Price Comfort Quality
These are probably your best value for money in headphones unless you have a time machine. Frequency response beyond any others in this price range, and no coloration or distortion even in the limits of volume and dynamics. Sennheiser have been my choice since the early 70’s.

Very comfortable to wear for long periods. Nice clean sound, great for editing video. Also nice for listening to podcasts. Music listening is ok, but that's not what these were made for.

Sono delle ottime cuffie, ma non sono MK2. Non scritto da nessuna parte sulla scatola o sulle cuffie. Non differscono in alcun modo dalle HD 280 PRO.
Best studio monitoring headphone at Rs.6000/-

Quera unos cascos buenos ya que me esta dando por descargar la musica en FLAC y en vez de gastarme 50 euros(que aun asi seran buenos cascos) quera ir un poco mas alla. Y entre mirar paginas y tal al final me decante por estos y no me he equivocado. Yo al principio queria unos cascos que tuvieran graves(La tipica cosa cuando no tienes ni idea de cascos) Y me daba miedo comprar unos de respuesta plana porque pensaba que se iban a oir mal o que el sonido no tendria gracia(por decirlo asi) Entonces estos al ver que tenian de frecuencia 8-25000khz dije bueno se supone que pueden reproducir frecuencias graves (Era lo que me interesaba en este momento) , tambien he de decir que he comprado un amplificador porque requiere 64 ohmios de potencia, pero con uno portatil con bateria va sobrado. Y cuando llegaron la verdad es que flipe, sirven para absolutamente todo, peliculas , todo tipo de musica, videojuegos. la verdad muy contento, incluso para la musica electronica funcionan muy bien. Logicamente habra cascos como los beats o algunos sony con extrabass, se disfrutara muchisimo mas desde luego, pero claro para otro tipo de musica ya no se. Despues de probar ahora algunos cascos in ear, lo que me gusta de estos sin duda, lo que mas destacaria es las voces de los cantantes, mas claras imposibles, se oye perfectamente las voces sin distorsion ni nada, absolutamente claras. Y aun asi reproduce bien las frecuencias graves y se oyen bien todos los instrumentos . Yo antes de comprarlos queria que se oyera el pum pum en las canciones, pero lo que mas aprecio sin duda ahora es que las voces se oigan claras y sin ningun tipo de distorsion, como por ejemplo algunos bluetooth que tengo o algunos in ear que se oyen bien pero las voces se oyen un poco mas distorsionadas y no los disfruto del todo pero estos si.
Comodidad: En mi opinion super comodos, aislan bien, y no calientan las orejas y no duelen luego
Diseo: Esto puede ser lo peor en mi opinion, ya que al verlos parece que sean cascos de 30 euros, y no son los mas bonitos que hay comparados por ejemplo con unos sony que son super bonitos y parecen mas caros que estos. No quiero decir con esto que sean de mala calidad los materiales, pero al verlos desde fuera no son tan bonitos. Algo que si no me gusta nada es que se abren mucho con esto me refiero a que , no se como explicarlo, como que en vez de quedarse en circulo se hacen rectangulo, no se si me explico, esto al ponerselos me refiero, y quedan muy grandes puestos en la cabeza, es decir se alejan de la cabeza la parte que esta entre el auricular y la diadema, no esta tan pegada por lo tanto parece que son cascos gigantes.
Algunas cosas mas: El cable: viene con adaptador para jack grande eso bien, lo que no me va mucho como dicen algunos es el peso del cable, pesa bastante.
Y nada mas que decir, aclaro que no se de audio ni nada, simplemente entiendo un poco de caracteristicas y poco mas. Lo unico que puedo decir con seguridad es que son muy buenos cascos y la musica se disfruta muchisimo

This headphone is awesome. The lows & mids are super clear and high frequency is perfectly balanced. Noice cancellation is also good. I saw reviews on YouTube says it's tight on your head, but I didn't feel that. If you like to buy headphones around this one i recommend you this.

Sennheiser quality wins again.
Decent isolation , for studio type , applications ,comfortable for extended wear, reliable sennheiser sound ,cable design needs some work however .
All in all a very good buy .. quality bang for the buck.
I bought these headphones on the basis of numerous recommendations from recognised youtube reviewers. I very nearly sent these back because of ‘that clamp’. However, I persevered for a few hours, and after just a few the whole thing felt way more comfortable. The quality of the sound is excellent, clear (slightly muted treble) but that maybe because of the closed nature of the design. The noise isolation is very good.
Excellent value for money and I’m keeping these beauties.
My only complaint is irritating coiled cable though which you cant change

I got this for 6.6k but after a week its price reduced to 5k. Headphones has good quality and comfort. Noise isolation is also good, compared to other headphones with lesser price, but not great. Bit expensive.

