What about the Sennheiser HD280 Pro?
What about sound though?
V6 became my worst hp purchase ever. I preferred every hp before and after it
Actually I think it was in the 7520 thread on this forum, but this is just as surprising! People seem to get very attached to their V6' and 7506's. To an extent I understand it. Those phones are in a way very well balanced, and if you get used to the sound I can imagine it's hard to like other things. BUT, they lie! They lie extremely well, but they lie. Despite the fact that the FR seems quite flat, they nonetheless sound quite V shaped and coloured. And I really don't believe that the bass on the V6 is more extended than the 7520!
They become attached to V6 and 7506 because they are often their first decent pairs.
I've only tried the 280 once so I can't really comment. But the fact is the 380 are a model higher so should sound better.
The HD380's are not at best buy, if I were to return my HD280's I would only get best buy store credit. So what are the best Best Buy headphones for under 150$ for studio use? Should I just keep the HD280's? I cant get market place items at Best Buy with store credit either.
I like these headphones but they are so uncomfortable and clunky
Looking over what best buy has, I don't see anything I'd prefer over the HD280s in the $50-150 range. Though, if there is any way to shift your funds from Best Buy, I'd recommend picking up either an HD25-II or an Amperior for less clunkiness.
