What is a Sennheiser HD 280 pro?

The HD 280 Pro is Sennheiser's most significant closed, around-the-ear headphone to be introduced in years. Designed to exceed the demands of the professional environment, the HD 280 Pro boasts extremely robust construction combined with the sound quality, modular design and aggressive noise isolation that is necessary in the field.

Does the HD 280 Pro have a deep bass?

Some headphone pairs manage to avoid distortion on deep bass by, well, avoiding deep bass itself. But the HD 280 Pro's frequency response starts at the sub-bass realm of 8Hz. Many headphones and earphones don't start until 15 or 20Hz. What's more—you can actually hear the presence of these low frequencies.

Is HD 280 a good earphone?

Because the HD 280 Pro is relatively affordable it lacks some luxuries. The wire on the left ear cup is not removable, but the coiled cable does a lot to alleviate stress on the solder points. You shouldn’t have to replace it unless you straight-up abuse the thing. Is the HD 280 portable?

Does the HD 280 pro bleed a lot?

Sure, but it is very unlikely to happen before your ears start to bleed. Even at very high, unsafe levels, from a variety of sound sources, like a Marantz PM7001 stereo receiver, a Digidesign Digi 003 recording interface, and an iPhone 4S, the HD 280 Pro can handle extremely deep bass without any hints of distorted crackle.
