i heard alot of good things about the HD280

i've been using gemini's djx-1 so anything would be an upgrade

is it true that opened or semi-opened are better sounding than closed?

pls, suggest only if you used them and you know how things work...i don't need cans that are super-bassy or spacey sounding, just want to hear the clean sound as it is, same level for all frequences

oh...and sennheisers only cuz are the only ones i can try out before buying, the other good ones (akg, beyerdinamic) should be order online so i can't hear them before buying


thank you

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?