La calidad de sonido es impresionante
En realidad me gusta todo. Son unos auriculares espectaculares que te hacen sentir la msica como jams la hayas escuchado. Son caros,es cierto, pero lo bueno sale siempre barato. Los aconsejo plenamente
Sound quality great for the money
Excellent headphones. You can completely submerse yourself in your music with them.
Sound quality is brilliant for the money.
Well worth the money
Bought for a little mini home studio. What great sound 🙂
Just Amazing. Loved Them😍😍
I am a Music Producer and know well about all the frequencies.
These headphones are Just Amazing. The kind of noise isolation they provide is superb. The second thing is comfort.
They are very comfortable. I can seriously sleep while wearing them. They are that comfortable.
They are very flat and seriously the details of frequencies you can hear in these headphones are extraordinary.
I was having Sennheiser HD 202 before for my production. But these headphones have just no comparison.
To all the music producers, mixing-mastering engineers, and true music listeners. Buy these guys
You will surely love them.
Thank You so much, Sennheiser for making such an impressive product.

Love the product. Sound quality is amazing for the price. The biggest thing with headphones is durability. I hope I get long use out of them but would buy again. Sennheiser makes great products.

Holy S***!
Forgive my language, but these are the best headphones I’ve ever tried. I’ve only been using them for an hour since they arrived and I just had to share my experience. Normally, I don’t buy gear like this, but I wanted the best for my home recording studio. (I have Universal Audio Apollo Twin interface.) These headphones are soooo clear – I hear everything, good and bad on my mixes. And commercial recordings are just a joy to listen to. And the padding is so soft and gentle, it’s like being wrapped in an audio blanket.
My interface drives them just fine — I only turn the dial up to and they’re plenty loud. Considering the years of joy these puppies will bring me, the price is a bargain.
Los compr para tocar la batera electrnica pero el sonido es tan bueno que se van a convertir en buena herramienta de trabajo para producir/componer msica. Tengo otros audfonos muchos ms caros (Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, etc) y estos HD 280 Pro estn a la altura en cuanto a calidad de sonido.
El aislamiento es bueno, aunque no es tan bueno como usando IEMs (in ear monitors).
A nivel de sonido, la reproduccin de medios y agudos es precisa. Los graves son definidos y profundos, pero para escuchar gneros con ms graves (electrnica, hip hop, etc) s es necesario usar una EQ para aadir unos dbs a las frecuencias por debajo de 200Hz. Como es esperado en audfonos cerrados, tienen gran detalle. Lo que no esperaba es el buen espacio acstico. Realmente suenan muy bien.
En mi opinin son muy cmodos, pero la verdad no suelo tener problemas con los audfonos. Personas ms sensibles creo que podran considerarlos muy apretados.
Son perfectos para juzgar una mezcla o una grabacin, lo cual va hacer que escuchar material mal mezclado/masterizado sea desagradable. La verdad no los recomendara para una persona que busca audfonos para escuchar msica de forma casual.
Mi nica pega es que no se sienten tan slidos como los Beyerdynamic pero realmente es lo esperado en este rango de precio.
Great sound quality, but a little uncomfortable for wearing for long stretches.

I wanted something to listen to my turntable through a receiver and can't use speakers due to living in an apt. Tried Beats and Byerdynamic headphones and glad i bought these Sennheiser's. These are the best headphones for my taste for the money.

Parfait pour jouer du drum
Mon conjoint est trs satisfait ! Il joue du drum et trouve que les couteurs coupent bien le son extrieur ce qui lui permet de bien entendre la musique dans les couteurs pendant qu’il joue!
These headphones are of good quality and very nice sound, but not for studio recording application. I found that out after I bought them. What I am referring to is these headphones are design for pleasure use, they added a lot of base and reduce the mid-range to a point that you can not make adjustment through your equalizer to compensate for the lost. So good for pleasure but not for studio use. Cheers.

