    I've had it for 7 months and it is huge. I mix house and return at the quality of sound is huge. more it isolates a-32db to avoid leaving that night with the ear whistling all night.
    The only flaw, a little heavy for my taste

    Overall, I am a bit disappointed with this headphone ... I received qqes days ago, but no need to wait years before finding his qualities and faults:

    It is comfortable to wear, even after several hours, the ears are always, do not exaggerate with his weight, it is not very heavy.
    It insulates well from the outside.
    The thread "corkscrew" to avoid trampling.
    We feel that it is not plastic at Stanton questionable: the quality is!
    It is a little at the sudden it has been said before but I confirm it.

    Its main weakness lies in the bass. Those who mix the hardtek, hardcore, you can choose another one! And if you increase the sound thinking to have more bass, the highs are you destr…

    It is clear, it could really be perfect if the headphone was a little more bass. Otherwise it has a good value but I do not think I will take it with experience.

    So it takes a bit to correct the serious, but not too quickly because it trs excs the opposite. This done, he slams mchament, gaffe ears.
    - I am not Russian put his knees, he saturates some VERY strong in the high volume but that's it. Your ears will shout stop before it lche.
    - As many of the isolates trs collection outdoor, total immersion in a game
    A large hanging around a checkpoint Battlefield 2 carrment becomes enjoyable ... able everywhere, I never had that feeling with HP.

    It sticks exactly what I was looking for.
    A 119 is a good deal trs, incomparable with traditional PC headsets.
    I do not put 10, because the IDAL is a quality headset in a closed HIFF.
    But is this possible?

    With a fully charged in sub zik is fat as hell. But hey, do not mix with .... or so with a great experience. Otherwise, you will have more bass on a hi-fi system or a position ...
    It is very sturdy and pliable, very well for mobile use.

    Although powerful, too, without drooling low (but suddenly they capture well on palm muting to scratch. I find it flattering actually. AKG K240 back to a studio seems to fade after much used to it ... In fact, I think it is good to control the sub from a serious mix (magnifying).

    EDIT: I think the top is a bit Aggressive medium compared to my K240. And it flatters the stereo image so that you end up with a lot of signal in the center, much to the extreme, but in between, it's weird. For cons, I maintain, this headphone is for making drums, and similar applications: its frequency response seems to be designed to hear a "flat and neutral" in noisy conditions (concert, acoustic drums ...). A great product at least not at all fake plastic (made in Ireland hehe)

    Headset useful for recording, especially for drummer or taken with its many musicians in the same cabin, insulates the headphone and this is its main atout.isolement (10/10)

    for the rest, BOF

    The sound is very high deformations (or colored if you prefer) and I much prefer a AKG240 or Sony MDR-7506. the 6 / 10

    it is not very comfortable to wear (7 / 10)

    In short, a headphone only practice to isolate the noise and that's it ... this opinion is only my opinion of course

    Hi all? Well now as I am looking for a new studio headphones (I PROCUP that records voice).

    I am a singer and I have a home studio. I record as straight left.

    So in regard to the hd 280 pro, great for isolation, it is plutt closed.
    It's Premire quality, I think.

    on the other hand, in sound is not the top man for a singer (for a voice fminine, it may be less teachers).
    Finally, topujours is it that when you voice your work areas on the heat, you work in dansles serious and breath, if you want to make the grade, then the ca not help at all.
    I tape the cot technique, I do not work that ear.
    I prfre widely sony, so I'll take a mdr 7506 (even the 7505 is not bad).

    With 280 hd, I hear my voice as I want and I'm blind.
    Although s ^ r, the pb not arise when I am in head voice.

    Another point, I think he cracked a bit when you move (this is also a little coiled cord, but difficult to find a wire normal today). It gives you not the perception of a freedom.
    The spiral, I do not like at all when I make a recording while it plutt practice ct console.
    A good headphone, it helps, what they say.
    Finally, it is true that we would always find good products that are not expensive.

