Count me in as well for someone who doesn't like the HD280s. My main problem with them was the redicously recessed bass response. Midrange and treble were a little honky and I found the highs to be slightly simbalent--however these flaws can be forgiven; no headphone is perfect (especially at in this price range)--but the far too recessed bass totally killed the the HD280s IMO--no matter what kind of music you listen to you're going to need to more bass than these phones can provide.
Just my take, though, I don't mean to hurt the feelings of anyone who likes these cans. But if your searching for a closed phones in the same price range I'd recommend the D66, V6, and PX200 over the HD280. I find the DT231 to be as flawed as the HD280s but for a different reason--they are far too warm and undetailed to really enjoy the music.