Keeps household noise out and great sound for what your listening to. Comfortable around ear headphones. They are a little tight when on but still Comfortable. Looks like a durable wire that connects to computer. Long spiral cord. I would buy again.

I have been using these for years during various live events, and have found them equally as capable of providing some incredible audio while editing audio at home. Not for use with a phone, but worth every penny and a steal at their price!

I was a bit thrown off by the reviews, but bought them anyway. I use them for music and connect to my Amp playing bass guitar. 10/10 sound and comfort!! Hopefully they last.

Quality headphones
Ok here I will be taking up the doubts I had while purchasing these.
So yes you absolutely can run these without and amp.
Me a person moving from on ear to over the ear, this has been decently comfortable and the headphones are light as well.
If you do like bass so much just make a smiley face on your EQ setting and your good to go set +0 db on 1khz and keep increasing 1 as you go left and right.
And most importantly damn these are good.
Edit:- please extend to maximum size for a comfortable experience other wise it feels extremely tight.
After wearing cheep 15 headphones my whole life, I was completely and utterly stund that headphone audio could sound so good, the sound canceling is top notch, and the bass is so low it makes your insides shake. They are super comfy and soft .Just note that they aren’t ideal for public use dew to them being massive, so studio in mind would be bes

Ottime cuffie isolanti, sia per tracking e per Hi-Fi
Queste HD 280 Pro sono state una bellissima sorpresa.
Mi servivano un paio di cuffie abbastanza chiuse da poter registrare senza bleed troppo ambientale, ma anche per ascoltare semplicemente musica (e fare un po’ di webcalls). Queste 280 sono state una scelta azzeccata.
La qualit audio, dopo un pochino di rodaggio, si bilancia molto bene, non ci sono enfasi innaturali sui bassi. La definizione molto buona e l’isolamento acustico ottimo.
Leggerete che le cuffie sono un pochino scomode da tenere tutto il giorno: non posso dire che siano piume, ma non sono fastidiose. La clamping force degli auricolari giusta, non eccessiva. Io trovo ottima l’imbottitura sia degli auricolari che dell’arco, che rimane solidamente ancorato anche se si muove la testa.
Il punto un pochino deludente il cavo, non rimuovibile ed avvolto. Alcuni hanno lamentato che il cavo sia pesante, e non posso dare loro torto. E’ un po’ ingombrante. Considerate per che il modello superiore, le HD 300 Pro, che hanno il cavo rimuovibile, costano 80 in pi… Il paragone sulla qualit audio fra questi due modelli non posso farlo, purtroppo… Per se siete contenti della qualit audio della 280, non ponderate di prendere la 300 solo per il cavo rimuovibile…
Io sono molto soddisfatto, ascoltare musica con queste cuffie un piacere, come lavorare e suonare. Si collocano egregiamente nella facia di prezzo dei 100 e credo pochi avrebbero da ridire sulla qualit del suono. Da provare, sicuramente.
I have been using the Sony MDR-7506 for a couple of years, and as I needed a second pair, I thought to try these, given that I LOVED the sennheiser 202, which I have used for 20 years. I went to the Sony because the 202, as much as I loved them, they did not last – but for the price, and sound, I did not care, I just couldn’t find them anymore.
Now, the Sony were another level, perfect sound for me (Flat sound is what ALL music lovers/creators should be the first priority!). The only thing I do not like about them is the freaking cord, which I had to attach a clip, so I can clip it to my shirt – COME ON, Sony, these are “Pro”, freaking make a detachable cord!
Now, the Seinhere cord is marginally better (shorter but stiffer), and the sound is very close to the Sony…but…
1. For using them on my computer, the Sony are more comfortable, because the Sennheiser are just too tight – Yes, I have a large head, but my wife also things they are too tight.
2. I would say, under close comparison, the Sony are a little more “bright”, in a pleasing way. Or, that the Sennheiser are a little more “dead”, in a not-as-pleasing way. Make what you want out of it.
As I have not used them as such, I wouldn’t compare them out in the field, but overall, I would say that, next time I buy another pair, it would be….the Sony. Sorry, I am REALLY sorry Sennheiser, I have never liked Sony, either for their prices, company philosophy, product reliability, but…they got it right when it came to the MDR’s! And you juuuuust missed it with the HD280PRO
Great pair of headphones. I paid 80cad, from warehouse deal, amazing quality for that price. I own hd 660s which obviously sounds better but considering the price these are one of the best affordable headsets I've come across

I am using this headphone for my Korg keyboard and the sound quality is really good. The wire is durable and the headset is very comfortable. But it does not cancel noise actively, it is not a big deal for me though.

