“For an avid listener who wants a good listening experience... Would you recommend these or another headphone? I like to utilize portability, such as folding away for storage (which this set has), replaceable cables (again, something this has), and easy to carry around. I have heard that this headset creates a more real sound, but my question is will it have enough depth in the sounds that it will fulfill my expectations? Some have directed me to the 428's or the 448's, even the 518's, but I am really unsure as to which to get. Also, is the impedence something to be worried about? This set has 64 ohms, which I worry might be a little bit too much for my iPod to handle. Will it drastically reduce battery life, or is it nothing to really worry about?”

64 ohms is definitely something to be concerned with, get a headphone amp to go with it, there are some very good cheap ones on the market. For portability consider some PX 100 II's they fold up to sound sunglass size and have their own case and sound superb also have a 32 ohm impedance. They may feel flimsy but I've had a pair for 12 years (orig. PX100's) and used them 40-50 hrs. a week for work.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello- The HD 280 was designed for studio applications where the most natural, accurate sound is in highest demand. That need has translated to mainstream consumers and audiophiles who seek to hear their music with greater fidelity and accuracy. The HD 280, for those reasons, is a best-seller. The 64 ohm impedance is fairly low, I would not expect any suffering of performance from an iPod.
