Rich, warm sound signature that most listeners will enjoy, though audiophiles may want more neutrality.
Sennheiser HD 480 Pro
Reviewers converge on a balanced, natural tuning with deep but controlled bass, a clear top end and a surprisingly wide stereo image for a closed-back — engaging enough to enjoy music with, neutral enough to make most mix decisions on. The one recurring caveat is a mild mid-bass lift that keeps it from being perfectly flat.

Premium build and excellent comfort, though slightly heavier than the previous generation.
Sennheiser HD 480 Pro
Comfort is the HD 480 Pro's most universally praised quality — a 272g build, plush velour pads and very little clamping pressure let it disappear on your head for hours. A clever glasses comfort zone in the pads and a solid, replaceable build round it out; the only gripes are velour-only pads and the heat they trap in warm rooms.
