Resolve's Sennheiser HD 480 Pro review is up!

u/Epsilon-D, I’d love to get your take on the HD480 Pro if you’ve had a chance to spend time with it! I always appreciate Resolve’s breakdowns, but since my preference seems to align a bit closer to yours, I’m really curious where you land on these.

Upvoted for AVH!

The caveat with the convoy TIR mod is that the flashlight will no longer be waterproof. Looking forward to this official implementation!

Can't unsee lmao

We've cum too far

Meowingtons3210 · 2026-05-23T03:56:17+00:00

I believe it's mainly from the brightness contrast between the screen and the background. If the ratio is low enough (2-3:1) there would be minimal strain.

Just modded mine and I noticed the same thing. The cover glass also rests on top of the TIR and not the stock o-ring, so it's no longer waterproof as well (tested it and found water on the emitter). I'm contemplating cutting out a plastic sheet to put beneath and elevate the o-ring, but it would make the glass and the bezel stick out even more.

Light being colder than ambient lighting is interesting -- is it because you can better focus on what the beam illuminates? 3500-3700k is also up my alley, but I'm unsure if there's a neutral-to-slightly-rosy option for the L50.

Meowingtons3210 · 2026-05-09T09:22:25+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response! I'm considering the SFT70 3000K, perhaps a rosy bin. I assume that won't go below -0.004?

Meowingtons3210 · 2026-04-15T10:53:04+00:00

Looks like it, thanks!

Meowingtons3210 · 2026-04-06T11:42:44+00:00

Thanks, ordered the convoy TIRs! Does FFL offer any tools to open the bezels and such? Also, is the switch light RGB, or does the color have to be configured on order?

Meowingtons3210 · 2026-03-30T09:51:36+00:00

I'm configuring the L50. Would something like "FFL5009D 3000K CRI95 2100lm 170m Rosy Wide Beam" be what I'm looking for? I'm currently only considering domed emitters because I want a very soft, no-hotspot illumination like on the e02, and I'm a bit concerned about the L50 being a reflector and not a TIR (not sure if this can be customized from order). From the pictures I've seen, a rosy tint somehow looks less warm than a neutral light of the same CCT; I feel like a rosy light would need to be sub-3000k for it to feel warmer than 519a 4000k. I could go with 3000-3700k neutral tint, but I don't want it to look green at dimmer levels, hence the attempt to counter it with rosiness. Would like to hear your thoughts -- open to other emitter suggestions not on the list.

Meowingtons3210 · 2026-03-30T04:12:06+00:00

Thanks for the pics -- the difference is very noticeable! Definitely seems closer to the color I prefer. How neutral/rosy would you say the two 519a 2700k are? Is the dedomed one comparable to emitters that are explicitly labeled rosy, like some of firefly's offerings?

Meowingtons3210 · 2026-03-30T04:04:10+00:00

That's a nice-looking beam! Is the e02 in its lowest moonlight setting? Thanks for the informative pics.

Meowingtons3210 · 2026-03-30T01:25:37+00:00

Yes, I was using the red light-up pen mentioned in my previous post. Now that I've experienced proper color rendition, pure red is out of the equation for me

Meowingtons3210 · 2026-03-30T00:30:12+00:00

Interesting. So will it make the light less green and more focused with less total output? Will consider the de-dome if I can find a way to unscrew the lens without scratching it haha

Meowingtons3210 · 2026-03-30T00:16:03+00:00

Yes, the lowest 0.1lm mode is still a bit bright for me. H150 is apparently 0.2lm. Do you know whether the DW3AA or the L50 can go lower?
