Review: Sennheiser HD 280 PRO Headphones

2011-01-28
hey guys johnathan here with TLD it's been a few weeks since I unbox these Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones I've been a little bit busy with CES and then them but I've gotten a lot of requests to finish up this review so here it is your wish my command as you guys can see they are an over ear design I do prefer that over the on ear they were very comfortable the ear cuffs were very padded they do cover your entire ear including my big Dumbo ears which is a very good thing as far as the design they're just a simple black but they do look nice you got your typical white texture you can see Sennheiser the left/right markers they weigh about seven point eight ounces that's not too heavy at all which is a good thing when you have money head for a long period of time now jumping into the techie specs this has a 64 ohm impedance and for those of you who have no clue about ohms generally the higher the ohms the more output you're going to need to make these sound good the higher the ohms you're probably gonna need a headphone amp but the rule of thumb really like with mp3 players ipods laptops if you're in the 32 maybe to 80 ohm range you'll be cool so if you want to do with your macbook your ipod these headphones will fit the bill just perfectly beyond that they have a frequency range of 8 Hertz to 25 kilohertz so you're gonna get a very nice range of lows mids and highs very well balanced I don't you guys know for a hundred bucks these are probably one of the best sounding set of headphones whether you mixing or just listening to music you can buy it for that price point jump it back into the ear cups a little bit they use neodymium magnets which is going to increase the SPL or sound pressure level for those who guys who don't know so you guys are get all educated and informed here there is 32 decibels of ambient noise reduction so that means if you have the headphones on pretty much up to 35 decibels outside of you is going to get reduced so if your girlfriend your mom's louder than that I don't want to tell you I'm sorry but these do a pretty good job of keeping the sound from the outside blocked so now that you guys have seen all the technical specs these are really good for someone who's mixing monitoring because they are flat response and the idea is what you hear is what's actually being played in the headphone so it's not going to have too much bass where you mix something it sounds good there you go take it to your car and just like what the hell happened because it was off these aren't colored they're flat response so there'd be perfect for mixing or monitoring like I said they also good for someone who does YouTube production as well so if you want to do voiceovers and you want to monitor your voice mix it make sure all the audio is correct these are a great set of headphones but at the same time I want to emphasize they are really excellent for listening to music so like I said they do work great on your mp3 player your iPod your laptop the bass is good the mids are good the trebles are good it's just really well-balanced and it's a great alternative to those of you guys who look at the beats by dre you get spend 200 bucks on a set of headphones these are actually going to blow them away for about half the price like I said music video if you just want to listen to music in general just on your iPod you're someone who enjoys it not really on a technical side these sound great for the hundred hour price point and I would recommend them to anybody so I have seen them as low as $89 on amazon.com I'll post that link down below make sure to check out our latest videos and I'll catch you guys later
