Low-End Clarity - Sennheiser’s Vibration Attenuation System works to reduce distortion and reflected sound, particularly in the low frequencies. This gives you a tighter, more accurate bass response, making it easier to judge kick, bass and sub information with confidence.
• Precision-Fit Comfort for Long Sessions - A lightweight, flexible chassis and carefully engineered ergonomics eliminate pressure points and help prevent fatigue. The precision-fit design adapts to different head sizes while minimising audio leakage, providing a secure, comfortable fit that supports hours of focused listening.
• Professional Connectivity and Accessibility - Detachable cabling with right and left ear jacks allows easy integration into different studio setups, while a patented cable coil structure helps block cable-borne noise. Braille-guided L/R markings and grooved ear pads for glasses wearers enhance accessibility and usability in everyday professional workflows.
