Customer reviews about Sennheiser HD-490 PRO Plus

R

Extremely pleasant

RiAf 18.09.2024

The best thing i can say about these are that they're simply pleasant to listen to. Very comfortable, not fatiguing despite using for long hours. Sound is amazing, very natural. Case is nice and sturdy too, great for travel. The shipping process from Thomann was very quick and great too.

What an UPGRADE

Zaakkk 25.03.2025

I got my Sennheiser HD 490 Pro to replace an old Audio-Technica ATH-M50 X.
The DIFFERENCE is night and day. Head room, clarity and ability to hear the mix around me. I literally turned around to see where the sound was coming from.
I wish I knew how bad my old headphones were and never used such inferior quality.
They come with free dearVR "virtual studio" plugin. Nothing but cheap and nasty gimmick. Do yourself a favour and DON'T install it. It will make your gorgeous new Sennheiser headphones sound horrible. Trust me or check to see for yourself and quickly uninstall it.

Clean, balanced sound

Eminoid 18.10.2024

I've been using these cans for months and they are brilliant for long hours of use cuz they are lightweight and comfy, cans are a little bit narrower than 650s but it is not that of a big deal. Sonic wise they are really transparent and well balanced. Low end is quite impressive for open headphones.

Very solid

NIELSIR 01.02.2026

Great sound and more comfortable than my HD600s. Though I didn't find the sound all that different to the 600s and returned them. The search continues.

Accurate studio sound with great comfort

hasanuri 29.10.2025

These open-back headphones deliver a clean, neutral sound with excellent detail — ideal for mixing, editing or serious listening. The inclusion of two pad types (one for “producing”, one for “mixing”) lets you customise the sound character. They’re incredibly comfortable for long sessions, with a lightweight frame and soft ear-pads. The build is solid, and the extra accessories (carrying case, long cable) on the “Plus” version are a nice bonus. The only caveat: they leak a lot of sound and don’t isolate well — so best in a quiet room, not for noisy environments.

It feels so clean and light

MusicLover9043 21.11.2025

There are many great headphones on the market, but far fewer that are lightweight and don't put excessive pressure on the head. I am finally happy to be the owner of these headphones. They are light, and the superb accessories are worth the extra cost for the case alone. Ultimately, I received a product I would like to keep for a long time. The only downside is the cable, which is very difficult to straighten out and, in addition, is hard to detach from the mini XLR connector. Everything else is excellent.

Amazing Headphones

MATYMA 04.12.2024

everything is great, sound quality and also it has enough bass for open back. I use it with headphone amp Topping L50 and the sound is very powerful and crystal clear
