When working at home or in the studio, you need your mix to sound as it does when your listeners hear it. The HD 400 PRO reference headphones are your everyday tool to get the job done. Its open-back design provides a natural and accurate listening experience for fine tuning your signature sound. The core of the HD 400 PRO is the 120 ohm transducer developed by Sennheiser engineers, featuring a specialised polymer blend in its diaphragm. The drive magnet offers high power while its damping system manages ventilation — this combination yields deeper bass while mitigating the distortion that otherwise impacts clarity — a difference our professional users will appreciate. This makes the HD 400 PRO a precise monitoring tool which reveals your mix in every detail.
Velour earpads and a distinct lightweight design provide the comfort you need during long sessions. The robust housing endures everyday wear and tear regardless of your application, whether editing, mixing or mastering. A single-sided and coiled cable gives you the freedom to operate. For convenience, a straight cable is also included in the delivery. In addition, open ear cups and angled transducers allow for a wide and transparent soundstage, recreating the optimal listening position found in high-end recording studios. Artifacts of a confined space are a thing of the past. The HD 400 PRO is a true reliable companion for those who put quality and precision above all else.
The frequency range of HD 400 PRO was developed to be honest across the board, especially when it comes to the lower end of the spectrum. The angled transducer design allows for unique stereo imaging, reproducing the spatial sound of your mix. In other words, what goes in is what comes out. Reproducing analytical audio, the HD 400 PRO reference headphones are your everyday tool to get the job done. Open ear cups allow for a wide and transparent soundstage, recreating the optimal listening position found in high-end recording studios. Artifacts of a confined space are a thing of the past. These studio headphones do not construe, but rather ensure neutral transparency – the groundwork for the best mixes.
Let's face it, mixing sessions are never quick. The HD 400 PRO's lightweight design allows you to focus on your project for hours on end. Articulating earcups, velour earpads and an adjustable headband allow for adaptability and comfort to perfectly match the shape of your head. Our self-developed 120-ohm transducers are tuned for accuracy to deliver every detail of your mix. The highly efficient driver magnet provides clarity while its damping system manages ventilation. This results in deeper bass while extenuating distortion that otherwise impacts sound quality — a difference professional users will appreciate. The HD 400 PRO features a detachable coiled cable. For convenience, a straight cable is also included in the delivery. With a screw-on adapter you can connect to your mixing desk, audio interface or any audio device that has a 1/4-inch (6.3mm) or 1/8-inch (3.5mm) output.
