Critics' Consensus

“The Sennheiser HD 490 PRO are open‑back, over‑ear headphones designed for studio analysis, offering excellent frequency response and comfort with dual earpads for producing or mixing. Their main weakness is the lack of noise isolation and audio leakage, making them unsuitable for commuting, travel or noisy office environments.”
