Sennheiser HD 280 silver Review by A. DeLoatch (NJ)
I bought these after my Sennheiser HD 238 broke and also wanted something that was not heavy on base. These fit the bill for me I have use these headphones to listen to movies on my Tablets and Laptop. Everything was so clear and able to here those special effects more clearly as well as spoken words. I brought the Fiio E6 to go along with these headphones but have yet to use it since these sound good so far and I'm sure once I do use the E6 the sound will be even better.

Sennheiser HD 280 silver Review by Erin Ford
I received these headphones for Christmas recently and so far I am in love with them. The differences between my earbuds (Sony MDR-EX85 LP) and these 280PROs aren't blatantly obvious at first, but they're discernable. The sound as a whole sounds generally clearer and less muddy. Part of this is, I'm sure, due to the noise attenuation (a feature of these phones which is excellent and a big draw). However, the lower end of the sound does sound..I'm not sure how to say this. Less "punchy" I suppose you could say. The notes are there, and very clear, but it sounds more like notes than the real "bassy" sound, if I'm getting that across well. Almost like it has less power behind it.
Well, in a sense, that's exactly right. Remember, these are 64ohm headphones, so they're made more for studio work (plugged into amplifiers, etc). I recently purchased a new cd player for my room (because my old one died; I haven't listened to cds through a receiver in ages). I plugged in my 280PROs to the receiver/cd player combo and BAM. This is where the difference between lower end audio equipment and middle range stuff like this is clearly apparent. Everything still sounds clear, but you get so much more of a sense of being "in the room" with the artists. People do seem to remark that these headphones lack bass. I suspect that these reviewers didn't listen to music with these phones through anything more highly powered than an iPod or a phone (which is what I did at first; iPod Touch 2G and a Galaxy Nexus, to be specific). I challenge anybody reading to listen to Suck My Kiss by the Red Hot Chili Peppers through a receiver and a cd player and still keep a straight face while telling me these phones lack bass.
I'm not an audiophile by most stretches of the imagination, but 280PROs + CDs + receiver = something very near to a religious experience for me.
100% recommended, especially at this price. $80? Talk about a steal. Get em.
Sennheiser HD 280 silver Review by HPvet (Geneva, Illinois)
Bought this product for the following applications:
1) Playstation 3 Games
Primarily use these headphones for Rocksmith. Prior to purchase, I was using inexpensive Sony and JVC open headphones which presented two problems. First, the volume was too low when they were directly connected to the Playstation. I could turn up the volume to max on my guitar to hear my own sound but the game music and voice announcements were barely audible. Hooking up the Sennheisers easily doubled the volume, allowing me to turn down the guitar volume which now blends much better with the Rocksmith audios. I also bought an E6 amp which improved the sound slightly but have been usually playing without. Our home is very open with a cathedral loft where I play while my wife reads or watches TV below. The headphones effectively blocked the TV audio.
2) iPod 6thGen
Like to use my iPod nano and shut out the home noise while listening. These headphones amazed me with their sensitivity and how much volume I could crank out of my teeny nano 6th gen. I have some high frequency hearing loss so I will allow others to comment on the overall performance but I was able to hear things I was missing. For example, Sarah Brightman's vibrato really jumped out at me. It was there before but I had just missed it in the past. Again, although I used the E6 it was unnecessary. However, I'm going to keep it. If I crank the iPod down and the E6 up it should help me extend listening time.
3) Laptop
Occasionally, I'll plugin while working at the computer although after hearing how great the Sennheisers sound I'll probably be doing it more often. In this application, as well as the above, the coiled cord on these Sennheisers give you nice range and flexibility without the tangles or cords stuck under the desk chair. Volume was acceptable on both laptops I own. Again no need for the E6. However, both PCs have high quality DAC and are marketed as entertainment devices.
4) Receiver and CD player
Tried both the Sony receiver output and Sony 5 disc player component. Make sure the volume is turned down on the receiver or the Sennheiser's sensitivity is going to blow your ears out. The disc was another matter and if I used this output I would probably need to use the little E6. Come to think of it, I'll have to check the manual and remote on the Sony. There may be volume control.
5) Guitar
Tried a direct plug into my electic since the Sennheisers come with a neat little 1/4 inch adapter. Problem - the adapter is stereo and the guitar is mono so you'll hear only the left channel. Also, the volume isn't loud enough. But pumping it though my little personal guitar mounted amp the sound was plenty loud, and plenty clear, a big improvement over earbuds or open headphones.
6) TV
Perfect but I'll need a 15 foot extension cord for it to be effective.
This is not my first set of closed headphones but in previous units the heat buildup was very uncomfortable. Strangely, these were comfortable for me to wear for an entire day of listening on all these devices and the audio was far superior to the previous ancient Koss headphones I chucked several years ago. In addition, I have a wide head. Opticians never carry lens frames wide enough for me to wear in the sample cases. I was concerned by several reviews that indicated this was an issue but these Sennheisers are adjustable both in width and depth. I could actually adjust them to be comfortably loose at my desk or tighten them to grip firmly while standing and moving with the guitar.
I was surprised by the overall value and had expected them to be only acceptable in certain environments, perhaps excelling only with a receiver. The ability to use these in every situation makes this an incredible value. Very happy with my purchase!
