perfect for the price. I bought my pair when they were [price] back in 2007. recently bought a pair of the audiophile series headphones and was NOT impressed. Ended up bringing them back because I didn't like the fact that there was too much sound escaping and that the subharmonic frequencies...

I purchased these headphones as I was sick of the creaking noise from my older TDK units. I wanted to have very good audio as I'm slowly losing my hearing and I wanted to be sure it was me and not the music that was waning.

I love them, they don't look amazing but the sound quality is brilliant. The bass is good and most of all a bomb could go off next to you and you wouldn't hear it. I highly recommend this product.

Brilliant headphone. Very comfortable to use for long durations. Midrange accuracy is amazing! Good low end and high end response. Delivered within 3 days.

The Sennheiser HD 280 Pro is a very good quality headset for the price. They do a very good job blocking outside noise and they also keep from leaking sound. The adjustable and rotative cups make them flexible and easy to store away.

Reliability

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.

Accurate reproduction, good seal around ears without the awkward noise cancelling suction). Little to complain about, a no nonsense headphone. They fold, to make them slightly less inconvenient.

excellent performance for studio monitoring, i would suggest this to any sound pro person, who is conscious about quality sound, little uncomfertable and bulky on small head but overall good

Comfortable; Durable; Good Value; Great Sound

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.

These are excellent headphones, offering a premium quality full spectrum of sound (great highs, mids, and lows) as well as sealing your music in and peripheral noise out. The ear pieces fold flat so you can easily transport them in a case with other things or by themselves.