Best professional Headphones
One of the best investments. I was a bit in dilemma, whether to buy this or not. But thank god chose to buy. Using since past 10 days, improved my recordings. Compatible with blue yeti mic. Really happy with the performance.
Pros
1. Noise cancellation.
2. Voice clarity.
3. Long coiled wire.
4. Gold plated pins. 3.5 mm and 6.3 mm.
5. Soft ear covers.
6. Adjustable headset.
7. Foldable ear piece.
Cons
1. A bit tight pressure on ears.
2. No mic.
Clear Sound, Solid build, Great cable, Professional feel
Picked these up to replace my M40x monitors, these are very competitive.
Pros:
1. Solid Plastic Build, doesn’t feel cheap
2. Comfortable for long hours of wearing due to nice padding on the top of headphone and ear-pads are acceptable
3. Very great sound for audio monitoring, so clear you will easily be able to identify hissing/buzzing and other audio issues that might arise during recording.
4. Great coiled cable that won’t tangle
5. Good price for what you get, these feel like they will last years.
Cons –
1. Don’t buy these if you love bass, these aren’t heavy on bass.
2. They snug to your head a bit strong, if you like very soft cushy headphones, these you may not like.
3. No case in the box, just the headphones.
Overall – Good value for $100 if you want professional monitoring. These headphones are focused more on sound quality than flashy design, extra features. They are all business just take them out the box and plug them into your mixer, audio interface, or any recorder/computer and monitor the audio professionally. This is why I bought them and they do this job perfectly and that is why I gave them 5 stars.
Just recently purchased these to replace my old Audio-Technica M40x so much of this review is a direct comparison. One aspect of these that initially drew me in was it's advertised 32db of passive noise cancellation. Overall I think I prefer the overall soundstage of the HD280Pro over my old M40x. Both are tuned "neutral" by design as they are both reference monitors. I feel as though the HD280Pro has somewhat more moderate and less flat bass response giving the overall sound a bit more depth without highs mids and lows getting "compressed" on top of eachother . What I'm most torn over is the long term reliability. While the headphones themselves feel significantly more durable, the lack of a removable cable really puts longevity into question, especially with the sheer weight of the coiled cable it comes with. And for that alone I am reluctant to give it that extra star. It's "almost perfect" given the price.

Noise Cancellation is awesome, it helps me to listen to each and every frequency even when there is outer noise. Sound quality the best in this price range. I wear probably 5 to 7 hours a day, and it doesn't hurt me ears.

I was looking for a decent quality headphone to use while recording music on Garageband. These are perfect and didn't break the bank. I have little experience with headphones like this so cannot comment on the finer points of noise cancellation or bass quality.

I bought these studio headphones to use with my electric piano when I am practicing. The frequency response is great with no discernable drop-off at lower frequencies. My entire household appreciates how I can now practice for hours while still providing peace and quiet.

CALIDAD Y PRECIO AJUSTADO
Es un buen auricular por un precio ajustado,
Sin llegar a ser auriculares de audifilo, su nivel sonoro en bajos, y la claridad de diferenciacin de las distintas frecuencias lo hacen ideal para un buen aficionado a la msica.
Es especialmente agradable su nivel de exclusin de ruido, permite escuchar la msica en entornos con ruido medio, y quizs lo ms importante, escuchar sin molestar ya que el sonido que emite fuera de los audfonos es inapreciable.
Una compra maestra para las exigencias requeridas.

Very nice sounding headphones without much colouration, nice lower end response.

I own 4 pairs of these and they're used in my private recording studio. Sound quality is excellent with very little little leakage during recording vocals all while remaining quite comfortable during extended wear periods. One of the better cost/quality items for headphones that are out there.

Sound quality and noise cancellation is very good.Only concern is the fitting and comfort.Not fit for long hour usage.Felt pain on ears.

