I just got my HD280 Pros in a "sort of trade" deal.

They have yet to break in fully, and I need to spend some time with them, so I will not give impressions. Besides, these cans already have a wealth of information on them on these boards.

But I will make one comment... Magicthyse is truly not kidding about the dork factor involved with these headphones. They are like a big clamp on my head. I think it helps if you have a big head or a big afro to fill some of the space on the sides. They look better with my hat off in this regard. But alas, I think that is part of what makes them so fun and unique

. I'm gonna enjoy prancing 'round the library being known as "the dork with the clamp on his head".

*snigger*

could be worse - try the Philips HP890s

Then again, try some not-so-dorky poses, perhaps "look at me, I'm a dj scratchin' it up on my wheels of steel"

Too bad they didn't have the HD 280s back in the late 70's; Doctor J could of made a killing in endorsements.

There is such a thing as too much info.

Lobster, you ought too see what I look like with the HP-1s on. I literally scare the dog....maybe it's not the headphones though.

Hmm, anyone feel guilty for recommending the 280s to people?

Ahhhhh,...I feel so much better now...(but still laughing)...

That was just SO funny.

Thanks for brightening my evening. I think I'll stick with my V6s for a closed, accurate phone.
