  yeah, V280 is still powerful and drives cans with an iron grip, it's not in the shadows of its bigger brother. The slim design I checked out during the High End show really had its own appeal.
The knob of the V281 is just a sight to behold and giving really good tactile feedback, but I guess you need to be a fan of Anfassqualitäten. :D

Thanks for your impressions! As far as I could see, there's not plenty more reviews around. Is there anyone that could publish their impressions about the V280?
 
There's a lot of reviews about the V281, but I don't seem to find much about the V280.

I sent a V280 to Headfonia, they are working on a full review. Not sure when they'll be finished though.

Do you have any impressions about the V280 you would like to share?

Mine just arrived, it's not small at all, I was actually hoping for something smaller for my office setup: at the moment I'm using it with my hd650 on s.e., with the optional xmos usb input as source, can't really complain with what I'm hearing. 
I'll try to connect it later with my dac and compare it with the taurus.

I don't think Arthur is allowed to comment on a product he sells due to the conflict of interest.

Mmmmm - 5 and 6 seem very reasonable, 4 does not, unless it's viewed flexibly.
 
I would have thought that it's very reasonable for an expert on the product to be able to comment on it.
 
However - such comments should be accurate and technically factuall based and not advertising.
 
Back in the day I used to work for Sennheiser and I was certainly allowed to post factual information about Sennheiser products at the time, and I was certainly allowed to answer any questions asked.
 
But, of course, these were all factual.

here sitting close to the taurus, I tried to compare them but it's not an easy task, more I don't have the competences. My first impression, using the hd800 (stock, balanced), is that the v280 has smaller sound stage, more punch and warmer tonality. Generally speaking I'm not a fan of the volume knob with detents, but it's not that terrible to deal with.