Nice neutral sound; Very good noise isolatio
Likes
– Neutral sound without excessive bass
– Good build quality; Seems built to last a long time
– Works without a separate amp when used with my laptop / iPad / iPhone
Dislikes
– Tight fit leads to slight discomfort over long listening sessions – Haven’t been able to use this for more than a couple of hours without a break
– Some form of storage protection (Cover / Box) would have been nice to have at this price poi
Solo los use en mi laptop para escuchar musica,lo que me gust fue la inmersin del sonido, sobre todo en el bajeo, es bastante bueno, y ms si lo tienes correctamente ecualizados, el volmen no es tan alto, pero tampoco tan bajo, en cuanto a comodidad, no son tan pesados como algunos lo mencionan, yo los usaba, aprox. 2 a 3 hrs continuas sin ningn problema, en diseo no son elegantes la verdad, pero el material se siente ligero pero a la vez de buena calidad,sobre todo la textura y el grosor del cable en espiral, es bastante largo por cierto, y no se puede desprender de los audfonos.
Nothing to dislike. It is effective and cancels quite a bit of noise. It does not completely block or cancel noise. Wearing it continuously for more than 1 hour may cause discomfort but that is do with other headphones as well.

Can’t wear more than 2 hours without it hurting. My old Bose ere much softer, but leaked more noise.

Muy buen sonido y muy cómodos
Excelente sonido, podra mejorar aun ms los bajos pero de entrada suena excelente.
For the average person, this price tag for a set of plastic headphones may seem crazy. For anyone who has owned any Sennheiser product in the past, or even this particular set of headphones, you’ll know that for the quality of this set, the price really is amazing. To get any better you’d be spending anywhere above 400, and headphones in the below 50 range will pale miserably in comparison. Build quality is excellent, my last pair lasted 7 years before they finally succumbed to damage (which was completely my fault). Audio quality is fantastic, though it does lack the brain shaking bass that some people will be looking for in particular. If you’re looking for a new set of headphones to thoroughly enjoy your music collection, for mixing, or even for gaming, these will not disappoint.
One word of warning, the cables that feed into the left ear piece are completely and easily replaceable, as are the pads on the top and ears, but the cable that feeds audio to the right ear is not. This will be the most common point of failure, but it takes considerable effort to damage it. Both earpieces have a large degree of rotation, and extend out to suit your head size. If you have this length set at the maximum and move that right earpiece as far as it will go, both left and right, you will run the risk of damaging this wire far more quickly than usual wear and tear. If you have to fold them up tight for travel, remember not to do so when the ears are at their fully extended distance. If you take care of this headset it will last for a very long time, well past the 2 year warranty. They endured 7 years of car rides, house moves, being dropped, tossed and twisted, but be sure to take care for that right earpiece. Keep that in mind and this set will keep you going through an apocalypse.
(This review is for the mk1 version, the mk2 version as I understand it is almost identical besides the difference in foam headpiece. If anything else has changed, so will this review.)

These are a good pair of headphone that can be used while recording as the leak of sound is very minimal. There is very good isolation. However, it starts hurting your head after a few minutes of use, so you cannot use it for leisure hearing. These can be a good choice for voice over artists and singers. It provides a good listening experience. I was previously using the hd 180 and found the 280’s sound to be a little low on the highs. I’m assuming. That is going to be a bit difficult for my ears to adjust but however, I listened to well mixed tracks and they sounded great. So mixing on these would probably give you a good sounding. Got it for 5399 on the great Indian Sale. Comes with a screw on type 6.3 mm adapter.
The sound quality was good but noise blocking was only ok. Not terrible, just ok.

With these headphones on I can blissfully ignore conversations around me. Its not absolute noise cancelling, its about the same as a pair of earmuffs for the gun range. When the music is on, you really cant hear much around you. I love my wife but man, when these babies are on, I just smile and nod...no idea what she is saying or asking. Maybe I should read her body language, what the universal sign for emergency.....no idea. What ev's, these headphones sound great and who wants their tunes interrupted by flailing arms and screams. Not this guy...enjoy some high fidelity in peace w/ the Sennheiser HD280PRO's !

Great quality for the price, noise cancellation is amazing
The noise cancellation on these guys is crazy. At full volume just from my computer, I can fill a room with sound, unless the ear cups are sitting together, then its barely audible. That carries over to when you wear them – you can’t hear others and they can’t hear your music.
Only problem I have is that the cable is a bit of a hassle to manage since it’s so thick, and the fact that it’s coiled makes it easier to accidentally loosen the connection, but its not that big of a deal and it doesn’t happen super often.
Overall, great buy for the price.
Nice flat sound. Decent set of headphones for mixing if you don’t have a lot of money.

