Pros: Exceptional sound, comfortable, built to last

Background I have used these headphones for almost 2 years now. They are currently plugged into my home PC, where they are used primarily for listening to MP3’s and playing games. I have also used them to watch movies by connecting them to ...

Pros: Great sound, lightweight, noise-cancelling, coiled cord, cheap
Cons: Big

I bought my HD-280s a while ago after reading great reviews about all the headphones in the Sennheiser line. These cans continue their tradition of incredible sound and great design.

Pros: Great sound, replaceable parts, comfortable to wear, great sound isolation
Cons: A little bulky for travel

Let me just start by saying that the Sennheiser HD-280 PRO headphones are absolutely amazing. They will allow you to hear detail and depth in your music that you never knew existed. With that said they may not be exactly what you want. Now on to the ...

Pros: Isolation, separation of sound, comfort, durability.
Cons: Not the deepest bass(but it is accurate)

I recently began radio broadcasting school and needed to get a solid pair of headphones at a reasonable price(under $100). I did alot of research around the internet and asked for opinions from people I know. My friends told me to buy closed cans over...

Pros: Clear sound, nice design, features, comfort, prize
Cons: none found

I collected money for some time to buy my first "real headphones". I knew one thing. It must be Sennheiser HD 280 Pro - design is excellent, circumaural earcups are very comfortable to wear. Sound is very clear, huge and with enough bass and...

Pros: Needs no expensive amplifier. Inexpensive. Quality/Value. Best at keeping music in, blocking noise out.
Cons: Some comfort issues with pressure squeeze on head. Can't hear the telephone ring.

The Sennheiser HD-280 PRO is sometimes referred to as just HD-280. They are the same headphone. The only other headphone in this price range that offers as good price/performance is the Grado SR-60. The Sennheiser HD-280 PRO is my best recommendation ...

Pros: Superb sound reproduction, flat response, one-sided coiled cord, closed, comfortable
Cons: Style, reveals flaws in source recording, pressure from headphones is rather heavy

Being a lover of good sound, I've become a headphone junkie after quickly discovering the high quality produced by high-end headphones. No longer can speakers satiate my desire for music. Working in a cube farm with managers kind enough to allow ...

Pros: Accurate sound, versatile swiveling/folding feature
Cons: Not as "detailed" or "airy" as higher-priced headphones

I've tried various closed-back full-size headphones that cost up to $200 from mass-market brands such as Sony, and I was almost universally disappointed in them. So I went to a Virgin Megastore and plopped down $99.95 plus tax for a pair of Sennheiser HD...

Pros: Incredible closed sound; noise attenuation; very durable.
Cons: Somewhat tight headband; not very attractive overall; not GREAT with MP3/AAC, but still very good.

I've read many reviews that call the Sennheiser HD 280 "The Dollar-For-Dollar Headphone Champ" (or something to that effect) and I can certainly see why so many people feel that way. If you're looking for closed-back headphones, I'm willing to bet that ...

Pros: Sound quality excellent. Sound reproduction accurate. Sound amazingly vibrant and warm.
Cons: Not easily portable. Reveals flaws in source material. Coiled cord.

I had read all the reviews before I purchased these earphones and I narrowed it down to the Sennheiser HD280 pro and the Sony V6. The Sennheiser HD 280 had a $10 rebate, so I went for those. I listened to them when I bought them, knowing they wouldn't ...

Pros: Isolation, separation of sound, comfort, durability.
Cons: Not the deepest bass(but it is accurate)

I recently began radio broadcasting school and needed to get a solid pair of headphones at a reasonable price(under $100). I did alot of research around the internet and asked for opinions from people I know. My friends told me to buy closed cans over...

Pros: Sound quality, great pricing, comfort and amazing bass and treble.
Cons: Not too good-looking and can get uncomfortable if worn for too long.

For a while now my ways of listening to my music library was through $10 Sony ear buds, a $100 JVC boom box and $30 PC speakers, all which were great and sounded very nice. But after I started listening to more and more music I was looking for something ...

Pros: accurate audio reproduction, 32db noise attenuation, sennheiser quality
Cons: alot of pro audio stores sell out of these headphones!

For over 50 years Sennheiser has been producing top studio and consumer grade audio products. this new headphone was designed for dj's and enviroments where monitoring in high noise were present. As a DJ myself I was looking to replace my worn out sony...

Pros: Awesome sound, great range, very flat response
Cons: None

I bought these when my 7 year old Optimus headphones (~$50 pair) broke. These Sennheisers are a huge improvement. The response is completely flat, they are much more comfortable than my other headphones. After extended wear (a few hours) they are...

Pros: Comfortable, and perfect for transcription and jazz
Cons: None to speak of

I purchased these earphones from etronics.com at about $80 well below the list price of other .com sellers. I am a grad student doing tons of close transcription of telephone and and video interactions so I needed a closed-ear set of headphones that I...
