I am looking for a new pair of headphones to listen to music at work etc. I am no audiophile, but really want a good set of closed-set headphones for under $125 and I am placing comfort high on my list as I will be wearing them for hours at a time. Sound isolation is important as I work in an...

Hello. First post. Love he forum. Been lurking a while. I just made the jump from Apple iPhone 4 to the HTC thunderbolt. None of my headphones with a Mic work with it. I have learned Apple wires it different and the Droid can't use volume adjust. Only clicker and Mic. Instead of buying nice...

Hi all. First off I dont have an iPhone. I have an HTC thunderbolt. Apple phones and players all have DIFFERENT terminal connections. I have learned this by buying many headers and returning them. Android phones can't use the Apple standard three button and Mic control. Android can only use a...

what do you guys think???? My mate tells me the 280's are better cause it has more ohms..... im an ultra noob to headphones. please educate me.

Hello gurus.   I really need your opinion on these headphones, which of these sound the best. I listed all these as they all seems to fall on my budget, but I'm having tough times to decide which one to buy. Hopes you gurus here could help.   Cheers.

I have a pair of HD-280 Pros and a macbook pro. I'm looking for a portable amp that would work decently--> well with both applications. I've been looking at the bithead but not sure if that's the correct choice.   What are your thoughts? I would like to get a little bit more bass out of the...

I like a nice, flat sound with powerful, punchy bass (but not too much midbass). I've ruled out the Westone 3 because of the midbass hump and fatiguing high end. I just find that I enjoy my HD280s much more than my Triple.fi 10s, particularly because of the less-veiled midrange. Would the UM3X...

I got them after somebody recommended them here six years ago.  They are still going strong.  I will still use them for watching TV at night, but now I'm looking for something more musical. I listen to all kinds of music (Electronic, Metal, Classical, Jazz, Latin, etc) so I need an all-around...

The right earphone in my sennheisers went out yesterday and, though I have sent them back for repairs, I will probably retire them to backup status when they return. I am willing to spend 300-350 dollars (I may go up to 400 if it's a good deal). My general knowledge of the headphone world is...

I have owned a NuForce Icon Mobile since just after they came out. I used it for a while pretty faithfully until I spent a lot of time and effort on my home 2-channel system. I just recently started using it again and the USB DAC portion is no longer functional but it still functions as a...

Dug out a pair of HD280 Pro's from under the bed. I like them, but the cable is heavy and annoying. I'd like to replace it.    I was going to get some Mogami Quad cable and a good connector from double helix. Are these decent choices?

  The Ultrasone HFI-580 I had I decided to give to my brother and he gave me his HD280 Pro because I needed something with good isolation for studio class and to me these had way better isolation.  I don't really want to go off and buy another pair of HFI-580s since I can always trade back...

Hey everybody! So with Christmas time approaching I've been compiling a list of possible gifts and one of my major choices is a good pair of headphones. I have always associated sennheiser with some of the best audio out there so I decided that my first pair of good (decent/under 100$)...

I've been doing some research on this site for a while and have decided on a great headphone to get for my brother. He wants good isolation (annoying parents and get away from the world feel). But I've also read that Grado is better for heavy metal so now I'm a little stuck because my budget is...

How would I get my HD280 sent in for jack repair? Would a bent jack even matter? I don't hear much change in sound quality, besides sounding much more quiet than usual... (sorry if this is the wrong forum, I am relatively new) Thanks!

Hey I'm out looking for a new set of cans and I've looked around a lot and it seems everyone raves about both of these. Ive tried the sens HD280 they sounded great but they felt buly  but i really want to hear the ultrasones the reviews I've read are impressive but i can't find them around here...

Hello.   I've had my HD-280s for years and now I'm looking to upgrade them as a Christmas present to myself.   I mainly listen to music through my iPod without an amp. I've heard it's not best to use higher end headphones with an iPod, but I listen to most of my music away from a...

I mostly listen to rock music, do not own a AMP and need a pair of closed phones for noisy places,  I ride the bus home everyday, and the general screaming and yelling, is just at the tolerance level of my ears, add music to the mix and all I can feel is pain, so I was hoping to get some closed...

Hi, i wanna buy some headhphones to use with an ipod touch and a portable amp fioo e6, and i cant decide wich one to buy:   koss pro dj 100 or sennheiser hd 280, pro dj have less frecuency than the senn( 10 -25000 for koss against 8 - 25000 of the senn) but impendance of koss is less (32...

I've been wanting to upgrade for a while now, and I have decided to buy myself a christmas present!  Ive been looking for a while now, and have come to the two headphones (sennheiser hd280 pro, and audio tech. atc-m30) and cant really decide between the two.  i have no real need for portability...

Hello,   I just got a pair of HD 280's for Christmas, but I have a few questions I hope you guys could help me with. A lot of reviews talk about amping a headphone, but unfortunately all I have is a regular laptop and no amp. Should I stick with these headphones or would I be better off with...

I stumbled onto some of these at the Galleria Best Buy in Houston in the Musical Instruments section, and considering I work at Magnolia HT, I purchased them for $60 on our discount because these are the "legendary" Sennheisers. Now, look, I don't do much browsing on here because there's such an...

I bought some lousy AIWA headphones about a year ago. At first the bass was ok and the phones were OK for their price (about 14$ ). Anyway after about three months the bass became distorted when I upped the volume a bit. This i guess is partly due to me listening m a i n l y bassy, speedy music...

  ...and now   a review of the notorious Sennheiser HD280Pro Reference Headphones     Okay, I know it's kind of a scary thought, but I do work at Best Buy, in Magnolia Home Theater, in fact.  What that means is that it helps me through school and I get all the perks (and...
