Sennheiser's versatile headphones sound great on DVDs and all kinds of music.

Lightweight and comfortable design; sealed ear cups isolate wearer from ambient noise; headphones fold for compact storage.

Pricey.

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

The Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, a $99.95 (direct) headphone pair designed for professional studio use, was released in 2003, before I began writing for PCMag. However, I often use it as something of a standard to A-B test similar types of pairs with, so it seemed appropriate to give a proper full-length...

Accurate, clean audio performance across the full frequency range; Comfortable, secure fit for long listening sessions; Durable.

Cable is not detachable; More appropriate for professional/studio use than personal listening

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 use since 2006, it is therefore 8 years already. I have other models, but between it and me, it's a long story "love", who knows why? :) For its price, I find it excellent. That said, for the record, and because there is always relativized, a friend who tried it told me that it was "a pure dobe"...

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.

Hi, The 280 pro as a great value headphone, but it does have a few problems. First, the bass extends very low, but its not very strong, it does respond well to equalization though. Second, the highs can be a bit harsh/grating the highs extend very high.

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's HD 280 model headphones come in three variants - the Pro, the Silver and the 13. The HD 280-Pro is the original design and is uniform in colour and has 64 Ohm impedance. The Silver is technically identical to the Pro but has a plastic silver-coloured back-plate on each phone.

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.
