Review: High quality on a 'budget' - For the average person, this price tag for a set of plastic headphones may seem crazy. For anyone who has owned any Sennheiser product in the past, or even this particular set of headphones, you'll know that for the quality of this set, the price really is amazing. To get any better you'd be spending anywhere above £400, and headphones in the below £50 range will pale miserably in comparison. Build quality is excellent, my last pair lasted 7 years before they finally succumbed to damage (which was completely my fault). Audio quality is fantastic, though it does lack the brain shaking bass that some people will be looking for in particular. If you're looking for a new set of headphones to thoroughly enjoy your music collection, for mixing, or even for gaming, these will not disappoint. One word of warning, the cables that feed into the left ear piece are completely and easily replaceable, as are the pads on the top and ears, but the cable that feeds audio to the right ear is not. This will be the most common point of failure, but it takes considerable effort to damage it. Both earpieces have a large degree of rotation, and extend out to suit your head size. If you have this length set at the maximum and move that right earpiece as far as it will go, both left and right, you will run the risk of damaging this wire far more quickly than usual wear and tear. If you have to fold them up tight for travel, remember not to do so when the ears are at their fully extended distance. If you take care of this headset it will last for a very long time, well past the 2 year warranty. They endured 7 years of car rides, house moves, being dropped, tossed and twisted, but be sure to take care for that right earpiece. Keep that in mind and this set will keep you going through an apocalypse. (This review is for the mk1 version, the mk2 version as I understand it is almost identical besides the difference in foam headpiece. If anything else has changed, so will this review.) Review: Absolute Workhorse - I first bought a pair of these in 2009... I replaced them in 2024 after 15 years of travel, abuse and heavy use (and the old ones still work fine, they're just gross). I use these primarily for tracking acoustic instruments and vocal parts because they have such low amounts of bleed-through, they are also cheap enough to not worry about getting dropped or damaged, however they are so well made that's not an issue. There are some changes from the originals, but that's all in the foam, the sound signature is very true to my old ones. ## Features - High ambient noise attenuation - Accurate, linear sound reproduction - Soft earpads for a comfortable fit - Folding and rotating earcups for space-saving transport - Tough, single-sided cable ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IT0IHOY | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Critical Listening, DJ Monitoring, Recording | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | 20,137 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 128 in Studio Headphones | | Box Contents | 1 pair of HD 280 PRO headphones, 1 screw-type adaptor to 1/4 | | Brand Name | Sennheiser | | Cable Features | Fixed | | Cable Length | 9.8 Inches | | Carrying Case Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Tablets | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Noise Control | | Controller Type | Wired | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (8,154) | | Earpiece Shape | Rounded Tip | | Enclosure Material | Faux Leather | | Frequency Range | 8 Hz - 25 kHz | | Frequency Response | 25000 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00615104271210 | | Headphone Form Factor | Over Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | On Ear | | Impedance | 64 Ohms | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Type Name | HD 280 Pro Headphones | | Item Weight | 285 Grams | | Manufacturer | Sennheiser | | Model Name | HD 280 Pro | | Model Number | 506845 | | Network Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Noise Control | Sound Isolation | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Universal | | Series Number | 506845 | | Specific Uses For Product | Home, Professional | | Style Name | New Model | | Theme | Audio | | UPC | 615104271210 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology Type | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sennheiser - **Colour:** Black - **Connectivity technology:** Wired - **Ear placement:** On Ear - **Form factor:** Over Ear - **Frequency response:** 25000 Hz - **Headphone jack:** 3.5 mm Jack - **Impedance:** 64 Ohms - **Model name:** HD 280 Pro - **Noise control:** Sound Isolation ## Images ![Sennheiser Professional HD 280 PRO Over-Ear Monitoring Headphones - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+XjHbWrZL.jpg) ![Sennheiser Professional HD 280 PRO Over-Ear Monitoring Headphones - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41lvhXQUN5L.jpg) ![Sennheiser Professional HD 280 PRO Over-Ear Monitoring Headphones - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31vaoiMYg7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the internal size of each of the earpads** A: Approximately 47mm wide by 66mm height. - Ian **Q: Is the one, main, cable on this replaceable or not ?** A: I have used about 5 of HD280 pairs over last ten years (ver 1 & 2) as a pro' video editor - NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A LEAD!

Extremely comfortable and lovely detailed sound quality. Cable length was adequate but if using away from the hifi amp you may need to purchase an extension like i did. Would recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Headphone, Black - Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface for Guitarists, Vocalists, Podcasters or Producers to record and playback studio quality sound - VCE 6.35mm (1/4 inch) Male to 3.5mm (1/8 inch) Female Stereo Audio Jack Adapter for Aux Cable, Guitar Amplifier, Headphone, 2 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/70648683-sennheiser-professional-hd-280-pro-over-ear-monitoring-headphones](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/70648683-sennheiser-professional-hd-280-pro-over-ear-monitoring-headphones) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
