[Cant.Touch.This]

Just saw this, thought I'd give a heads up for those that missed it:

SENNHEISER HD 280PRO (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106328)

$74 with $125 savings from $199.99, Enjoy! :)

I've had these for years, and I've really enjoyed them. Got them for $100 I think.

Only thing is, after extended use they tend to make my ears hurt a little. Maybe they are irregularly shaped? :-/

[OnDborder]

I have these too.
They have great sound.

Another happy owner of these headphones here. I use them to mix music and spend hours with these on with no discomfort. Sound quality for ~$100 is exceptional, can't see spending hundreds more on the 'next best' headphones. These outperform my supposedly better AKG headphones which rarely see use now that I have these Sennheisers.

For those that own and mix with it, how are they for dance/electronica? Gaming with surround sound?

The only real reference I have is the audio-technica's I have in my signature.

I would like to know too

[hajalie24]

my brother has these and i have the hd202's and the 280s were much more comfortable but i couldn't notice a difference in sound.

I've done some techno and overall the bass on these kick some major butt. They're just really great headphones all around.

One thing to note is that I ended up getting a preamp for these as the output on my Logitech 5.1 PC speakers just barely drove them, and defintely didn't drive them loud enough for my needs.

Link to your preamp? I'm planning to just plug straight from soundcard to headphones.

I've compared both and your audio-technicas AD700 beat the HD 280 Pro. Especially in electronica and surround sound. The HD280Pro's sacrifice a bit of quality for being closed, and the AT's are especially designed for electronica and a wide sound stage... I've compared them to pretty much all headphones in that price range and the AT's are unmatched in those categories.

For closed cans though this is a great deal, very hard to find better ones at $74 unless used.

Nice phones

[e6600]

ive got these too, they've been at $100 for so long
very comfy, just closed ear leaves ur ears a little weird after like 5 hours

[ratbuddy]

Hmm, something must be wrong with them.. Over 500 Newegg reviews and still 5 stars?

:p

edit: Oh yeah, sanitized link directly to the item for suspicious ******** like me who wonder what all the extra characters in the link mean: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106328

Oh, I didn't realize... sorry for that. I used a link off the e-mail Newegg sent me. I'll use your link to replace mines.

Are there any other headphones you've tried/owned that are comparable AD700's? I agree with you on it being closed cans, I normally prefer open but I only looked at it twice due to price drop.

[EvilCloudStrife]

damn it i wish they had a mic. I really need a headset, not just a set of headphones

[heezer7]

Have um, love um.

Been so long since I bought it... probably easier just to look on google for 'headphone preamp' or 'headphone amp'. Should be about $30 with multiple outputs and individual volume controls for each output.

Any tips or specifications I should look for in an entry level amp? Good to know for future reference if I really 'need' one. Thanks.

I don't really know a heck of a lot about them, this is the first one I've owned. I'm at my desk now and the preamp I'm using is a Rolls HA43 if that helps.

the link works but OOS :(

For those who missed this deal, you might look into the Audio-Techica M50.

Several ebay stores have them for $100 shipped. Better overall build quality (the hd280s are known to have headbands that break)and debatably better sound. (or at least that's what my research turned up). I've got some coming next week.

[shaz]

i have the 280's too
they are nice

gaming with them
and ull forget theres anyone else in the room

music is nice
but i use my bookshelfs more
