Over-ear Headphones Put Earbuds to Shame

Earbuds are great for listening to your iPod on the subway, but for at home listening you probably want some phones that’ll give you better sound quality. Sure, they’ll mess your hair up and make you look like a dork, but getting accurate sound placement while you’re listening to Rush you don’t want to mess around.

These Sennheiser HD 280 Professional Headphones sound great, and they’re designed to sound excellent in a noisy environment, such as anywhere in Manhattan. They’re designed for pros, which means that an amateur music-loving schlub like yourself should be all set with them. The comfortable over-ear design will fill your head with amazing sound reproduction, not leaving out a single bit of whatever recording you’re listening to. And hey, you know what? They don’t look too bad. Sure, they’re kind of conspicuous, but why not let everyone on the R train know that you’re serious about your music and aren’t afraid to show it. They’ll be impressed, I swear.

Promotional products are one of the most effective means of saturating your target market with a message that will stay with them for a long period. Your promotional products and corporate gifts, such as promotional mugs for instance, should bear a message that is clear, concise and gripping.

I have two pairs of these at work where i do small time video and audio production at a medical school. When i first got them they felt a lot different from my old sony studio monitors i had been rockin since the 10th grade and i thought i wouldnt get used to it. I picked these headphones by name and specs. Over time i dont know if my head got softer or the phones got softer but they are pretty darn comfy and provide a great listening experience. i'm actually back at jrmusic.com to pick up a pair for my cousin who is starting out in the music industry.

I forgot to mention comfort. True confession: I really came to Sennheiser by simply trying on a bunch of headphones at J&R. And they were the only ones that felt great on my head/ears. It was a tactile choice. It was only after that, I realized they had pretty darn good specs (yes, those matter to me too).

I love these - they make even an ipod sound better! And I really don't care how they look on the plane, or in the park. Because I'm a happy listener.

Mine are all taped up, which leads me to this question: does my extreme addiction to Sennheisers mean that I have to replace them more often? Or are they delicately built? Either way I've been through a few pairs of wireless, and since I've carried/traveled with my HD 280 pros, they've cracked apart (plastic parts, why it's taped).

So generally the pattern is this: I start with crazy glue (on the cordless models, eventually the little plastic piece holding headstrip to earphone tends to crack), or electrical tape (on corded HD 280 pro), and then after my temporary fix wears out, I get new ones.

I'm not complaining. Because even if they are more delicate (and I suspect it's more due to my daily use perhaps), I keep on buying Sennheisers every couple of years. For the comfort and the sound quality. And thanks to J&R for always having good stock/supply and great prices! (um, thanks for not bothering with specs in a blog, because I think specs should be reserved for product spec sheets at the manufacturer's site and the shopping site of course. perhaps you could link the blog to the product page? oh - seems you did that already. cool.)

What is wrong with you people? List the specs or stop wasting my time. Ad copy is nice for Alice in Wonderland, but not when you want me to put my disposable income in your hands. The facts, please? Freq. response, curves, cord length, weight, impedance, signal-to-noise ratio, magnet composition, etc. Seeing no discussion of this, I guess these are crap and you're covering it with cutesy fluff.
