    Customers like the sound quality of the headphones. They say it has clear sound, crisp highs, clean mids, and healthy bass. They also say the headphones strive to reproduce audio as faithfully as possible. Customers also appreciate the noise isolation, saying that higher frequencies do not hiss. They mention that the treble is slightly underemphasized from 2k to 8k, which helps reduce harshness. Customers are also happy that the headphones don't leak too much music outside the cups.

    324 customers mention229 positive95 negative

    Customers like the performance of the headphones. For example, they say they work well, they play perfectly, and are the very best they've ever used. Some say that the replacement Sennheiser parts work perfectly, the Fosi Audio k5pro drives them nicely, and they work perfect for field recording as well as in the studio when editing. That said, some say the headphones have gotten better over time.

    "...The sound is natural, pretty much like real life. No artificial boosts or drops in parts of the range going from high to low...." Read more

    "...Just all the basic stuff and these work really well...." Read more

    "...of these lasted over five years of heavy use before one of the speakers stopped working...." Read more

    "...Fosi Audio k5pro drives them nicely and loud. Clamp force is a tad tight on the head, but it loosens up with wear." Read more

    987 customers mention678 positive309 negative

    Customers are mixed about the comfort of the headphones. Some mention that the design is more comfortable for long-term use, with an adjustable headband to provide comfort during extended listening sessions. However, others say that they're uncomfortable to wear for an extended amount of time, with a hard head and not a relaxed fit. The ear cushions have gotten a bit squishy, and it's awkward to use while taking walks or going out in public.

    "...of use, they seem to have relaxed a bit and now are plenty comfortable to wear for long hours without issue...." Read more

    "...Strangely, these were comfortable for me to wear for an entire day of listening on all these devices and the audio was far superior to the previous..." Read more

    "...They are very tight in fact. Four Newtons of force are applied, a number significantly larger than most headphones...." Read more

    "...Everything else is comfortable about them, but when you feel like there is a black hole between your ears pulling these ear cups in on you it is..." Read more

    717 customers mention306 positive411 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the fit of the headphones. Some mention that they fit great with small heads, while others say that they're a bit tight around big heads. The ear pieces fit perfectly around the ears and the tension is perfect keeping them securely. However, some customers feel the headphones squeeze their head with the grip strength of a tiger.

    "...that most of the plastic on the headband has broken off, the fit is quite a bit looser though the headband is still held together by a wide piece of..." Read more

    "...about the 280's since many reviews noted they have a decent clamping fit on the head...." Read more

    "...issue based on head shape, but I find that these like to squeeze your head with the grip strength of a professional arm wrestler on steroids...." Read more

    "...indicated this was an issue but these Sennheisers are adjustable both in width and depth...." Read more

    471 customers mention270 positive201 negative

    Customers are mixed about the durability of the headphones. Some mention that they are very durable and tough, and hold up when listening to a wide range of genres. They are designed to keep going for years, and will well outlast the product. However, others say that they feel cheaper, are more fragile, and have started to fall apart. The leather parts have deteriorated badly, and one ear died in under 4 years.

    "...Sound is nicely crisp and defined, no muddy areas. Holds up when listening to a wide range of genres, from rap to classical, pop to country,..." Read more

    "...The ear cushions on my 6+ year headphones are worn past the leatherette, past the foam and to the foam backing layer...." Read more

    "...aren't going to experience muddy tones in your lows, and the highs are not breaking up. Keeps a focus on detail and does not disappoint...." Read more

    "...These headphones are known for their robust construction, sound isolation, and accurate audio reproduction...." Read more

    364 customers mention131 positive233 negative

    Customers are mixed about the portability of the headphones. Some mention that the design allows them to fold for compact storage and transport, making them convenient for travel. However, others say that the headphones are too heavy, cumbersome, and the cord is a bit heavy.

    "...Just as I feared though, the plastic HAS cracked and you can see the thin wires (covered in plastic or rubber) exposed...." Read more

    Great reference, neutral headphones.
    5 Stars
    Great reference, neutral headphones.
    Great sound and quality. HD280Pro is used by many and for many different types of applications, and I see why, it’s a great all-around set of headphones. Sound noise isolation is pretty good too. Easy to drive, low impedance. I even use it for gaming (cod), ears do get warm, but the cushions and overall comfort is excellent. Fosi Audio k5pro drives them nicely and loud. Clamp force is a tad tight on the head, but it loosens up with wear.
