The HD280 is decent, but IMO there are much better options. I'd recommend the AKG K81DJ for closed cans, it's an incredible value (priced between $55-$70). If open/closed is not an issue, I'd say go for the Sennheiser HD555

I listened to almost all the pro headphones out there before making a choice & ended up buying the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro..Really happy with these headphones, excellent frequency response & plus they had a better low end then all the one's i listened to, including AKG's, sennhiesers etc..

HD280 is okay, but there are better ones in that price range from other manufacturers like AKG (K81 is not bad, K240D/DF is better if you can squeeze a little more cash).

When you get up to the HD600 or higher, Senn's quality can't be beat. Those are a lot more expensive though - in the lower price range I'd say don't limit your options to Senn.

Mind you, these are all for production... are you looking for DJ headphones?

" in the 100 USD range, for production only.. "

I'd say that gives it away....
