Hey musicians! Great to hear the positive feedback about these headphones. I own 4 pair for my studio. So great to use for so many applications. They really do hold true when mixing.

The fidelity is awesome for listening to any genre of music. I'm a drum instructor, All of my students love them. I use in ear monitors when playing drums, however these are great for drumming too, as long as you have a quality headphone amp. The HD 280 Pros want power running through them. They sound fantastic listening to music with your I pod. I've tried and owned just about everything out there. Headphones costing 3 to 4 times more than these. The HD 280 Pro's are something special. Enjoy! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Andrew Malloy
My HD280Pro headphones have survived it all: Being dropped on a bar room floor during live shows, everyday studio use, surviving the rigors of field recording, and one really angry drummer. They still sound great after six years of use and abuse!
