    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

    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. They are a bit pricier than other headphones, but are worth the investment if you plan to do a lot of listening at home and enjoy the higher level of sound quality that a good pair of headphones can provide.

    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. Sennheiser's new HD 280 Professional headphone ($199) may do just that.. Read more

    It is one of the best headphones I have purchase, comparable to the higher brands! I used this mainly to do my work without disturbance and it helps sealing out the noise from the surrounding. Couple of times I nearly engaged a heart attack when someone just stood over me, without me even knowing they entered the room. Read more

    If you're into Audio Production, Crankin your music up, and/or INTENSE gaming then I honestly suggest these headphones. I go to the Art Institute of Seattle and I was given these in my "kit". I guess I'm suppose to use them for putting audio into my animation but... they're freakin sweet! So I use to use them back when I WoW'd it out and such. They're perfect for drowning out your room mate and those sirens you hear from all the murders and robberies in downtown Seattle.... Read more

    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! It will blow you away. If you don't have a nice surround sound system, these will do as an alternative. They do very nicely with simulated surround. The price may turn many away from this product, and you may want to buy a cheaper set of Sony headphones, but you... Read more
