Amazon.com Product Description
The HD-280 Pro is a closed-back, circumaural headphone designed for professional-quality monitoring. Its exceptional attenuation of environmental noise (up to 32 dB) makes it particularly useful for use in high-noise environments, in outside broadcasts, and for DJs. Featuring rugged design and optimum sensitivity, the HD-280 Pro will deliver detailed and natural reproduction of music and speech with a wide frequency response of 8 to 25,000 Hz (-10 dB). Owing to its collapsible ear-pieces, the HD-280 Pro is highly compact when it comes to transportation. And all parts that are subject to wear and tear--such as earpads, headband padding, and the audio cord--are easily replaceable, ensuring long life. The headphone's 9-foot cord is detachable, so if it wears out you have only to replace the cord, not the headphone itself. The cord is made of oxygen-free copper for pure, long-lasting audio transmission.

 these headphones deliver! October 2, 2008
K. Patel (New Jersey)
simply awesome...used to listen to music with my ipod earbuds before this, and now i won't (or can't) go back! a whole new experience is to be had with these headphones!
 addressing reviewers' concerns - great value headphones October 1, 2008
alcigar (Australia)
Having owned Pioneer flagship model headphones(open air design) from mid '80's and the Sennheiser HDR 65 wireless headphones (open design)(both of which I still use and work as in perfect condition), and pump out great 'pure', true to audio source sound, I thought I would try a closed design for my Yepp and ipod nano (especially for noisy environments).
Though subjectively these do not sound quite as good as my old Pioneer phones (and my other Sennheisers), the HDR 280s are great sound for the price (but only if you but them from the US. I'm from Australia, and Sennheiser distributors here are charging nearly $400 AUD (about $320 USD) for the same model (a rip off). I got these for $89 USD (without delivery) from Electronica Direct on Amazon marketplace.
Addressing some concerns in reviews - yes I wear glasses, but you can comfortably wear glasses with the HDR 280's with no problems (a little sound leakage at worst). I have a 'big head' (60cm) but the phones fit well and are not too tight - I can wear them all day quite comfortably. I have owned these for a month, and yes they sound better with more use, and I have no issues with cracking/breaking etc. As far as the 30Db noise cancelling claims - what consumer measures that? - it greatly reduces external noise, maybe not quite 30Db, but I can't hear people speak to me even when listening to moderate levels of volume - so pretty good noise filtering properties.
In a nutshell, while the HDR 280's are quite heavy but not uncomfortable(and arguably not the best looking headphones for wearing in public, as well as being made from plastic giving them a cheapy look and feel (and may therefore not be the most durable if you don't look after them - but hey - my HDR 65's are made from plastic and velour and they've lasted me many years, and still in good nick), they are nevertheless a good to great instrument of reflecting true sound (though marginally not as good as open air design) from your audio source (unlike Sony's distorted high bass/treble response with no mid-range) (and let's be fairdinkum - that's what most people really want)and great value sound if you pay a reasonable price. Makes great sound from nano 3G and itouch, and Samsung Yepp, and computer.
Regards.
 My Take on the HD-280 September 26, 2008

I've had the HD-280's for about a year now.
I will get straight to the point.
Pros:
`one of the best sub 100 closed headphones out there
`decent treble and punchy bass
`dynamic frequency spectrum
`clear highs
`great for sound monitoring
`noise isolation about 10dbs
`user replaceable parts
Cons:
`plastic headband might start cracking after heavy usage
`big and heavy, not too portable
`these phones are not musical
`music sounds tinned out at some high frequency levels
`sound stage could be better
`some might like it, but coil wires get really annoying
`coil wires create uneven weight that pulls down the left side
`personally, I find the design of the headphones hideous, worse when it is actually on your head.
For reference I own a HD-555, DT-880, ER6i, and Grados SR-80
Fantastic headphones. September 24, 2008
ceffalo
Ok, I don't really know much about headphones. But, I do know when I am pleased to hear music, and when I am not. I've been listening to metal music for the past hour and I must say that these headphones seem to capture so much detail in the music. I have polkaudio stereo speakers and by comparison these headphones sound so much crisper. That's really saying something because I never expected $100 headphones to outperform a pair of $200 speaker towers. Yet, they do just that. The range of sound is incredible. Strong bass, good mid range, and decent highs. Not perfect by any stretch, but for the price I am well pleased.
Note: If you are going to buy these headphones I recommend that you buy them directly from amazon.com.
Sounds Great, Not So Good For Portable Music September 20, 2008
C. Publiski (Yosemite, CA USA)
First, others have written that these cans are tight on their head. Well, not so for me. Perhaps they have not given their cans a chance to break in.
Second, the quality of the sound is great. I've never had the chance to listen to professional grade cans, so I can not compare the quality to them. However, as I do appreciate music, I've been satisfied with the HD-280's sound. Please note, if you are intending on using these mainly for portable devices, you might want to consider something with a smaller driver, as it is very noticable that my HD-280's are underpowered by my ipod.
