Sennheiser HD 480 PRO Professional Headphones
The Sennheiser HD 480 PRO is a professional closed-back studio headphone for recording, tracking, and monitoring, with honest full-spectrum audio reproduction. Its passive sound shielding and Vibration Attenuation System keep reflected sound and distortion under control so that you can work with more confidence. The lightweight, precision-fit design also remains comfortable during long sessions, helping to keep your attention on balance and detail rather than on the headphones themselves.

FAQs
Is the Sennheiser HD 480 PRO mainly for mixing or recording?
The Sennheiser HD 480 PRO covers recording, tracking, and monitoring - not just one part of the job. The closed-back design gives you the isolation needed for vocal takes, instrument tracking, and work in noisier or less controlled spaces. At the same time, the uncoloured response is there to keep playback honest, so you can still judge balance, detail, and low-end control properly. It suits users who need a single pair of headphones that can switch between capture and critical listening.
What does the Vibration Attenuation System actually do?
The Vibration Attenuation System is there to reduce reflected sound and distortion inside the headphone, so the signal reaching your ears stays cleaner. In practical use, that should help with hearing smaller details in dense arrangements and at the lower end. It is part of the reason why Sennheiser positions the HD 480 PRO as a headphone for accurate, reliable listening rather than just for isolation. The aim is to preserve the integrity of the audio signal, not to add character.
How do the HD 480 PRO headphones ensure comfort for long sessions?
Comfort is one of the main points of this model. The lightweight, flexible build and precision-fit design reduce pressure points, where many studio headphones become distracting. The fit also helps with isolation and leakage control, so the comfort work is not separate from the acoustic design. In practice, it is built for the kind of repeated long sessions that recording and editing work usually involves.

Buy now pay later
The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
