These headphones are tight fitting, extremely comfortable, and fully adjustable. Less

Sennheiser HD280Pro: A Dollar-for-Dollar Headphone Champ?

bysymbiosis Jun 8, 2006
83 Helpfuls 84 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent sound quality, construction, and comfort. Price. Noise blocking.
Cons Slightly quirky appearance, ear cups can get a bit warm with extended use.
Recommended it? Yes

Over the past few years, I have tried out (and reviewed) many sets of headphones from many different manufacturers. I have also tried a wire variety of styles and price ranges, from the $20 terrible sounding glorified earplug that is the Koss Spark Plug, all the way up to the large, over-the-ear,...

if isolation and clarity are important

byoyster07 Oct 12, 2007
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Quite exceptional sound quality and great comfort & isolation.
Cons Closed design limits realism of the soundstage a bit but it is a tradeoff.
Recommended it? Yes

I auditioned many different sets of headphones, my criteria were ISOLATION(ie. for using where there is a lot of ambient noise to block out such as on a plane, or also where you don't want the sound bleeding out of the phones to bother other people nearby) and CLARITY (obviously wanted the best...

byautigers1101 Feb 29, 2012
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros bass response and sound accuracy, price
Cons uncomfortable over time, cord too long for extreme portability, cord not removable
Recommended it? Yes

The Audio Technica M50s are a great addition to a music lover's life. I purchased these headphones as a college student needing a quality pair of headphones that would provide great audio and an acceptable amount of isolation. These headphones fit the bill perfectly. After hours and hours of... Read full review »
