The ear pads are washable and replaceable – for greater sustainability.

Included is the innovative plugin dearVR MIX-SE from Dear Reality. With this, you are always in the sweet spot and can transform your DAW into the ultimate virtual mixing environment. dearVR MIX-SE simulates the carefully tuned acoustics of an ideal stereo mixing studio. This ensures that your mix sounds consistently good on different playback systems. With the HD 490 PRO, you can fully realize your creative vision.
