Digital camera reviews of Sennheiser HD-280 Professional Headphones
Digital camera Review: Has its plusses and minuses
Summary: 4 Stars
Minuses:
-If you wear glasses: especially with thick frames, every time you adjust/move your glasses, it creates friction with the padding and a rubbing noise that is very apparent and mildly annoying. its not that its uncomfortable, its just that it makes noise if there is any movement between your glasses and the phones.
-if you plan on moving around: it will make noise [via headphone cable]. any rubbing anywhere on the cable is audible in the phones. so if you plan on moving around a lot while listening to these [i longboard] then i would say no dice. these are meant to be listened with while sitting down.
-does not play friendly with techno: any hard/sudden bass hits can be distorted pretty easily. if you are using an equalizer, and you want more bass, dim the trebles and turn up the master volume. and smooth/rolling bass sounds wonderful though.
-takes a while to break in: give them a dozen or so hours before the cans are broken in.
Plusses
-accurate sound reproduction: sounds peachy keen. put on some jack johnson for example and it sounds like he's singing into your ears and his guitar is in your face.
-good soundspace: when listening to multi-instrumental music, its easy pick out individual instruments as though they are in different areas around you.
-cancel noise very well: i have to take my headphones off to have any conversation. thats the way it should be.
It may not seem like it, but the plusses outweigh the minuses. however i would HIGHLY RECOMMEND just getting a px100. i've had better experiences with those.
Summary of Sennheiser HD-280 Professional Headphones
The HD280 Professional is Sennheiser's most significant closed, circumaural headphone to be introduced in years. Designed to exceed the demands of the professional environment, the HD280Pro boasts extremely robust construction combined with extensive features that meet the requirements of today's most demanding applications. The unique collapsible design combined with swiveling ear cups, offers maximum flexibility in any application.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.
