Sennheiser Professional HD 280 PRO Over-Ear Monitoring Headphones

I have produced and recorded music for some time and had been searching for those headphones that could be described as: Perfect sounding headphones and these Sennheiser HD 280 pro are the closest thing (under 100 bucks) to that.

These headphones were great for a while. I had received them as a Christmas gift in 2018, but it seems now that the sound is only playing from one ear. I had made sure to keep them away from anything that could pull on the cord or damage the headset itself, but when I woke up they had stopped working properly. I will try to reach out to their customer service for having this headset fail in less than a year, but until this gets resolved I can only give it 3 stars. 5 stars for sound quality and a 2 for life time. Updates coming

I love my new headphones! They sound excellent. Light weight and adjustable. They are a bit tight at first but then you get used to it. You can wear them for hours.

These headphones are well built with a very neutral sound. They were designed for the studio

Product is supposed to work with iPhone, it doesn’t I tried on different devices the Jack supplied with the product won’t stay in the Phone

If you are an actual musician or sound engineer you need some affordable headphones with sonic accuracy and a relatively flat EQ response. Nothing at this price point competes with the HD 280 Pros. I use them in my project studio, I use them on stage, I take them to every session (except for the big studios which give me Beyerdynamics, very good but also very pricey $$$). I dont like consumer grade audio, and I dont need headphones that look like they came with Barbies dreamhouse, I stick with these and I have heard them all.

One of the best headphone I have ever had. Very comfortable for the ears.

This set of headphones has great sound quality, however, its only marginally better on paper than its Sony counterpart. Because it has problems with a very brittle headband, and will very quickly crack and break away entirely into sharp pieces of hard plastic, I cannot recommend these headphones except for review for product safety. Every time I have to send away my pair to get repaired I have to pay for shipping to Sennheiser, and I am without the headphones for weeks as a result. Save yourself a headache and possibly further physical injury and consider getting the Sony headphones...

One of the reasons that I bought these was for listening to football play-by-play over AM radio inside CenturyLink Field. It is a mindbogglingly loud environment (it holds the world record for loudest stadium) and noise isolation was a prime concern. I tried several kinds of earbuds thinking they would be the best option for noise isolation yet was struggling to hear even with my radio volume on max. With these headphones I can hear perfectly with plenty of volume to spare.

Work great, for the price, very loud. i have to put my pc volume to 25%
