Hello, since I'm new here I figure it's best to introduce myself. My name is John and I live in Oregon.   My current set up consists of nothing but Sennheiser HD-280 Pro's which I have been happily using for the last six years. I have finally decided it to be worth my while to buy a...

I made a thread over at in the amp section, but figured it might be appropriate to ask here as well. Below is a shorter summary of what's going on.       Quote:   Equipment -- HT Omega Striker (soundcard, click to zoom in to see connections) Schiit Asgard (amp) Sennheiser...

I am looking to upgrade from my current ATH-A900's and 280Pros. I find the A900's bass to be insuffient, especially its sub-bass, and the 280's to be a bit too sterile and I don't love their high-end. I will be mostly using it for home music listening and for music production tasks in electronic...

I'm looking for a pair of over the ear headphones that have pretty good quality sound for my price range of $40-$100. I am getting these for a friend as a gift so them trying them on prior to purchase most likely would NOT happen. These headphones should be good to go by just plugging in an iPod...

I'm no headphone genius, so that's why I'm here. About a year and a half ago, I got some Sennheiser HD280 Pros for my birthday. While I've enjoyed them and they produce clear audio, I feel like I could do better (ESPECIALLY with bass, which is almost nonexistent). I'm looking for the best pair...

Hey guys, i was wondering if there are any mods i can do to my HD-280 Pros? Also, if you are allowed to clean the hd 280 pros with water? the headphone band gets kinda smelly ::ewww:: after a while, i wanna take it off and like drench it in water or something... Do the ear cushions come off...

Hi, im pretty new here. always been into music. but lately the crappy ear bud or cheap headphones aint cutting it for me. how ill be using which ever headphones i chose with your guys help are either from my tablet (with an audio mod) and with my cell, usually on commutes on the bus or just out...

I started my headphone journey a little over 10 years ago when I was searching the web for a good pair of DJ headphones. At the time, I couldn't afford the Sennheiser HD-25 II as I worked a summer job and spent most of my cash on my actual DJ setup (and lots of records). The next headphone that...

I got my first pair of good cans which are the audio technica ath m50's and love them but now i have a new job and lots of money to spend and was looking for a nice set for mainly rock music with a little rap, hip hop. i mostly listen on spotify with it set at 320kbps. I was thinking about...

I just purchased a pair of MDR V6s as well as a pair of Sennheiser HD 280s.    I was looking at also buying an amp and thought that the FiiO E6 looked like a good deal. Should I even bother buying an amp for these headphones? They both already drive very easily, and I'm not sure how much...

I'm after some closed full over-ear headphones for electronic music, I almost pulled the trigger on the Sennheiser HD202s until I saw that they are more on-ear than over-ear, bit of research later I've narrowed it down to:   HD201/HD202[?] JVC HA RX700 Superlux HD-668 B (poor isolation?)...

I want to know based purely on sound quality which one is better. I used to own the hd 280 so I know how it's sounds, but I want to know how it compares to the hd518

alright, first of all, I don't have "golden ears."  so now that's out of the way, I need some helping figuring out what you do with my HD598's. here's a little sound profile: for headphones, i own a set of ATH-AD700's, HD-280's.  i also have a set of Shure e3c's and  UE Triplefi 10's. ...

  I am messing around with these, now that I have some other headphones that I can use while these are out of commission. I have modified these quite a bit already. Detachable cables, with 4 pin mini-XLR plugs in the cups, also split the cable so it goes to both ear cups. The cable is a Mogami...

Hi, I asked a question yesterday regarding the type of headphone I should buy as I just sold my beats by dre solo hd's. I've done a little research today and whittled my selections down to 2 headphones which is in my price range. I just wanted some info on which is the better headphone all...

Hello everyone.   I purchased my first nice pair of headphones recently, and went with the Sennheiser HD 280 PRO. While the item was being shipped, I realized they also make the 380 hd pro, and the price difference was about $46.   I'm wondering if the quality difference in the 380 over the...

Sennheiser HD 280 pro are  fine  cans for the  money(especially  at current prices)  good bass extension reasonably tight well  controlled bass smooth slightly rolled off treble fairly   balanced midrange .  They do require a long break in and get better after months of  use  HD 280 pro's...

Hey guys, So recently my Sennheiser HD 280s started sounding noticeably quieter in the left ear.  I opened her up, and it looks like there's some wrinkles on the driver (see image).  Is this the likely cause?  Does anybody know how to go about popping these out?  I tried blowing in them...

So I'm looking into finally upgrading my HD 280s, which has served me faithfully for some time now. They represent, along with the HD 497s, my first foray into headphones. I'm pretty happy with my set of earphones, but I need a good home 'phone to listen to, since I live in an apartment complex...

Hello,   Basically all I'm looking for is a good pair of headphones meant for punk metal, nu metal, and just rock in general.  Anything from the replacements to alice.  I also listen to alternative rap (doomtree, atmosphere, oddfuture, etc.), dubstep/electronic, house/club (not top 40), and...

Hey everyone, I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones, and I've notice that the bass seems low when listening through my iphone, and is also a bit quieter when listening through my computer. I was wondering if anyone here has a good recommendation for portable headphone amps, for both...

Well I've owned the sennheiser 280s for almost a year now and think I've finally started to outgrow them. I'm starting to notice a difference when I try nicer friends headphones. I mainly listen to indy and country, but what I really look for is the vocal clarity and instrumental clarity. From...

After owning a pair of Sennheiser HD280 Pro and Audio Technica A700, both of which are long gone, I have decided to buy a new set of headphones. I appreciate closed-back for isolation, and listen to rock, some rap, movies, and video games. The HD280 Pros were pretty neutral, and lacked the...

I have a note 3 and a galaxy s3. Both perform extremly well with my two dac, an asus muses and a chinese custom board with xmos usb. In my home I have also 2 pc, a portable sony and a nuc intel with dedicated linear power supply, but the quality is not the same as my android source + UAPP...