    The report quality price: that's what made me buy the l: 107 euros for a headphone pro gnial!
    That said, I think to purchase a headset for troisime "Night Mix" ... hsitation between Beyer DT77O pro (but the "bass reflex" makes me a little scared about the Fidler reproducing out) and, in the same make, DT990 Pro, which seems more suited the mix ... I think I will also make a small tour of costs from AKG ...
    In fact, the HD280 is very well to record (closed), call, work some sounds ... but mixing is a bit worse ... but in any fawn, it is better to have several Systmes cost of a.
    DEFINITIONS Ct, the HD 280 Pro is well equilibrated plutt but it is a bit lightweight ct low, making it pushes a bit to finally get account when they are too much is the mix Submitted on monitors.
    The acute and mdiums are REPRESENTATIVES ... trsdtailles and even ... and it is enjoyable to hear clearly what you are doing. Too bad the bass do not follow. (I know, I insist , But it's sad vrit!)
    Overall then, the sound ... a will ... this headset allows for a decent job and enough raliste (provided we know where they stand in bass)
    Ct ergonomics ... can do better ...
    The multi directivity of headphones is quite handy in a lot of situations.
    The headphone is closed ... you really push the volume back to you to hear a decision made with a good mic ... insulation is really his strong point!
    The wire is solid (not a cut in six years of use!), The "spring", very practical for not taking a tripping or s'loigner source.
    The minijack (dore gold molded end?) Is provided with a screw-on jack adapter (Contents of the same) .. all as very practical to switch to another type of output ... particularly strong: no more adapters that break after a few uses ... it was worthwhile to report even if it has become commonplace today.

    The ctsngatifs in dtail ...
    1) The weight ... a, it's terrible ... one realizes when used for several hours ... (In components, for example ...) is, for me, the black point of the headphone ... (And I do not look terrible it makes you ... it gives you an air of Jacques Villeret in the cabbage soup! Fortunately, the headphones are not red! ... but hey, it's purely ... Aesthetics)
    2) It is comfortable ... Manir but not exceptional ... especially for use "long life" ...
    3) Ct solidity of the thing ... plastics are of average quality ... APRS two years of use, a plastic covering of the roll bar broke ... nothing serious, but hey, was not fun! It seems that this is a weakness of the headphones: when you turn on the head, you just map the headphones ... and strength ... it finally broke there o plastic is sollicit by "tirements" frquents.

    Conclusion: 107 euros, I do not regret having bought this product made me good service since I bought ... but I think I shall soon buy another for comfort of cost and held. A short tour in Beyer or AKG (K240) ... see ... Lastly, cost! But I do not put the HD 280 Pro so far ... this is a good headphone trs for recording, anyway ... and with a good quality price.
    Rating: 8 / 10 ... pnalis by a weight a little excessive and somewhat random image REPRESENTATIVES bass.
    Voil ... if you want the good stuff not too expensive ... it is a product for you ... But try before you buy ... because what I hear in mine is not what you hear in your ...
    ... and to finish on a positive note, the brand is a guarantee of quality and all the spices can be change ... not need to buy a headphone full ...
    Go ... enjoy it!

    Another good thing, which we never think, is that it moves really well on small heads ... Let me explain, every time I recorded the singers before, I was spinning their headphones that did not over their heads, still too big ... Sennheiser suitable for all the heads ... (I know it sounds silly but it is actually not that much)

    Pan well respected, much less good than the 7509 but frankly much better than elsewhere (Beyer or AKG)

    Otherwise, I do not agree with the previous opinion on a lot of bad things (but it's a matter of taste):

    Weight: no it is not too heavy, and frankly for making taken for days and days, it is very nice, it isolates you completely from the rest of the world's great ...

    The look ... You will have the air con with any headphone on the head for recording ... you really work the headphone to look like the end??

    I find it extremely comfortable (more than 7509 and yet I love more than the 240 I do not like ...)

    The best value possible. I absolutely love these headphones, however I will go and buy another (on e-bay you'll find it at bargain prices ...)

    Final score: 9 / 10 on the overall but 12 in this price range

    I confirm that passive insulation is very good, no music sounds are attenuated, but much less active as well as insulation on the latest BOSE.

    To bounce off some of the comments, the music is faithfully reproduced, the sound is very clear, detailed highs, middles, however the set back from the sound of my HIFI. The bass are very good against contrary to what I read. I do not use a studio, but after listening to Cujo - Adventures in foam (very good first album by Amon Tobin), which makes extensive use of infra low, they are very well reproduced, near a large HIFI quality.

    As an amateur of music (but required) this headphone perfectly meets my expectations:
    1. I am isolated from my colleagues in open space
    2. My colleagues do not understand what I listen to
    3. The music reproduction is faithful
    4. The headset is comfortable
    5. The coiled cable is convenient
    6. The size is right for transport
    7. Value for money good or very good
