Let me tell you what I like about my Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones. Firstly before we do that I just want to mention a few things first about these headphones. Some people don't realise that when you buy the HD 280 pro's you need to run them in for a while to get the best sound out of the phones. So use them regularly and after a week you will already notice a great improvement and that is when you will be really impressed with the quality.
Anyway with that out of the way, let me continue about what I like most regarding the phones. In no particular order.
1. The Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones ear pieces fold up which helps plenty when taking them with on your travels. I fly quite a bit and take these with me and sure you wont get them into your jacket pocket like you can with in-ear headphones but this feature does help quite a bit for carting them around as it makes them more compact.
2. I look after my headphones quite carefully. Well as careful as possible but they have been stood upon, sat on (by mistake) etc.. etc.. during my travels and I must say that these are quite durable and solid in design. Don't let the plastic design fool you into thinking that they won't last. They are quite tough.
3. Adding to point number 2. They have easily replaceable parts that are easy to source. This alone is a real plus point as you don't want to have to buy a new pair just because a small part is needed.
4. On my travels in buses or planes etc... they really do block out the surrounding noise quite nicely. I wont bore you with stats but they do reduce external noise by 32db. A pal of mine that does some sound work bought a pair and he get's plenty of mileage out of them and says that in his environment it helps as well in reducing the exterior noise.
5. The quality of the sound output of the Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones is really great. I listen to various genres of music and the sound output is crystal clear. As mentioned in the beginning paragraph you do need to run them in for a bit but after this period is over you will have many years of excellent audio output.
6. They fit over the ear. Okay I know some will debate this point and everyone has his or her own preference of what they prefer in-ear or over ear but for me the in-ear option does not work because after an hour or so being in my ear my ear starts to hurt. Maybe I just have not found a decent pair yet but I do prefer the over ear option especially for blocking out the noise.
7. Last but not least they are compatible with my iPod and I believe any mp3 player or audio device that takes the same jack the HD 280 pro's will work as well.
So to summarise the Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones have a really robust construction and excellent sound quality. The unique design of these headphones with its swiveling ear cups and ability to fold up makes it very convenient as well as the ability to easily interchange a broken part on the headphones.
