Sennheiser - HD280 Professional Headphone - Black

I rarely do reviews but I had to in this case. These headphones have been produced for years. There's a reason for that. These headphones get consistently good reviews. There's a reason for that, too. I do voiceover work, audiobooks mostly and the occasional radio spot. These headphones aren't colored (unlike Beats which are very bass heavy) so what you hear is an excellent representation of what's being recorded. These are also great for listening to music. As I said, they don't lean one way or the other, they're accurate representations of what the sound engineers wanted you to hear.

Great pair of headphones. So far I've used them for my DJ business, as well as some audio editing, and they've performed admirably well. Super durable as well. I'd definitely recommend. Some people might find the fit kind of weird (It's a little tight), but they've never fallen off my head.

Had to replace my Pioneer SE-205's which I received as a gift around June 1974 (still sound good but have a short in the wiring near the headpiece). These are comfortable to wear for 4-5 hours a night with no problem. They have a nice neutral sound without artificial bass added which would give me a headache. I have tone controls on my receiver to add that stuff if I want it. I cannot predict the durability, but they look sturdy enough to last for years. So far, so good. I would recommend this item for someone who doesn't have $300 or more to spend. Long cord is appreciated (and replaceable).

I bought these as a birthday gift to myself along with the complete Star Wars sound track and I can honestly say a shiver went up my spine when I first listened to Duel of Fates (if you do end up buying these headphones, listen to that song and you'll see what I mean). I use these to listen to music at home without waking or disturbing my room mates who have all remarked how astoundingly clear and crisp the sound is.

As a film maker and cinematographer, Ipurchased this set of headphones for monitoring audio during recording dialog during production as well as editing in post production. These headphones provide awesome quality and clarity when compared to similar headphones in the same price range. I do not believe these would be a good fit for users who are looking to listen to music as their primary use of the headphones, as the bass response isn't comparable to headphones designed for music, DJ's, etc. However, if you are looking for a pair of headphones for monitoring and checking consistency of audio, these are a great fit. They come with minium adjustability with two basic adjustments of lengthening and shortening the headband and a single axis pivot on the ear cup. Storage is what you'd expect for a large set of headphones. The ear cups fold up and in to the headband's arch. The cord is a stretchable coiled loop with a single connection to the left ear cup. Overall, these headphones are great for the price if it fits your needs and intended use.

Great full spectrum sound reproduction. Crisp highs and powerful lows. I was genuinely surprised at how full the sound is.

The quality of these headphones are hard to beat; the best for recording and decent for audio editing. Comfortable and adjustable, these are a must for any home studio.

Excellent sound, comfortable, I like the fact that the 1/4" adapter screws on, I also like the coiled cord. I've not had these headphones long enough to know how they are going to hold up long term, but as long as your somewhat careful they seem like they'll provide excellent sound and comfort for a long time. They are an excellent value for the cost.
