I've used a pair of the originals for drum tracking, and personal listening pleasure for close to 15 ish years. I've had them so long that I have no idea. I've heard plenty higher cost options over the years, and I've yet to be impressed enough to replace them, and they are beaten down like a junkyard dog, but still sound and function perfectly. I bought a new pair as a gift for my niece, who us also a drummer, and she loves them. She gave up on in ears and uses the hd's for all of her live gigs now. They're like a hammer and screwdriver to a carpenter. No bs, they just work.

So....I guess when I bought these last month("new" ones...didn't realize there was a difference...)I absolutely fell in love with them. I never used the "old" ones, so I didn't have the benefit of comparison as you did Zeos. To be honest, I'm glad I didn't because I probably wouldn't have bought the "new" ones if I did. Few if any non electronically noise cancelling headphones can tune out The Bronx as well as these can. The signature is really, really good. I love 'em.

I found the 280 pros was way less harsh then everything else except for the 300s which sounded Bassy and too dark.I saw this review before all of this and I wanted to try the 280s thinking maybe they would be too dark but they were just enough. I’ve never owned any Sennheiser before I’m thinking the 280 pro would probably be my first. It seems to be very balanced headphone to my ears.

@MikeTheGreatCC12 4 года назад

@@glbrdko I've been using them for nearly 2 months now and so far I'm really enjoying them. These were my first ever studio headphones so I don't know how well they compare with other headphones. I will be honest, when I first started using them I was a bit dissatisfied for a few reasons. First, the sound quality is not the best. Second, the low frequencies sound a bit low. Third, the headphones weighed a bit more heavy than I thought they would. Those were the only issues I had during the first week of use. After the first week, I got used to them and those first impression issues that I had at first are no longer there. You get used to the sound quality, and raising the volume a bit helped me better hear the low frequencies Even though they seemed a bit heavy, they are super comfortable. So far, I have had no issues with comfortability. Once you get used to them you will love them. Also, I remembered that these are STUDIO headphones so that means your getting the raw sound of what your hearing. There's no boosting or enhancing frequencies like there is on regular consumer headphones. This is good because it makes you create a more balanced and even mix. For $80 dollars these headphones are not bad and I feel like they are gonna last me a long time. I hope that helped you with your decision to but these headphones. I'm sorry for the long comment, lol. If you have any other questions, I'd be glad to answer them!

That's exactly what I have right now. I got the headphones on Christmas and this week i got the Zen DAC. They are now like the best f@#k buddies. The Zen DAC is limited at imputs but is perfect for a PC audio replacement. Probably that's why it has only usb in. But the best thing is that was specifically made for balanced headphones. And the MSR7b was built as a balanced headphones mainly even though it also has a 3.5 single ended cable. The 4.4 balanced will become more popular this year.

@Zonas is Okee I don't have the unbalanced ones, but people say that the balanced ones are more towards mid/high and may sound for many less 'bassy' but have a bit more separation/dynamics , but the MSR7b has quite enough bass if the source is good, and when I mean a good source I mean a good DAC that has a very good control over the bass and the Ifi Zen DAC does it very good.

That's awesome. I just ordered these. Just getting started here in producing my own music and since I was new I bought some of the wrong stuff. A sales man at guitar center pushed both AKG headphones and a AKG microphone. Affordable yes but the headset is just completely unusable for mixing. The problem with them is that they make everything sound great. It's an extreme far cry from what the mix is actually going to sound like in a car or anywhere else that people are going to listen. I'm getting these delivered in a day to me and hopefully all my frequency issues are finally resolved because I am in a headphones only living situation so it's the only way I can mix.

@jwest88 4 года назад

I was almost decided on the K371 or 361s but the QC issues kind of threw me off those; now hearing these are supposed to block out a bunch of noise I think I would prefer these. The comfort of the K361s sounds enticing but the main reason I want some closed back headphones is to block out the noise when it gets loud at home. Think I will get these instead. Don't work in a noisy office but I have an irrational level of irritation when it comes to outside noises far too often. Just ordered these; hoping they do the trick. Hmm, now I'm thinking of getting a tube amp, don't want to spend too much though. Nobsound NS-08E is only 50 bucks; I hear the stock tubes aren't great, but those could be replaced.

