Ideal for home or studio
By James B. Spink
Sennheiser's HD 280 model headphones come in three variants - the Pro, the Silver and the 13. The HD 280-Pro is the original design and is uniform in colour and has 64 Ohm impedance. The Silver is technically identical to the Pro but has a plastic silver-coloured back-plate on each phone. The HD 280-13 looks identical to the Pro but has 300 Ohm impedance for connecting to higher output devices.The HD 280s are professional monitor quality headphones which are ideal for critical monitoring applications in the studio but can also give astounding results when used with home audio equipment. They fit tight to the head to give a 32 dB attenuation of external noise which is better at higher than lower frequencies. They are a closed-back circumaural design, with a single, coiled (1m to 3m max) cable which enters the left side phone. They have a 3.5mm plug and Sennheiser provide a screw-on adaptor to 1/4".I have the HD 280-Silver model and they have been my main HiFi phones for a couple of years; they also work surprisingly well with portable audio, although not really a portable headphone design! They need a long burn-in from new to achieve their best sound - I gave mine a couple of days and the sonic improvement was dramatic.These phones will not improve the sound of any of your equipment and may make some sources sound worse. What they will do is give an accurate interpretation of whatever goes into them - and if used with a good HiFi source you will hear detail and depth you may have missed before. The old saying - rubbish in, rubbish out - is very true with these phones - they are true monitors and that is what they are designed to be.The HD 280s are not the most comfortable phones to wear, the pressure required to achieve the acoustic isolation is quite noticeable; but they are quite light for their size and you do get used to them after a while. If you decide to buy these they will probably be the best phones you have ever owned.Highly recommended for the purpose for which they were intended.
