Sennheiser's popular headphones, the HD 280 Pro

These are probably my favorite headphones in the product line for those who want to upgrade from cheap $20 headphones to something significantly different, but affordable. I have been impressed by their user replaceable parts, dynamic stereo that delivers accurate sound, and their universal compatibility with audio playing devices from home listening to studio monitoring. Probably one of the distinguishing factors of these headphones is that they are budget friendly. Not only are they affordable for studio quality headphones, but their parts are replaceable and if taken care of can last you a very long time. The other exciting aspect of these headphones is the natural sound quality, which also includes an attention to creating an astounding production of silence, which allows you to appreciate the music as it starts playing it is much clearer because the background noises have been attenuated so effectively. One common complaint amongst people with larger heads is that these headphones are tight, which means it would be much better to try them out before committing to buy one of these cans. Another unique aspect of these headphones is their high fidelity, where you can hear the artist's breath, every touch of the guitar, every hiss of static in old jazz recordings and pretty much everything can be heard. Artificial noise is practically absent even with high volume. This can be a turn off for some people, so beware, it is like watching a black and white movie on a super HD TV and seeing everything like the scratches in the film, and all, so make sure this is something you like have. Last but not least, the degree of comfort with these headphones are remarkable as the soft cushion of the leather pads on the cups allow a very comfortable fit and superb noise cancellation from the surrounding environment. As for portability, while these headphones do fold, they are not technically classified as fully portable. So they might not be so easy with travel and may be a bit bulky for that purpose. They also don't come with a carry case, so if you are planning on doing a lot of travel, find something that can house them. Coming back to sound, when you first put these headphones there is a eureka sense that you get if you have sensitive ears! It's like discovering sound on a whole new level as if everything is clear now and you wonder what everything before these was. So, if you are a person with sensitive hearing who enjoys quality music, or a musician or just a purist, these headphones are superb value for you.
