Sennheiser Professional Audio HD 280 PRO Wired Over Ear Headphones without microphone

After a lot of research & comparisons with Studio Monitoring Headphones in this league, both price wise & functionality wise, between the Audio Technica ATH-M20x or 30x (a popular & formidable product) & the Sony MDR7506 (classic & iconic studio headphones), what finally made the choice for me was a super discounted deal on amazon for these Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones! At 6.5k, they are way more than a steal.First impression, right as you open the box packaging, is of a premium, well built & heavy duty pair of studio headphones. Box contains the headphones, which come with an attached output cord in a 3.5mm Jack with a 6.5mm adapter & a Safety Instruction guide, that’s it . . .No muss, No Fuss!The cord length provided is just perfect for my usage. These headphones are primarily going to be used for Video & Audio editing on a Macbook Pro, for 4K & Dolby Vision content, so the max distance is usually a standard desktop or office table setup, so the cord length is sufficient.Overall, build & touch n feel quality is off the charts, especially considering the price & the other options available in the same price/features segment.As soon as you pick up the headphones, you know you’ve picked up a premium brand.Finally, the sound quality, is by far the best I’ve experienced till date on any “over the ear”headphones, which were bought for personal use. The audio levels are crisp & clean, totally studio quality. The Noise Cancellation feature is highly effective & makes tuning out from the world, when editing a music video, a cakewalk.Despite looking like heavy duty headphones, these are fairly lightweight & haven’t caused any major issues after a few hours of usage. The cup size is nice & large enough to cover an entire average sized ear.The only caveat so far is the shape of the overhead band, which is way too wide, especially on a bald narrow head, so they may look a bit funny, but it is an extremely small nit-picky thing in what is otherwise an exceptionally fantastic piece of audio equipment.Although it is just the first day of use, the purpose & functionality of the headphones has been a 10/10 for the sound quality, on all audio trials & tests so far.Whether you’re looking for a pair of headphones for professional audio recording/mixing/engineering work or just to plug into your home device & hear crisp, clean & balanced sound, these HD280 PROs are absolutely perfect. Extremely impressed & happy with the purchase. Two Thumbs Up!

SOUND:I wanted something of a neutral sounding headphones.And I say that if you're more of a bass lover this might not meet your expectation butThis headphones are very good neutral sounding headphones means every frequency is well balanced. Lows-Mids-TrebleHigh end frequencies are little less compare to other headphones but the sub bass and bass quality is very good.I'm not a fan of more high end frequencies but to some users it might sound less energetic on that area compare to lets say beyerdynamic or audiotechnica headphones.Personally I like high end of this headphones because of the balance and not harsh highs , I can listen to it for a long time.And noise cancellation is also good.COMFORT LEVEL:At first these headphones might be little tight on your head and is the reason for noise cancellation also.The cups are comfortable and will cover your whole ears.The headphones will get comfortable to your liking after some time you can adjust the size with slider above the cups.BUILD QUALITY:At this price range I think the build quality is goodHeadphones are foldable and light.But the wire is non detachable and cable is heavy so I think I have to take care of it and not be reckless about it.So I don't think these headphones are made for walking and listening typeThese are made for sitting in one place and listening type.FINAL VERDICT:I make music and I heard that most of mixing engineers use this to mix their beats so I ordered itI like this headphones because it met my expectations.At first you might not be able to grasp the sound stage of these headphones because you might not used to these type of headphones.Sound quality is good and almost neutral.I am not using these as my headphones for gym and I am not taking it with me when I go outside.It's not like you can't take it outside , the headphones are light weighted but cable is heavy and non detachable that's why.After using it sometime and grasping the sound stage, I can listen in this headphones for hours and pick little details in the songs too.So read this and based on your application you can choose whether to take it or not.Note: I saw the pictures online of this headphones and I found that that were two models.One is old one where on back of the cup of headphones, Sennheiser hd 280 pro 64 ohms is writtenSecond is new model where only HD 280 PRO is writtenSo don't get confused with the images shown when you receive these headphones and don't find Sennheiser 64 ohms written on back of the cups.Cheers!
