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,...

Pros good sound for price, comfortable
Cons minor distortion on treble at high volume
Recommended it? Yes

With my day job office remodeling in favor of a more open environment, my ability to listen to a low volume shelf system was gone.

The Sony MDRG42LP Headphones--A Walkman Classic But Are They The Best?

byspongebag7 Jun 13, 2006
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Nice, rich bass, lightweight, long cord, good looks, portable, durable
Cons Slightly uncomfortable, high end is a little muffled, beaks fast
Recommended it? No

After getting fed up with the speaker cord crawling out on both side of the speaker on my HS520 pair, and becoming extremely uncomfortable, I decided to ditch that pair for a different set.
