Product Description:
The Sennheiser HD 280 headphones are designed for the professional who requires outstanding communication in their daily audio work. Regardless of the very noisy conditions you might be in, the HD 280 headphones help you get the job done by offering you excellent insulation from ambient noise with a linear, precise reproduction of the audio material. Comfort is also taken into consideration with the HD 280's. Soft, circumaural ear pads guarantee comfort over long periods of use. You can even replace all wearing parts if needed - single-sided coiled cable, ear pads & headband padding. Amazon.com Product Description:
The HD-280 Pro is a closed-back, circumaural headphone designed for professional-quality monitoring. Its exceptional attenuation of environmental noise (up to 32 dB) makes it particularly useful for use in high-noise environments, in outside broadcasts, and for DJs. Featuring rugged design and optimum sensitivity, the HD-280 Pro will deliver detailed and natural reproduction of music and speech with a wide frequency response of 8 to 25,000 Hz (-10 dB). Owing to its collapsible ear-pieces, the HD-280 Pro is highly compact when it comes to transportation. And all parts that are subject to wear and tear--such as earpads, headband padding, and the audio cord--are easily replaceable, ensuring long life. The headphone's 9-foot cord is detachable, so if it wears out you have only to replace the cord, not the headphone itself. The cord is made of oxygen-free copper for pure, long-lasting audio transmission. | | | | |
Average Rating : 
Rating :  - Grado 60 is much better than this headphones
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.
The Grado 60 cost me 69.00 years ago and it is still selling at that price, cheaper than the 280 on special sale. If you want to buy this unit, you owe yourself a listen to the Grado 60 first.
