Sennheiser HD 280 PRO

Smitten by the art of DJing? For starters, here's a pair of headphones that will make you look the part!
Design and comfort, Sound Isolation, Sound Quality
Price
Performance
In the performance department, I would rate the Sennheiser HD 280 PRO as good. They do not prompt to provide some sort of an exclusively produced sound through some proprietary technology, but they sound nice nonetheless.
When we tested the headphones for the reproduction of highs, mids, and lows through our audio test tracks, the results were great; they sounded professional. This is because of the raw sound being reproduced from the unit to which the headphones were connected (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum). It delivers what's purely playing from the source; nothing extra from the headphones.
The headphones will not let you be bothered by noise pollution in your vicinity; I say this because these headphones are meant to be clearly audible even when a person is using them standing between towers of speakers blasting on either side. This means, they are pretty loud, and also provide the least possible distortion. However, really demanding bass can take its toll on them. Through our rigorous tests, they more-or-less survived through some really pounding music.

He he, if you are sonically deaf and would like to spend your money on Sony crap be my guest. These headphones are meant for serious listeners who appreciate music and don't mind spending money for that purpose. And FYI, Wireless headphones are sonic ally much worse than similarly priced wired headphones.

this review is shit.. There is absolutely no information, the author has no idea about what sound quality is and has no sense in what tests to be run.. "Good" in what sense? if being in a noisy place is the problem, then there are noise isloation headphones and earphones.. You don;t need DJ headphones for that.. DJ headphones are for a purpose, that you will never understand.

6000 bucks is still almost 1800 bucks above the US price, but these headphones were close to 12k a little more than a year back. They are recommended by many reviewers to be quite good for the money at their price point for most types of music.
