Sennheiser's ruggedly constructed HD 280 Pro high-performance headphones feature comfortable leatherette ear cushions, a headband, and a foldable design for compact storage. Weighing a relatively lightweight 10 ounces, this $199 model has a 10-foot coiled cable fitted with a 1/8-inch miniplug.

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

Pricey

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

Great headphone **FOR THE PRICE**. These headphones sound good, and are an amazing buy for the money. They are by no means the nicest sounding headphones, but again, they're budget friendly, would recommend.

I have an older pair of AKG headphones with great, flat frequency response. But those are semi-open, so there's noise bleed from the outside when I'm trying to mix. I bought these Sennheiser phones because of consistently high reviews and their closed-back design.

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 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"...

We saw some complaints at Amazon.com that the plastic headband is vulnerable to cracking, but if this happens, the damage is covered under Sennheiser's two-year warranty. Aside from this problem, durability is excellent; one owner who claims to be "pretty rough with my equipment" says they're still...

Good sound quality; Passive noise blocking; Durable build

Uncomfortable for some users; Bulky

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.

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

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.
