Overview
- The HD 480 PRO, introduced Tuesday, is on sale now for $479 in the U.S., with a $519 Plus version that adds a travel case.
- The closed-back design targets studio recording and live monitoring by blocking outside noise and limiting sound leakage to microphones.
- The headphones use a vibration attenuation system and a short coiled section in the cable to cut handling noise and preserve clarity.
- Comfort features include cushioned temple pads for people who wear glasses and a fit that spreads pressure evenly for long sessions, borrowing from the open-back HD 490 PRO.
- Published specs list 38mm dynamic drivers, a 3–28,700 Hz frequency range, 130 Ω impedance, 272 g weight, and a detachable cable that connects on either side.
