About the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro
A "studio staple" that works well at home and the office
A "studio staple" that works well at home and the office
There's a reason Sennheiser still produces the iconic HD 280 Pro headphones. These classics earned their reputation in the recording studio, but their clear, well-balanced sound is great for listening to music as well. They are so detailed and accurate that we used them as our "control" headphones when developing our SpeakerCompare™ technology for auditioning speakers online virtually.
The padded earcups significantly reduce external sound, so the headphones can be used in the office or high-noise environments. They also swivel for single-ear monitoring, and allow the headphones to fold flat for easy storage.
From the review Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Headphones: Comfortable sound
"The HD 280 Pros are a good, basic set of headphones that can be a marked improvement over the earbuds that come with most portable audio devices. Even if you're not a DJ in a club, the tight seal of the earcups and the solid sound reproduction of the headphones make a winning combination. Whether you're looking for a good set of headphones for work, or just want better-than-average headphones for on-the-go listening, consider the Senneheiser HD 280 Pro headphones."

Featured review
Natural sound not colored or over bassed to compensate for poor quality MP3. Certainly not the same as listening with a pair of B&W 802's but very good for the price.

Customer Q&A
Q
Can other people in the room hear the tv still even when you have the headset on?
A
It depends on how load the volume is. My wife tells me she can hear when I use them at a higher level, so there is a degree of bleed for a few feet around them.

Product Research
Features
Design: The Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones adjust to the shape of your head, with their joints, flexible materials and extendable arms. The closed design attenuates ambient noise up to 32 dB. They are very comfortable, even if used for long periods due to their lightweight, soft, circum-aural ear cushions, and padded, adjustable headband.
Magnet System: These headphones use neodymium magnets, offering high efficiency and light weight.
Eliptical Circumaural Earcups: The HD 280 Pro headphones feature an around-the-ear design, with soft ear cups to provide optimum comfort in those places where sturdy material would rest on your head.
Impedance: With a 64 Ω impedance, the HD 280s are compatible with nearly any source.
Collapsible: The headphones fold for easy storage.
Single-Sided Cord: The coiled cable attaches to only one side (left), so it's less likely to get tangled when you move.
Full Size Adapter: The headphones come with a screw-on 3.5mm-to-1/4" adapter already installed. It can be easily removed so you can use the headphones with your favorite portable music sources.
Replaceable Parts: Sennheiser headphones are modular for long service life. Ear cushions, headbands, and cables are easily snapped out so new ones, which can be ordered from the manufacturer, can take their place.
