Although I haven’t had much experience with good headphones, these do the trick. They sound great to me and fit well (stay on your head when you move around.) I also like that the 1/4” adapter tip screws on to the 1/8” tip for a secure connection. I do find that, after a while, they get a little warm on the ears, but I imagine that’s just a function of how well they seal off external sound, i.e.- closed-back design.

Once again I purchased another Sennheiser product and once again I am very pleased that I did. Oh yes I may have paid a little more for it but in the end this is a very good product as are all the SENNHEISER products I have purchased tru the years. The bass is there as well as the high's and mid tones on the HD 280 headphones. I compaired several different kinds @ different prices and I kept going back to Sennheiser HD280. I would recommend this headphone to anyone for whatever they are doing. This model is not wireless as this was not an issue for me in a recording studio. Sennheiser makes wireless headphones if that is what you need. This review is about quality of sound and product. It is my opinion as a musician and recording engineer that the sound quality would be hard to beet as would the quality of the product it's self. Headphones can take a beating in a studio or on stage and all of my Sennheiser products have held up very well with sound that is extremely impressive. The Sennheiser HD 280 sounds better than I expected. They are comfortable I wear these 4 to 6 hours @ a time and other than a readjustment are very comfortable. The padding is soft , the headphones are not too heavy. I couldn't be more pleased with the Sennheiser HD 280. They are collapsible for easy packing and they come with 1/4 and 1/8 inch plug so I can plug them into my computer or into the audio interface which is very convenient. I have had other brands of head phones but they do not compare to the Sennheiser HD 280. Read full review

These headphones have the most amazing sound! They do beautiful justice to all ranges. I was afraid the bass would be muddy, but that hasn't been the case. They rest comfortably on my head, do not feel tight at all. They truly block out a lot of sound, so prepare to get lost in them for hours! I've owned the Senn's HD497 for about 15 yrs now and they have always been my "go to", but these 280's are nudging them out for favorite. I've seen comments about tightness. Personally, (maybe thanks to my small head), I can't report any discomfort with these whereas my old pair would make my ears achey after an hr or two. It's a relief to say these haven't done that! Only once, my left ear was feeling sore, but I readjusted them on my head & they were fine again. You gotta find that 'sweet spot'. I'll return with an 'update' review once I've gotten some proper usage out of these as I've read they take about 200 hrs to burn in. Although, I can't imagine these sounding any better than they already do! Go ahead and get yourself these if you've been debating on them. For the price they are listing at now, it's a proper deal and you won't be disappointed.Read full review

Your headphones out performed all other headphones that were tested. The first 4 sets went over so well, another 2 sets were ordered. You would have a hard time matching their performance for a price anywhere near their cost. Most of the commercial radio stations in this area use them.

My first impression is that the sound quality is great for a $100 headphone. The EQ seems a little flat in the upper midrange to high frequencies. Not too excessive bass but that’s a good thing. The noise isolation is one of the best in its class but that is probably a result of the closed back and high clamping force. My only grouse is the comfort. This headphone clamps over the ears very tightly. My temples are very sensitive and this hurts my head after only a couple minutes. It is however lightweight enough and the padded headband rests comfortably on the top of my head.
