Mike.......I was surprised to see the Sennheiser HD280 Pro unboxing, only because you have purchased much more expensive headphones.

I have six pairs of the Sennheiser HD280 Pros headphones, all in black. I use them in the recording studio and control room. I feed playback through a six channel headphone amplifier to balanced 1/4" TRS jacks in the walls around the studio. Their isolation is excellent, and can be used by a vocalist with an open microphone with zero feedback issues during recording and sync tracking. I also use a pair at the digital workstation in the control room, and I keep a pair plugged into my Roland Fantom X6 keyboards to wear during practice.

I like the Sennheiser HD280 Pro a lot. The are rugged, so they stand up to being used and abused by those who are not as careful as I am with equipment, they isolate outside sound well, and the sound very good. My HD280 Pro headphones have been in use for over four years without a failure, or any part of them breaking or becoming worn. These are good headphones that stand up under use.

If you look close you'll see one pair of HD280 Pro's hanging on the boom mic stand right avout the music stand in this photo from the studio.

I bought them because I heard a pair at MacWorld last year and liked it. I understand that the silver is new to the model, but I like black better. I plan to compare it to the legendary Sony MDR-V6 to see which is king. Should be fun.
