After a lot of tweaking at work (and hundreds of hours of burn in) I am currently happy with these in Foobar2000 for my HD280 Pro headphones:
0 -1 -2 -4 -5 -6 -7 -6 -6 -5 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 0 -1
In my opinion these settings make a HUGE difference with these headphones, making them sound quite good (and comparable to more expensive headphones) compared to the sound of unequalized HD280s.
I think digital equalization like this can be used to make many headphones sound a lot better than they do without equalization (and potentially move past some much more expensive headphones that normally would sound better). The other plus is that it lets you tune the headphones to your liking easily, rather than requiring you to go out and try various combinations of interconnects, amps, sources, etc. to achieve a good balance.
