THE DIFFERENCES, MADE VISIBLE

Visual facts

Differences first. Select a topic for its graphic, sources and conditions.

How to read this comparison
  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.
FEATURES SIDE BY SIDE8 topics

Yes and No describe the listed feature. Missing evidence stays unverified.

SELECTED TOPIC

Impedance

Nominal electrical load, not sound quality or loudness. Output capability and headphone sensitivity matter together; impedance alone cannot decide whether an amplifier is needed.

Explore the full specifications

Start with your listening environment. Open and closed earcups suit different surroundings. A closed back is not the same as active noise cancellation. Check the exact cable and headphone output. We do not turn impedance, driver size or unpaired lab results into a sound-quality score.

WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Sennheiser HD 480 PRO

What it brings

  • The closed back is rated for a maximum acoustical attenuation of 35 dB at 5 kHz; Sennheiser says its multiple stages of passive sound shielding maintain audio signal integrity, and it names mixing and on-the-go music production, in the studio and beyond, among the applications.
    Manufacturer source
  • Sensitivity is stated both per volt (107 dB SPL) and per milliwatt (98 dB SPL) at 130 Ω, which helps when matching it to an interface or headphone amplifier.
    Manufacturer source
  • The cable detaches and can be fitted to either ear cup, the velour pads are washable and replaceable, and Sennheiser describes the headphones as fully serviceable.
    Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

  • The standard 700499 box has only the 3 m coiled cable and a protective carrying bag (PRO headphone bag); 1.8 m and 3 m cables, a balanced cable and the recording pad set are listed as separate accessories, and the travel case comes with the separate PRO Plus article.
    Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
  • There is no microphone, wireless connection or active noise cancellation; noise reduction comes only from the closed passive design.
