Sennheiser Professional HD 280 PRO Over-Ear Monitoring Headphones

I selected noise cancellation headphones when browsing on amazon. When they arrived, I noted that they have no noise cancellation circuitry. This is the fault of Amazon for not advertising them correctly. As for performance, sound quality, etc. I cannot comment since I never used them. They appear to be very well built and have quality construction. Also note that these headphones are huge, and seem only appropriate for home use.

My ears are in heaven!

Unlike many other reviews. I didnt have an issue with them and I have mine for 3 years. The only issue that I have with them is the ear cushions start to unravel but a replace part is sold for 19.00. I guess after all these years I can replace the piece. The sound quality is awesome!

Nice head phones, BUT I found them very tight on the head, and I mean tight and the cord on these are a coiled cord. Its almost to close to the head phones. Maybe Im being picky because the last pair of Sennheiser were so good. I hope they loosen up but Im not sure about this coil. Over all they sound good.

I have only used the Sennheiser HD280pro Closed Monitoring Headphones for a few days, but I would recommend them to anyone!

Excellent audio quality and sturdy design. I have bought 3 of them for various reasons and all have been good.

Check the 2 pictures of the headband. On the side headband that hasnt broken yet, you can see that theres a notch molded into the underside of the frame, and the top of the frame has what they intended as a lump of thicker, reinforcement plastic. Now, on the broken side (pic 2) you can see what happens: when you wear the headphones, the band flexes out, which concentrates stress on the headband at the molded-in notches. After moderate use, the headband fractures, starting from the notches, eventually splitting the thinner section along the edge of the thicker reinforcing lump. It fractures the same way a Kit Kat bar fractures at the thin sections. An ugly example of engineered-in premature obsolescence.

My Grado 60 is more than 17 years old. The Grado 60 has clearer high, more natural mid, deeper low and richer sound stage than this new Sennheisher 280 Pro I received today. The 280 does have better isolation due to enclosed design. That isolation also comes with a price, it get hot very fast while I can listen to the Grado 60 for over an hour without notice any heat or fatigue on my ears. I had my wife and son listen to both on various songs, with the volume lower on the Grado since that headphone is more sensitive than the 280, we have no doubt the Grado 60 is much better sounding than the 280 after 3 minutes.

These headphones are AMAZING. I dont think you can find a better set of studio headphones for this price, theyre even better than products a few price brackets up. When you put them on you get fully immersed. Theyre tuned on the flat side so you can find tune your bass and treble on your tracks just perfect. 5 stars for sure. Would recommend them to anyone. Highly regarded. You cant go wrong with these. Build quality is superb and sound is beyond amazing.

I now use these things for everything! Very crisp quality and noise cancelling is par. Not bad. and not too heavy. It comes with a screw on aux adapter. It allows it to be used in 3.5 mm jacks and 1/4 in jacks.
