hd 280 pro
exceptional sound and accuracy for the price. The only flaw was they were very uncomfortable. The part that goes on the top of your head gives me a headache. I can't wear them for more than 15 minutes without a headache. Even when adjusting the sides it still puts pressure on my dome piece.

Extreme clamping force, very poor quality earpads, suckout in upper bass and lower mids (requires several minutes to seal to get better bass and mids and reduce hollow sound), and a bit too much highs around 7 and 9 khz making a slight zingy sound.

Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Circumaural Closed-Back Monitor Headphones - Brand New review
There are some diamonds in the rough of the sub-$100 price point; the HD 280 Pros are not one of them.

While there are some diamonds in the rough of the sub-$100 price point, the HD 280 Pros are not one of them. With significant issues in audio performance, the Sennheiser HD 280 Pros are a strange outlier in the Sennheiser lineup.

These headphones are too inexpensive for how good they are
Buy these. You won't be disappointed. They provide excellent passive noise cancellation. Many audio professionals (engineers, radio djs, even football coaches) use these headphones because of their true response and circum-aural design.

Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Circumaural Closed-Back Monitor Headphones - Brand New review
The Sennheiser HD 280 pro studio headphones are designed for professional audio engineers and musicians seeking high-quality, neutral sound monitoring. Featuring a closed-back, circumaural design, these headphones block up to 32dB of outside noise, allowing you to focus on the details of your mix.

"An excellent pair of headphones for tracking and mixing."
I would specifically describe the sound as clear. A quick check of the frequency chart included in the manual suggests slight dips in the mid bass and at about 3 - 5 Khz, and listening confirms this.

I'm not an experienced headphone enthusiast so there could be better product for similar $$ but I would think any difference would be spiting hairs sound wise or preferences I like the Senns sound anyway .
Pros:
- Good bass decent highs and mids (if you like the Senns sound ) they have good vocal and percussion pop .I like them much better than my KRK KNS 8400
Cons:
- None for the $99.00 or a little more here

Sennheiser?HD 280
I don't actually know the model year, but these phones have been around for about 10 years according to HeadRoom. I got mine about 3 years ago or so. I picked them out based on the data at HeadRoom, since there are not many good headphones sold locally.

Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Headphones
Sennheiser's HD 280s are a perennial favorite among budget-minded audiophiles. And listening to their balanced, flat tonal presentation you can see why. If there's any hint of coloration (anywhere), I certainly couldn't find it. That's great if you happen to be mixing an album.