Man sollte sich unbedingt darber im Klaren sein, wie der Kopfhrer eingesetzt werden soll. Er punktet eindeutig mit der guten Geruschdmmung in beiden Richtungen. Wenn Musik oder Sprache am Ohr anliegen, hre ich nichts vom Fernsehprogramm und kaum die Stimme meiner Frau, die 75 cm neben mir sitzt. Umgekehrt hrt sie – auch bei lauter Kopfhrer-Musik – berhaupt nichts von dem, wie ich beschallt werde.
Die geschlossene Bauweise lsst ein “schnes” Klangbild allerdings nicht zu. Im Gegensatz zu meinem betagten HD500, der damals schon nicht als Klangwunder galt, klingt beim HD280-pro alles flach, mitunter qukend. Musikgenuss ist etwas anderes.
Wer nicht auf die Schall-Abschirmung angewiesen ist, sollte sich besser unter den Kopfhrern mit offener Bauweise umschauen.

Though the product is terrific in terms of sound and quality but Wearing the Headset for an hour or more gives a feeling of headache and as if the head is getting pressed. Also, cannot wear on my turban.

The clamping force is quite high, it sits tight on your head, but the headphones and pads are comfortable enough for long-term listening. Still, might not be comfortable for people with smaller head sizes. The isolation is excellent. These might feel sweaty in humid areas like Kolkata and Chennai.
These are classics for a reason. These are truly excellent and capable headphones, very detailed. You can use them for mixing, but these aren’t completely flat / neutral, they are slightly warm. You need two things to make this work the way you want.
1. EQ. Use the inbuilt equalizer in your phone to tweak the sound signature in the way you want. If you’re not too fussy, use the free Wavelet app. It EQs the sound automatically and system wide to match the Harman tuning. (If you’re using Wavelet, choose Legacy mode, turn AutoEQ on, select your headphone model)
2. Since these have 64 ohms impedance, buy a cheap DAC amp or amp if you use this with your phone. This is certainly not mandatory, but you will realize its full potential once you provide enough power to these through a DAC amp or an amp. I use a Tempotec Sonata HD pro with my phone. You might not need an amp if you listen to these through your PC / laptop.
Competition – Fierce competition against Audio Technica headphones ATH M20x/M30x. I haven’t heard them, so can’t answer this. AKG K371 would be a good alternative if you are looking for a warm signature.
Have fun listening to this, and welcome to the Audiophile world! 🙂

Can't find another upto 15k range... Believe it or not...
Well, I am using this brand for a pretty long time. Started with CX180 then 300 II then 202-203 and now this one.
I can tell you very well that you can’t find any other in it’s price range, as versatile as these one. It can give you everything, fron mind scorching treable to brain thumping bass, you just have to set your equalizer accordingly. Otherwise it’s damm flat…
There are only two cons(according to me obviously)
1) No detachable cable
2) Sweats in long usage
Rest all are incredible…
If you can spend 6k, and don’t need a Bluetooth, then go for it…
Worth every penny.
I had a pair of Sony Professional Head Phones that failed. A friend of mind had a wireless Sennheiser wireless Headphones that cost $350 an they were amazing. I could not believe that there was a Sennheiser HD280 Pro for under $80. It is so much better than the Sony Model. The ear cups are extremely comfortable, even for long periods of time. I miss the volume control, but I go into windows for that now. Watching movies, Videos, an Gaming is excellent. I know I cannot hear my cellphone ring when I have the Headphones on and don’t hear outside noise either.
It is very comfortable to wear. I love the coil cable. All in all for the price it is an amazing purchase.
Excellent so
Les 2 premiers jours porter le casque sont difficiles. Le casque est un peu inconfortable au dbut. Avec le temps on s’habitue. La qualit sonore de cette pair d’couteur est excellente. utiliser avec Dolby Atmos pour encore plus de plaisir.
Petit hip : Je voulais utiliser ces couteurs avec mon enregistreur sonore “Zoom h1n”, mais malheureusement le son ne sort pas si bien que a. Il ne donne pas un bel aperu de ce que sera le son dans l’ordinateur. Comme quoi il est prfrable d’amplifier le son avec un module.
Only complaints are it doesn't rest nicely on neck and cable is not removable. Otherwise they are excellent for a wide range of uses.

