First of all limited buget so this is the level in headphones for me for now.

I listen all kind of music (class., jazz, swing.....tehno,rap,hip-hop)

From the reviews I understand that Senn497 are good more for class.,jazz.. music then for DJ stuff. So I think with 280 I'll have decent headphones for all my music.

Should I buy them here are 100euro.

Thanks!

personally I like the HD497 over the HD280s. although one is open and the other is closed. HD497 are definately more comfortable than the HD280's and although I didn't hear them side by side I tossed the HD280's back in the box after 5 mins of testing whereas the HD497s sounded good and although i returned em after an hour of testing, they were much better imho than the HD280s.

if you don't need to worry about sound leaking i'd stick with the hd497s.

Thanks!
I was thinking to 280 more for bass and DJ music.

HD280 actually is another headphone that stresses the high-end over the lows. They need a very long break-in period before the the bass is completely brought out, but even then they're not very warm.

HD280 is a mostly analytical pair of headphones, with very clear and detailed trebles (but also harsh and fatiguing), with a accurate but not very full bass.

HD497 has a fuller bass, warmer, a little muddier and doesn't extend as far, but far more enjoyable than the bass in HD280. HD280 is for people who has that certain taste, I suppose, I'm not one of them. They are very good at revealing details (especiallly the high-end), but not so good with exciting music.

I have both the HD497s and the HD280s. The differences are as described above. I'm one of the oddballs who prefers the HD280s.
