Bought a pair of Sennheiser HD-280 Pro headphones today.
Holy shit, for the cost, these things are SEX. Despite the fact I had (what I thought, at least) were a half reasonable set of headphones before, listening to stuff like Autechre on these is an entirely different experience altogether - I'm hearing stuff that I honestly didn't notice before.
I know others here have recommended these (or simular) in the past; man, I'll recommend them allright.
I've only used one pair of headphones I'd say were better, but they were stupidly more expensive (and I didn't own them), so go figure. :-)

i'm a big fan of the standard sony 90 dollar jobs, i've had mine for almost 10 years now and they're still kicking (the bass rattles a little bit) i got a pair of sennheisers, they were like 60, and i listen to those a lot but they're open-air and very bright sounding, and they dont seem to go up very loud.

yeah, these are closed, circumaural monitoring headphones, which is great; blocks outside noise. they sound awesome even when they're down low.
i bought a pair of US60 sennheisers once, and wasn't that impressed, to be honest. i liked my sony's much better.

damn those look really comfortable, bet they sound amazing too. I have a pair of Stanton headphones, and I really like the way they sound, but I've only had 'em for a few years and they are already starting to fall apart. When I'm looking to upgrade, I'll definately consider the HD-280.

I recently bought a pair of Sony MDR-7506 which are ace, though they are a little bit harsh in the treble but the bass is perfect.

MDR lol that's pure shit, sorry dude nothing against ya. The series by Sony is the laughing stock of the entire headphone audiophile community.
Should have spent your money on better entry-level headphones like Koss PortaPros.

My father uses this pair. If you ever go to buy headphones again, I recommend trying some open cans. The 280 are good, but closed. Open allows for the sound to be airy and crystal clear.

B.S. I've had my MDR V600's for 7+ years and they still give me excellent performance. Best headphones i've ever had.

Hehe, no.
-I've been mulling over getting either the Sennheiser HD-600's or Beyerdynamic DT-880's and I can't find anywhere around here to listen to them before buying.
DT 880 semi-open

yeah, i actually prefer these closed ones (normally i prefer open); i find it takes your ears a few minutes to adjust to them but they sound damn good after that.
given they're travel headphones too, they're going to be brilliant for listening in the plane or whatnot (apart from looking like a total geek, but hey) - i can have the thing quite loud and barely any noise leaks out, or leaks in.
i've had my eye on a couple of the more expensive open sennheisers for a while now, which i'm sure would sound even more awesome... but yeah, they're like, many times the price :-)

until i can afford something better, i'm using sennheiser HD477 (50 euros) which, to me, are really comfortable and have nice sound.
this HD280 is on my wishlist now.
