It is rare when, as a studio owner, a new headphone comes along that provides enough value and quality to make you consider ditching your current collection. Sennheiser's new HD 280 Professional headphone ($199) may do just that..

Overall, these headphones have been outstanding and I am very happy with them. They have gotten many hours of use over the last 2 years, and they have been completely reliable with no degradation in sound quality or comfort.

Still, though, if you'd like some packable, wearable, isolating, good-sounding 'phones for the office, LAN party, crèche, server room or long train trip, you could do a lot worse than check the HD 280 Pro out.

Overall, we are pleased with these headphones. They are well made, and have a very clear and uncolored sound, which is want you need for studio headphones. The noise cancelling is very good also.

Clear Sound; Durable; Easy To Use

Bulky/Heavy; Coiled Cord Tangles Up

These were a gift and, after researching all brands, I dont think I could have made a better choice myself.

With the clarity; quality of sound; and comfort combo; these were perfect for my needs.

The only con is the heavy cord makes it less mobile

I've been using this set of headphone for over eight years now, and time and time again I am astounded by their quality that has stood the test of time like no other headphone I've owned.

Clear Sound; Durable

I have had a couple pairs of Sennehiser's and I have always been happy with there sound. And the sound and quality are always exceptional. I have tested this pair and compared it to others in it's class for sound and quality and I feel more then satisfied with them for daily use.

I must concede that I am a bit of audiophile. Earphones/headphones don't cut it for me unless and until I can hear almost every background instrument as well. Previously, I had Beats by Dr. Dre, which I have reviewed earlier.

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.

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.