I never understood the rant on L/R earcup markings on Sennheiser's. They're marked with "Sennheiser" along the top of the headband. If you can read it, you're holding them correctly. It it's upside down, you're holding them incorrectly. End of story & end of the need to locate L?R markings.....

Was late to the party. Been binge watching since before Christmas.Have spent a few bucks already on some IEM's and now think i might wasnt to pick a pair of these up for mixing and bass practice. was using a pair of AKG K92's but needed some more "bass" so i sold them and picked up a used pair of Sony MDR XD200's for $10 and they are fine but might change it up. Thanks for these informative and entertaining reviews.

I've had mine since 2004 and still use it daily. Tried 'upgrading' a few times to other headphones and using those for a few months, but then I compare them to the HD280 again I switch back to the HD280s.

I wonder how these compare to the modded m40x you showed on your review of them.

@goodboy65 4 года назад

After a lot of years I'm going to buy again these headphones because of your review, like you too I used it for many years (now it's in the closet all covered in electrician black tape cause the plastic headband falls in pieces) then I bought HD380 PRO and November 2019 I bought HD300 PRO I've found a great offer at 1/2 price but someone's stolen it. I used HD300PRO for a month and now without the discount, so at full price, I'm not convinced to buy it again. The first reason it's the short straight cable and even the sound it's good but...I don't know... So I've seen your review and tomorrow I'm going to buy the new HD280 PRO. I'll use it for mixing and with my Line6 Helix Floor. I've tought to buy KRK KNS 8600 or Shure SRH 840.

@JonathanDano 4 года назад

I was actually going to get a pair of these for my voiceover work. I wanted a nice closed and in your face headphone to really shove the flaws in my face so I know what really needs to be fixed. Now that you're saying they sound open I'm a bit wary about getting them. Are they still a good choice for mixing? Or if I really wanna punish myself to hear EVERYTHING right in my ear holes should I just get the m50x for work cause I already have other headphones for pleasure and gaming?

@deltronzer0 4 года назад

the 280 pros were also my first pair of expensive headphones and they were recommended on DJ forums since the cups rotate and can block out lots of noise. a few headphones later i also felt betrayed and started to tell everyone to buy sony 7506's instead. now i'm interested in this new pair, but maybe it's just nostalgia talking.

Listened to the review, looked for the price on Amazon, told to myself : "You got a fantastic pair of Philips SHP9500 a few days ago, you don't need those Sennies (at least not now)". Finally ended up ordering an Antlion Gaming mouse mat just because I saw it in the video hahaha

@rafaelpereira9859 4 года назад

watching the video made me positive to buy these headphones. quick question, what do you mean about "balance" the headphones and why should people do it?

@Uneedhelp91 4 года назад

I love my 280s, I have three pairs. The first pair I paid full price, the two other pairs I got used on eBay as a lot for ~$50. Two of the three pairs are the newer version that are fine, the third pair is the older version and is my favorite, they have just a bit more sparkle in the highs then my others. My feeling is that if they are fine for use in a studio as monitoring headphones, they are more than fine for RU-vid videos and recorded music. One thing about wearing them is that you need to be aware of your surroundings as people can be shouting your name and with music going you will never hear them....that includes smoke detectors and fire alarms.

@vm6038 4 года назад

I had the new and old version of the HD280 at the same time and compared them directly. They sounded pretty much identical to me. I am sure the drivers and tuning are exactly the same and the only differences are the look and the pads. However, that was about 3-4 years ago and perhaps the newest revision of the HD280 Pro is indeed different sounding. I doubt it though.

@KamielSadien 4 года назад

The tube capability makes this iteration very interesting indeed. They're also stupid cheap (the current edition seems cheaper than the ones without the nuggets for some reason), even here in South Africa. Too bad about the cable though. Slightly off point, but are you planning on reviewing the DT770 Black Mage mod anytime soon?

@jonathanfelso 3 года назад

Thanks for the vid. Where do you get your short 1/4" TRS extensions? The ones connevted to your amp? Those seem like a great idea for preventing wear and tear on the ports
