Live Sound Monitoring Setup

It is very easy to setup,and when you are live the sound is great.

I use the HD280 for live sound monitoring, recording and general music listening. They have replaced my old pair of HD202's.

Affordable and good quality kit - - very much enjoying these headphones for monitoring live sound and mixing at home. Sound volume is a little bit lower than some others I have used, but the quality is very good.

Exactly what I needed for live music monitoring

I love these headphones! very good for sound monitoring!

I use this for video editing and monitoring sound on location.

The Sennheiser HD280 is ideal for monitoring and editing your audio and video recordings and live performances. They have good enough outside noise rejection to be usable in live situations and are extremely critical of the input. Don't confuse these with nice polite hi-fi headphones for enjoyment - they are not. They will give you the unvarnished truth about your audio whether you like it or not. However ... (and this is big one) ... once your audio sounds good on these cans it will sound awesome everywhere else! I highly recommend getting this kit if only for the ear pads. They are a breeze to fit and are way more comfortable (and less sweaty) for extended monitoring than the PU ones that come as standard. The case is a nice add on and has space for the coiled cable (which I could do without to be honest). I like that you can flip an ear piece over so that someone else can listen beside you and also that they fold up to take up (slightly) less space. I initially thought that the headband was a little too tight but after a 10 hour editing session today I've changed my mind and decided that it's actually OK.

I purchased this unit to use at our house of worship as a live feed controller for our monitoring systems...it is simple, easy to use, and works great for this purpose.

using this for field recording and sound monitoring. Can't go wrong with this purchase!
