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 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.

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'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

fantastic sound; comfortable to wear; inexpensive for quality

Quite large

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.

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.

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.
