A Monitoring Classic, Perfected
Designed for professional use, the HD 280 Pro follows the lineage of reference headphones and retains the appreciated compactness of the "Silver" model, while gaining robustness and comfort. The new headband improves fit during long sessions, while the maintenance-oriented design extends lifespan: most parts are easily replaceable for a sustainable investment.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
This model is aimed at sound engineers, musicians, and DJs who demand precise listening and effective isolation. In the recording booth, it limits microphone bleed; in DJ booths or outdoor reporting, its 32 dB isolation protects against noisy environments. With an impedance of 64 Ohm and an SPL of 102 dB, it interfaces effortlessly with audio interfaces, DJ controllers, and portable recorders.
Design and Performance for Reference Listening
Designed for monitoring, the HD 280 Pro combines dynamic transducers with a closed architecture for controlled reproduction and low leakage, ideal for recording. Its frequency response of 8-25,000 Hz ensures extended listening, useful for tuning the spectrum extremes and judging transients. The foldable/swivel ergonomics facilitate one-ear listening and storage in a bag, while the coiled cable extending from 1 to 3 m offers freedom of movement without pulling on connectors. The lightweight feel and new headband reduce fatigue during long sessions.

exceptional headphones, incredible sound, I have been using them to work for almost 10 years now, I changed the windscreens once and repaired the cable once, it works like a charm. Many neophytes complain about the fact that headphones crush the ears, this is the principle at Sennheiser and its exceptional passive noise reductions that work thanks to the materials and precisely to the fact that the headphones soundproof by pressing them around the ears. the hd25 for its part will be even louder to work on monitoring and tightens in the same way.

Very good closed-back headphones, used for my voice recordings. It insulates perfectly.
However I find the sound a bit like\ "ringing in a box\”. I could not try other models of closed helmets to compare. Maybe it's just a personal appreciation.
Otherwise it is very good.Automatically translated

Tightens a bit too much and keeps it hot, so I'm worried about how long the foams will last.
Basses that seem to lag behind in the spatiality of the sound.
The length of the non-extendable cable at the headphone outlet is a bit too short, so you can bear the weight of the cable (spring part).
Good helmet though.Automatically translated
