So I've been looking at many different headphones and I do not understand how you would determine which one is better than which. For example, the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro has a frequency response of 8Hz - 25KHz whereas the Sennheiser HD 555 have a frequency response of 15Hz - 28KHz. Many say that the 280 doesn't even come close to the 555 and why is that?
I figured that the 280 would have better bass but a slightly crappier high frequency sound than the 555. Is this difference enough to make the 280 considered trash?
"HD280 = no. Super boring headphone, very cold. I would go as far as to say un-musical."
My guess is that you can't judge headphones by looking at their technical data.
