When I was in college, any free time I could muster up was spent recording music on my PC with programs like Reason 3.0 and ProTools. The problem was that my roommate had to rise and shine for a 6 A.M. Read more

I'm a drummer. I'm originally from Brazil. I play in a band called Glint. The Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Headphones is the ones I've been using for the last couple of years for rehearsals, studio recordings and live performances. Read more

These are super comfortable headphones with poofy padded ear pieces and padding along the inner band for the head, to make it more comfortable even on top of the head while wearing them. Read more

It is rare when, as a studio owner, a new headphone comes along that provides enough value and quality to make you consider ditching your current collection. Read more

Overall, these headphones have been outstanding and I am very happy with them. They have gotten many hours of use over the last 2 years, and they have been completely reliable with no degradation in sound quality or comfort. Read more

Still, though, if you'd like some packable, wearable, isolating, good-sounding 'phones for the office, LAN party, crèche, server room or long train trip, you could do a lot worse than check the HD 280 Pro out. Read more

The Sennheiser HD280 headphones have a frequency response of 8Hz – 25000 kHz. Not only that, but they offer an impedance of 64 ohm and a sensitivity of 113 dB. These are the perfect headphones for all of your studio needs. Read more

Love these headphones! I use them in a studio setup instead of monitors for the time being (I know not ideal but it saved me $$$) They reproduce audio very accurate and bring out the bass that my computer and some computer... Read more

Overall a great set of headphones, not long after i tried them out, i was out flaunting my new hardware to my buddies. Gotta say, they sound great even without the AMP, and would recommend anyone to buy them. Read more
- Great Bass
- Needs an amp to get the entire package.
Finally, headphones made well.

After blowing a lot of money on Bose headphones, these really are well designed, well made and perform better. Bose appear to be designed to last about a month or two. Read more or see product

I use these headphones with my Yaesu FT-920 and they are clear with some "over ears" base sound, but not to much so. They are still crisp and clear sounding. AM, SSB and CW come through equally well. Read more
Great headphones for the price!

Best pair of closed-back headphones I've ever owned. The price is high, but fair considering the level of quality (They won't break the bank like some audiophile 'phones). Read more

If all your looking for is the quality of sound go for these. However they arent something youll be walking around with all day. The cord is also a bit heavy and long so you might have to hide it somewhere. Read more
- Wonderful sound quality, comfortable, and durable.
- You look like a complete idiot wearing these. You also cant wear them around your neck for style.
Great closed headphones for the price!

By far the best headphones I have ever used. Extremely nice bass response, but also great at picking up even the faintest treble details in games and movies. You HAVE to hear an arty strike in BF2 using these! Read more
