    Customers like the sound quality of the headphones. They mention that it has clear sound, it's loud, and it strives to reproduce audio as faithfully as possible. They are able to drive high-frequency sounds and pull out details lost by other headphones. The shell noise reduction is unbelievable, resulting in a more enjoyable listening experience.

    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

    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

    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

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

    "...Overall build is quite solid and it is great to know that if anything would fail on it that Sennheiser sells parts for their headphones...." 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.
