Welcome to my listing for my excellent condition Sennheiser HD480 Canford Audio Level Limited headphones. These headphones are in very good condition and in full working order. Please see my other listings for a Canford Audio headphone amp that is suitable for these headphones.

These are professional monitoring headphones, as used by the BBC. Here is some information from the Canford Audio website. They have an RRP of £180 :

"The Sennheiser HD480 headphone is an open back type headphone with 1700 ohm capsules. In order to distinguish these headphones from standard non-protected versions, they are distinctively marked on the ear shell. Limiting level is fixed at 85dBA (green trim ring), 88dBA (red trim ring) or 93dBA (grey or blue trim ring) (note 1). Standard connector options are available, and because the limiter is within the capsule, it is possible to use spare or replacement leads, as for standard versions.

All types have interwoven copper/Kevlar cables for extra strength. As with in-line limiters, each headphone is individually calibrated, and as each capsule has its own individually calibrated limiter, spare limited capsules are available.

Single-sided cables connect to the left earpiece, with a loop over the headband to the right earpiece; a fixing kit is supplied to hold the cable onto the headband. Note that in these versions, the earpieces are mounted onto the headband the opposite way up (connector at the top)."

Thank you for looking.
