in my opinion, the sony's sound muddy, particularly when you compare them to the sennheisers. you will be glad you bought the hd280's, the sound quality is amazing as is isolation.
as for the cracking thing, yeah it is an issue but if you look after them they don't. i will be the first to admit i strained mine to much, mainly through using them (and letting lots of other people use them) whilst very very twatted. |

still lovin' the cans as for pricing,
I didn't see them on circuit citys web site, or in the store(may have missed them),
best buy has them on their website for $199 USD :eyes:
reading through the headfones sticky thread
www.djmart.com has them for $89
I got mine from www.jr.com for $80 with free shipping (they now want $5 for shipping)
I think I also read about a member who sells them for about $75
and from what I understand these are cheaper in Europe
edit: found a couple better prices thanks to tvmann's post
www.etronics.com $70
www.ecost.com $99 with $10 overnight shipping or free standard shipping
for those is England

DjNumShun, I live in Cambridge I got mine from Pro Audio, they were quite cheap and when I ordered them they came the next day, which is pretty impressive. |
for those in Isreal, but this is 2 years old

Anyway, here is their number: 03-5610663
The main Sennheiser distrabutor is Kilim electronics @ haifa: 04-8672911

Nope. The HD280s are actually more expensive in Europe than in most US stores. Most European resellers charge close to full list price for those 'phones, while most US resellers are selling them for close to Sennheiser USA's minimum advertised price (for the HD280s, that minimum advertised price is half of the MSRP, or $99.95). Strange for Sennheiser, but true. |

| I got my 280s at Guitar Center for $90. The Senns are alot cheaper in America because everyone is hooked on the Sonys. In Europe people know that Sennheiser is much better than Sony so they price shows. |

Guys I've got question. I'm thinking about buying 280's or HD25's. I've heard that HD25's are better than 280's ??????. In my local dealers there aren't HD25's and I don't know when they will be.
Suggestions ?
Thx |

| HDJ1000's SUCK. Don't bother with them. Get the MDR-V6 or the HD-280s |

| i would get the hd 25's over the 280s. The 280s have a tendency to crack under the headband. |

| HD25's blow just about every headphone out the water. |

| be sure not to get the hd25sp. they have the thin plastic rigid headband instead of a proper headband |
