Best Sennheiser Mixing Headphones

Not surprisingly, Sennheiser has made a great pair of headphones. I use them for monitoring when recording and mixing, and for general use when listening to music. I love the sound quality and the flat frequency response. They're pretty darn big, which could be good or bad depending on your wants/needs. I don't mind it, and they fold up pretty compactly. Overall a great pair of phones.

I have had these headphones for almost 10 years. In these 10 years, they have been THE BEST headphones I have used for mixing. I have used a bunch of headphones and studio monitors in that time, and nothing has beat them out, not even the infamous Sony 7506 (given, cheaper, but more prevalent headphones in studios) Things to note with these headphones; they are not super low end present. If you are getting these to listen to consumer music, you may not like them because they are not "boomy" or "full". These headphones are for users who are looking for definition and clarity for making a solid mix. The other note is a MINOR complaint; the part of the headset that rests on the top of your head/hair has worn out for me. The muffs also wore out, but I replaced them. If there is a way to replace the foam under the band, please let me know because I would love to have them looking brand new again. I broke the cable that came with the headphones by accidentally vacuuming it about 2 years in (stupid, I know), but the detachable cable saved me some money. Also nice if you want to swap out different size cables. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking to invest in headphones for studio mixing.

I use this model for monitoring and mixing in my studio. These headphones are the best I have ever used and goes right along in the same category as the SM57 microphones. Best sound and amazing price for the performance!

Great headphones for mixing and recording.

Best headphones I own.

I mean, they're great headphones. I'll get them again and again. I use them for location sound mixing.

Best microphone ever. Sennheiser it's something else. Top of the line...

Not my first pair. Awesome headphones. Great for mixing and just general listening.

This is the second pair of Sennheiser HD 280 I owned. This cans are great for mixing any style of music, due to their flat and accurate response. Their -32db attenuation of external sound, possible by its closed design, allows you to use them in live recordings and in noisy environments. Very comfortable on large sessions. I transport them in a tupperware to keep them safe when I'm in rigs, but it will be great if they come with their own travel bag or something.Highly recommended for a low budget setup, and with the expected high quality of this brand. The only con I can find, is that when wearing them, you can be confused with an astronaut, but if you can live with that, there's no other negative side in them.

My Business is Location Audio Mixing. I use Sennheiser 416 short shotgun mics with The Rycote Windshield. This system always delivers 100% of the time. I've used it in Hotel Rooms, Factories and in the Field. I always get perfect audio