I love these headphones they cancel out noose alot better than the dt770s and in my opinion are more comfortable, i will say tho that the dt770s are better sounding quality but these are a really good pair of headphones for 100, would highly recommend to any one with a 100 dollar budget.

La qualité est au rendez-vous avec un prix raisonnable!
J’ai utilis ce produit pour entendre avec le plus de prcision possible, chacun des instruments de musique utilis dans une chanson… et ce casque d’coute a fait le travail!
Great quality and great sound
Great sounds with plenty of good reviews. This is for studio sound.
Great headphones
As everyone has already mentioned, the sound quality is superb, noise cancellation is excellent and comfort for ears is out of the world. I am 4/5 satisfied, but 1/5 not. Here are a few things I didn’t like.
Aux cable is a bit messy. If you completely insert it, you won’t hear anything. You have to balance it such that it is 95% inserted. Also, headphones are damn heavy (0.6 kg)!
On a side note, who else enjoyed playing with the 2m long telephone wire like coil ??
Per Forbes magazine review
Check out the Forbes review, it describes these headphones perfectly.
Pretty great sounding headphones. Good noise cancelation. Very flat neutral sound, good for mixing & mastering! Great value, especially if you get them on sale!

Long overdue time to replace an old set of Koss Pro's, and always wanted a set of Sennheisers...should have done this years ago! These headphones are fabulous for the money...sound quality is wonderful! A true delight and refreshing satisfaction to renew my long time love of music! No matter what volume you like, these hold true! If you're looking for bassy headphones though, these may not be what you're looking for! These to me, are more of an audiophile enthusiast product with great ranges from highs, mids and lows! I am SO very happy with them!

Very comfortable with decent sound
This headset is the most comfortable I’ve had yet. No problem using it for several hours. Much more comfortable compared to the Shure 840 and the NAD50 I owned previously.
The sound is good but maybe a bit to clinical for some.
he sound quality is really good. it is a balanced sound that is really good for music production. They have an impedance of 65 ohms so phones will have a hard time running them but through a headphone amp they sound crystal clear and details really show up in a mix.
the issue with them is the high clamping force which would give you a headache after extended usage.another small issue is the cable as there isnt enough slack from the headphone to the coiled part of the cable which makes the headphones feel heavier.
I use this to connect to my Guitar Amplifier while practicing my Guitar and it works just fine.

The Sennheiser HD 280 PRO, professional, monitoring headphones. Well at this price they are simply upto the mark. 64ohm impedence, frequency response of 8 to 25000Hz at only 6300 INR. The built quality is amazing and tough. The sound quality is beyond satisfying you can listen each and every layer of a song. Now coming to the comfort they are a little heavy so they feel tight after 3 to 4hours of continous wearing. But the product is amazing. Its has a undetached cable of length 1.3M but it can be extended to 3meters. Its also has a detachable plug. Superfast and safe delivery by amazon in COVID19. I’m not a prime use still I got the best deal and delivery. Thanks amazon team!
These are good sounding headphones, but the closed back means your ears get hot when listening for longer periods of time.

I was only going to spend 100-130 on a set of cans. after a fair amount of research, i went for these. i'm no audiophile, but i want music to sound good. these are solid in that department. noise cancellation works well enough. especially when music is playing. the only complaint i have is, they are a bit bulky, and if you knock them (if you go to scratch your head or something...) the noise from touching them transfers right into your ears, and it's loud (and annoying). Other than that, quality set. worth your bucks if you're on a budget.

Great monitor headphones. Cord could be longer or replaceable.
I’ve used various Sennheiser headphones over the years in radio and recording studios, but this is the first pair that I bought for myself. So far I am really happy with these “cans”. They are over ear and do a great job of isolating sounds. They are not noise cancelling, but external noise is minimal when fitted properly.
My only reservation about these headphones is that the coiled cord seems quite short. They stretch quite far but there’s a lot of resistance. I worry about my small, light, audio interface being pulled off the desk if I move too far. I wish that the cord were removable or replaceable as is possible with some other similar brands/models. I may invest in a ” extension cable.

