If you find the 7506 unpleasant to listen to due to their bristling highs and shallow wearing profile, you'll probably love the 280 Pro by comparison. The ear cups are only a notch below this level, with padding that's essentially unchanged from the older version, and openings that are nice and spacious in spite of the lack of angled drivers. On the Knife's "Silent Shout," the powerful thump of the kick drum loop is conveyed cleanly and accurately—the Knife mixed it so that you would hear tremendous low frequency content here—but not in a manner so over-the-top that it dominates the rest of the frequency range.

Lest this review begin to sound like a love letter, let me be clear about one thing: The HD 280 Pro is far from my favorite pair of headphones.But as someone who wears these headphones on a more or less daily basis, I can tell you they fit securely and comfortably for long sessions. I am using it with my Samsung phone, and it is able to drive it with an acceptable volume for my preferences.

However it’s a difference only seen on the graph, regardless of calibration being engaged or not, no audible distortion artefacts were spotted in listening tests. They're build like a rock like all Sennheiser products with that hard plastic Sennheisers use, and the cord/connection looks pretty think; I doubt it'll fray. The aforementioned NuForce will distort on deep bass tracks at higher volumes, but at modest volumes, and on genres that lack de The precision of a pair like the HD 280 Pro is more surgical than magical, but here is where it separates itself from the typical, flat, light-on-bass studio reference pair. I'm excited to check out the 300 Pro before the end of the year and do a full comparison, and I'm happy that Sennheiser managed to improve the 280 Pro in this light redesign.When I come back, the consensus is "the senn hd280 is crap, has always been crap, and will continue to be crap" now I'm a bit confused as just 5 years ago it was considered quite nice. If you purchase our extended warranty for this product, we'll extend the money-back guarantee period to 14 days and the warranty period to 1 years.

They’re not the most accurate headphones, and they surely aren’t the most comfortable, but the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro have earned their place as an industry standard regardless. What that means is that it helps me through school and I get all the perks (and downfalls) that entails. i would have given it 9 for sound quality but then i said to myself how much would i give to the ath-m50s then!right-angled 3-pole jack plug with adapter thread (adapter model 543684 not included) for HD 25-1 II 70 ohms. Also, the two pads flanking the cutout are larger than the old pad, and incredibly soft and squishy. The Beyerdynamics are far more comfortable and far better for mixing and mastering purposes in my opinion. It feels like Sennheiser started with the diffuse field target response (that the DT770's are also tuned to) and then just kind of messed with it until they liked it. His sense of humour, coupled with a knack for excellence and strict attention to detail are what allow him to stand out in an crowded industry.
