I also have the HD280s and am running them out of a portable (amp on the way) and my home system. I'd reiterate-don't give up on them yet. They do, at times, rattle my ears with the amount of air they move due to bass response. What I'm finding is that a lot of it is recording dependent-you're hearing the bass as it's recorded, which is not always strong or impactful. Be careful about buying headphones that always provide a thundering bass impact-they probably are adding something that isn't there.
All in all, as a closed-headphone compromise, I'm pleased with the HD280. They're letting me hear details in recordings that are adding quite a bit to my listening experience.