I’m a Sennheiser user since past 6 years and I trust the brand’s quality without a doubt. But this headphone crossed the limit of my expectations.
Just when you take it out from the box and put it over your ears, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Super Noise Cancellation! Even your own voice will sound muffled. I have used HD180 and HD200 earlier, and they are satisfactory headphones. Then I switched to cx275s earphones for listening and they are the best sounding earphones in the range of <2k, with the widest range of frequency from 15-23k hz. Although a monitoring headphone and an earphone doesn't have a competition, still I thought I should compare both, the HD280 Pro and CX275s, and boy, "Zameen aasmaan ka antar"!! The CX275s sounded like a cheap earphone in front of HD280 Pro. The sound is crystal clear, and damn accurate!
The weight of the headphone is just cherry on top. It's miraculously light.
The length of the cable is fairly long, more than 1 meter normally and the coiled cable can stretch upto 3+ meters easily. Strong cable, although not very rough and tough. Handle carefully because you don't want such a good pair of headphones to go waste just because your cable broke.
The only drawback in it is that the cable isn't detachable. Which may cause a fault later on.
You also get a TRS adapter pin with the headphone to connect it to an audio interface or an amplifier.
Best headphones you can expect under 10,000 for sound production. Superb Noise cancellation, superb clarity and extremely comfortable. Would have loved if I could detach the cable, other than that, no complaints.
Just putting the headphones on without music cuts off 40% of sound around you, playing music at even 15% volume cuts off all outside sound, you wont be able to hear a person talking straight at you 2 feet away.
Audio quality compares to studio headphones 3x the price.
Comfort is way better than the old model HD 280 Pro, but will get warm after a few hours, i find myself needing to take them off every 2-3 hours.
Great product for the price poi
I purchased these for my daughter’s electronic drum set so she can play at any time of day and not bother anyone.
I paired them with a FiiO A3 headphone amplifier and listened to some FLAC audio files on my PC and I was impressed. They aren’t going to make any audiophiles drool, but for those of us who aren’t, these do the job and do it very well. I played some very heavy drum tracks and was quite happy with the range. These will do fine and they’ll do even better with a decent amplifier.
They aren’t designed to be noise canceling and lots of noise came in through them when I wasn’t blasting music. It was quite shocking how well I could hear outside of them compared to my ATH-M50X headphones that I personally use. Honestly, this isn’t a problem though, and I wouldn’t take off stars.
I can’t comment on the comfort. I only wore them for an hour and they never felt uncomfortable or hurt during that time, but who knows with prolonged use.
Sound quality awesome it was awesome product
Easy to use
Chrystal clear sound great noise cancellation &comfortable to wear for hours

EPIC SOUND EXPERIENCE
SO, I got sick and tired of my plugs, so I ordered these to have a better and more comfortable sound experience.
I listen to music while I work from home and it serves me so that I don’t get distracted by other things, therefore enhancing the quality of my work.
I literally just got them and plugged them in and I am beyond amazed.
The sound quality is so amazing, I had to turn it DOWN and adjust my equalizer to take a lil bass OUT!!!
I feel like I am in a coccoon of sound and music and vocals and everything washes over me from all kinds of different angles!!!! The outside world simply vanished. AWESOME!!!
It’s been a long time since I was able to enjoy music like this. It gives me goosebumps all over!!!!
FANTASTIC PRODUCT!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!
Amazing and getting the best sound of mix and mastering
I love the curly cord on it, good quality sound

I was recommended to buy this product from a youtube video. This was for my son when he practices drums. It was always a concern to his listening while playing drums so I end up decided to buy a good headset to use also could protect himself from the big noise. Everything I have heard from him back so far is positive. I will update if anything that he doesn't like or gone bad.

For the price the sound quality of these headphones is great, what you compromise in looks you gain in back in cost savings and sound quality. Because these are monitoring headphones by Sennheiser means lots of artists use these to create their music which in turn results in an accurate and clean music listening experience. If you’re not planning on using these headphones for general music listening then I can still recommend them for just monitoring as the ear pads cover the entire ear in a thick layer of foam while still remaining comfortable which results in outside sounds being reduced heavily and you being able to wear the headphones for long periods of time without irritation. These headphones are also great because they work with just about any headphone amp from a weak smartphone's amp to a Schitt Asgard 2 amp. Also for anybody who likes listening to music while I dunno snowplowing then you'll be glad to know that these work as a decent pair of earmuffs as well as being great headphones!

Insane noise isolation, very comfortable, the sound is unequalled. Only complaints I can give is they are a bit fragile (the plastic headband and the simili leather on earpads). This is my second pair, they are amazing. I use them for music and gaming on PC.
