Anyway, this headphone is really recommended for anyone who loves to watch movies, and IMHO it's much better ... Read review

The Sennheiser HD 280 Pro is a very good quality headset for the price. They do a very good job blocking outside noise and they also keep from leaking sound. The adjustable and rotative cups make them flexible and easy to store away. They are also as mentioned in the description very useful for monitoring in musical compositions as the headphones do not hype the lows and highs for you, distorting the sound. The cups are cushioned and are quite ...

I for one can not use them for more then an hour straight without having to take them off for about 5 minutes. They are however without a doubt, worth the salt you spill on them. Summary: These headsets are perfect for semi-pro monitoring on music and for ... Read review
