I may be getting my Sennheiser HD555 sold today.

I need a closed headphone as the AC and Fan in this room is loud as hell.

I heard the HD280 PRO senns are better and gives far better bass than the HD555?

I only have $100 US max to spend.

With $100 budget, the 280 Pro is right up your alley. I don't recall how bassy they are (haven't used mine for a couple years), but they will definitely keep out the noise. One thing I did not like about them (when I was using them regularly) was the coiled cord.

EDIT: I just re-read your subject and I must confess that I used them for watching movies, not for music. Sorry...

hmm one of my main reason for selling the HD555 is to get a proper bass driven headphone.

The HD 280 is like 59% off on Amazon so you get it for $86 instead of $200.

is the Grado SR 80 better?

Definitely about as un-closed as they come.

i need one thats good at reproducing all sounds and giving good bass and treble and stuff.

It also must be closed.

Will the HD280 PRO do?

It will, just don't be afraid to recess those horrid mids a bit with an equalizer.

Bass is a tad light compared to the mids, but definitely deep and very good for cans of this price. They are also great for games and movies.
