The HD280 pro headphones are full-sized, sealed headphones, that are light-weight, comfortable to wear, and with excellent sound quality. Because of their closed back-design, these headphones reduce outside noise, making them excellent for listening in noisy environments, either on stage, mass transit, or behind the wheels of steel. These headphones are tight fitting, extremely comfortable, and fully adjustable. Less

The ER-4 MicroPro(tm) earphones from Etymotic are the next best thing to live music, with noise isolation far surpassing that of active-noise-reduction earphones. The ER-4's require no batteries, and can be plugged into any audio source. Their 20-25 dB of external noise exclusion allows you to hear the full dynamic range of recordings without having to play them at unnaturally high and unsafe levels. 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,...

The Purchase

I had been looking for some new headphones to replace my Sony MDR-D22s. The Sonys sounded fine, but they were too big for me to carry around with my mp3 CD player. The Sonys were also semi-open, meaning that some sound leaked in from outside, and some of my music leaked out... Read full review »

B is for bright!

byTodd Nov 16, 2000
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great with binaural recordings
Cons very limited use, bright with stereo recordings
Recommended it? Yes

The Etymotic ER4B is the most specialized of Etymotics 3 ear phones. Designed to work with binaural recordings, their equalization circuit compensates for the rolled off high frequencies lost due to the binaural process. These recordings use a dummy head with microphones in the ears to record the... Read full review »
