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

Joggers, snowboarders, and other outdoor enthusiasts will delight in the Sony MDR-J20 headphones, as their contoured clips follow the curve of the ears to ensure a snug fit even when bouncing around. The headphones also feature a flexible ear hanger that reduces stress on the ear, along with an open-air design that lets in ambient sound without sacrificing the quality of the music. The latter function is particularly important when skateboarding or running, as users can listen for traffic noise and other audible threats. It's the audio, however, that matters to most listeners, and the MDR-J20 headphones deliver on that count, too. Each earpiece carries a powerful neodymium magnet that provides great sound at frequencies between 18 Hz and 22 kHz. Don't give in to poorly designed, bulky headphones that slow you down while exercising. The MDR-J20s, which weigh a mere 0.35 ounces, are a perfect fit. 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,...

Background
I have used these headphones for almost 2 years now. They are currently plugged into my home PC, where they are used primarily for listening to MP3's and playing games.

Works Fine - Good Sound - They Stay On While Active

byraptorbill Aug 17, 2008

Pros Inexpensive Over the Ear Design, reasonably comfortable
Cons Sound is OK, not fantastic
Recommended it? Yes

I've been looking for the ultimate set of headphones while working out for decades. Exercising is boring, so I started with a Walkman (listening to taped audio books) and evolved over the years to my current iPod (listening primarily to Podcasts - mostly from National Public Radio).

Sony MDR-J20 is a unique, problematic headphone

bykc409 Nov 15, 2006
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros no tangle cord! over-ear strap
Cons the sound quality is not constant, not very hard to break
Recommended it? No

I run a little. Jog is a more fitting term for what I do. I'm not one of those authentic joggers either... I run on a treadmill at the gym. I've got an Ipod Mini and I like to make 25 minute track lists while i'm warming up and then do my thing. Anyway... after seeing two magazine ads in one week... Read full review »
