Worth it 
2008-07-02
These headphones are amazing. Very good quality sound coupled with excellent noise cancelation. The cord can get in the way a little, but seeing as how that is the only annoyance, I still gave it a five-star review. I recommend these for anyone looking to isolate themselves from a distracting environment or seeking a rewarding musical experience.

Great headphones for a gr8 price. If u really want exceptional quality monitoring headphones in a noisy environment where you need it to be at a minimum then this pair the HD 280 is perfect for the job. My only gripe with it is with my ears not fitting too comfortably around it, not recommended for regular personal usage with a walkman for biking as an example.
Wait for it...

I bought these about half a year ago when they were on sale for $65, after graduating from Sennheiser EH-150 Evolution Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones
I wouldn't say I was impressed, given my very high expectations, but sometimes I'll be listening to music and it's gooood.
Cons:
- Jaw-ear area starts to hurt after a few hours of use;
- If you're going bass or volume-heavy, be wary of emitting noise;
- Been told I look ridiculous wearing them
Great Product 2008-06-23
Great Headphones, amazing sound. I use these with my Zune 80gb and on my laptop with HD sound card. I also play some games that require directional hearing, and these headphones work great. At first they were a bit tight, even though I have a relatively small head, but after waring a few times they fit perfect. Block out external sound well, and very little leakage even at higher volume.
Great sound, but too tight 
2008-06-15
They sounded great, but they were way too tight (and I have a small head). They gave me a headache after less then an hour of wearing them. I returned them and bought a pair of AKG K240s. The AKG's are much more comfortable, but I'd say the Sennheisers may have sounded just tad better, though it's had to say for sure since I couldn't listen side-by-side.
Durable 2008-07-19
I bought a pair of these 4 or 5 years ago and my treatment of them has been nothing short of abusive. I really beat the hell out of them, for years, and they hold up like a champ. They sound great too but that's all in the spec sheet.
Amazing! 2008-07-19
These headphones are great. Great sound. Great bass, Man I almost didn't buy these because people said there was not a great bass. Glad I didn't listen to them. The Bass is amazing, and I would know I'm Jamaican, man. These babies also get loud. Holy $h!t, man blow your house away. These are better than most of the brands in $500 range, pretty amazing. Pro quality headphones, for hobo's price range. Buy these headphones, great for Bob Marley, man. And they're German so you know they are made well. Sennheiser HD 280 is the only way to go. One love, man.
Solid Headphones 2008-07-17
Really solid headphones, nice and sturdy. They take a little time getting used to the pressure that they put on your ears but once you get past that they sound fantastic. They also eliminate pretty much all of the background noise.
I can hear it. 2008-07-09
I was looking for a new set of cans, headphones that is... i had always bought the 19.99 -30.00 cheapos, and inevitably after a few months or a year they would breakdown. no biggie, it's like cheap sunglasses. Well, I have been getting more into recording and wanted to find a little bit better set. A friend of mine suggested the high-end senheiser, which are bit tooo high end for my budget and they are all open ear design (meaning that the headphones aren't fully enclosed for a more natural sound experience) the problem is that the sound bleeds quite noticably and this would not be ok.
anways, i did some research and decided on the HD 280 Pro set from sennheiser and i am EXTREMELY happy. I can hear things in songs that i had never heard before. like singer's taking breaths, clicking of guitar strings even the clarity of notes.
The 280s fit over the ear snugly, but there is plenty of padding so it is quite comfy. Though they can get a little warm. My only complaint would be that they are ever so slightly muddy, but i expected this after reading the difference between closed ear and open ear headphones. open have a much brighter, punchy sound..while the closed tend to be fuller.
Great headphones at a very reasonable price.
No-Nonsense Headphones 2008-07-09
I bought these headphones bearing them in mind that I would use them at work primarily for blocking out the gossip ninnies. I find them a little tight, but I don't notice after wearing them for 10 minutes. The sound reproduction is well balanced all around. Being that these are over the head cans, I think I will get more use out of them if I make an Altoids tin amp one of these days.
