praktisch gebaut, warmer Klang, viele Höhen dringen heraus
Ich habe neue Kopfhörer für Live/FOH gesucht. Idealerweise sollte das neue Paar auch zum Abhören bei Aufnahmen verwendet werden, insbesondere bei relativ feinen Signalen bei lautem Abhören (z. B. Stimmen auf Musik).
Meine klangliche Referenz waren HD 650. Der Vergleich ist etwas Äpfel zu Birnen, da HD 650 von offener Bauart sind, aber zu irgendwas muss sich ja relativ eingeordnet werden.
Hier ein paar schnelle Eindrücke zum HD-280: Faltbar und Hörer rotierbar, das ist praktisch. Bass-Hype, wenn auch nicht so breitbandig wie bei DT-770 Pro. Irgendwie aggressive Höhen. Weniger kartonartig als HD-25, gleichzeitig irgendwie stumpf und zu warm (300/400 Hz). Räumlichkeit mittelmäßig. Noch mehr Leckage von Höhen als bei HD-25. Isolation links gefühlt etwas weniger als rechts (vielleicht wegen des Kabeldurchlasses?).

Slightly disappointed
They are honestly good for their use. They tell the truth. But they are not comfortable with glasses…

My Headphones of Choice
For years I've been using the HD-280 Pro, my old pair from 5+ years still works flawlessly but the pads show wear and tear. Note that I use them around 10 to 30 hours per week! Sometimes more!
I thought in simply changing the pads but what I found online was about half the price of getting new ones, so Thomann promptly received my order!
First of all, they are sturdy, well built and will last for years. I use them a lot and move around constantly. Besides the pads, the cable is good as new after so many years and I love the fact that it has a screw adapter to fit 1/4 or 1/8 inches headphone plugs.
In terms of isolation they are very good! I've used them for rehearsals with IEM in a small room and it suppresses a lot of the drums.
Tracking vocals in my home studio is a delight with these headphones, never had any bleed from them going into the mic and they sound great.
Overall, the HD-280 Pro gives a nice listening experience for an extended period, I find them comfortable and not tiring, like some other headphones that often are too bright or too tight.
The frequency curve of these headphones are accentuated on the bass, which usually makes them good for electronic music and DJs, but not limited to, I play rock and metal and love how it sounds with my ampless rigs.
The only disadvantage is that they are not the best for mixing or mastering, still possible but you'll have to know them very well to compensate for the coloration and bass boost.
Otherwise, if you're serious about mixing and mastering, I recommend getting better headphones with flat response or get the Sonarworks Sound ID plugin, the HD-280 Pro are included in their presets and results in much better mixes in my opinion.
My first pair was at that time more expensive and came with a nice Sennheiser bag, not included anymore apparently.
However, I find the HD-280 Pro a "bargain", amazing price/quality from a renowned and reliable brand: Sennheiser.
Sure there may be better headphones on the market, but for my use, these are perfect and certainly will remain for many years my headphones of choice.

Good value for money
I needed a good pair of headphones for my Scarlet 6i6 and I wanted to purchase a solid brand. Sennheiser is an excellent brand for headphones and I think the Sennheiser HD-280 Pro are decent enough but not spectacular.
Outside Noise Isolation: good enough but I still can hear surrounding noises.
Sound: In my humble opinion the sound is not "flat" enough (the low end is boosted a little).
Comfort: I don't like wearing them for long period of time. after few minutes it feels like having my ears closed in a sauna!
Quality: not bad overall

Neutral monitors but heavy non-detachable cable
Detailed monitors, good isolation. Cable is stiff, not detachable, short and heavy. Solid build.

Great headphones with balanced sound
Sound is superb, you might find it lacks a bit of bass, but I guess it's just the nature of well balanced studio headphones. Isolation is not perfect, but rather great considering it's not actively cancelling noise. Gets a bit uncomfortable over time since it's really tightly pusing against your head.
Great sound and great price, recommended.
