I didn't need these, but I bought them anyway. But that's okay, because even right out of the box they sound good to me. I don't find them bass-less, even before breaking them in -- the bass is there, it's just very well behaved. Not much less bass than my fully broken-in Senn 497, actually. (The 280 seems to resemble the 497 more closely than I would've thought, since the latter is an open design.) And the isolation means I don't have to hear my air conditioner/heater kicking in every few minutes.
Soundstage is not bad at all for a closed phone, especially compared to the V6. And a more pleasant overall sound than the V6; I can tell I will be less fatigued by the 280.
Classical music sounds especially nice so far.
Can I assume these will only get better? A LITTLE more bass wouldn't hurt anything....
