For 40 years my primary over the ear headphones have been my Koss Pro 4AAs. They are now showing their age. My sadness at needing to replace them was replaced with happiness when I listened to these Sennheiser's. They sound better than my Koss at the mid and high ranges and are equal in the bass, Koss' strong point. They are also lighter. They deserve the high reviews they have been receiving

These headphones are $100-120 retail and at that price the quality is excellent. I have owned two pairs of this model because for the price you can’t beat the quality. Any complaints about lyrics not being able to be heard probably had more to do with the mixing and mastering of the particular song. If you are not willing to go all out on your spending when it comes to your studio/headphones or you are on a budget yet still want a product that performs well the 280 HD Pros are a great choice.

I have high quality B&W 803 monitors. Most headphones have boosted lows and highs in comparison. The Sennheiser 280 Pro has a neutral tonal balance and excellent detail. They are clean enough to do an initial mix down prior to mastering on high quality speakers. If you love excessive bass and sizzling highs, look elsewhere.

Excellent sound quality. Also, has good sound isolation, which makes it great for noisy environments.

I hoped for better sound quality like other reviews said it had. Some sounds are quieter than they should be while others are louder than they should be. And the lyrics in several songs are drowned out.
