![]() I'm not going to lie to you, these headphones have a crazy amount of clamping force! So unless you have a small-ish head.oh who am I kidding, even if you DO have a small-ish head, you're going to want to break these in. ![]() To some this is unacceptable, however I'm just fine with a thicker, more durable cable that is more resistant to breakage in the first place. ![]() In fact there is a guide in the manual that shows you how to do so. When I say technically not removable, I mean you can't simply pull the audio cable out of the unit like the HD380 Pro. Instead, if you do damage your audio cable, you have to open the ear cup and do some light wiring to replace the audio cable. The audio cable.oh the audio 's pretty much what I had expected with my last purchase. While it's technically not "removable" it's much more substantial, not longer than necessary, and it's coiled so it's much easier to stow away. If you're looking for something pretty or shiny, this a'int it (by the way.a'int a'int a word). The HD280 Pro was designed with function in mind, not fashion. It's a no nonsense design that brings about a feeling of confidence in it's durability. Even if it was on my list, I quite like the look of the HD280 Pro. While some may think Sennheiser headphones are "ugly" or "dull", cosmetics are nowhere even close to being on my list of have-to-have's. The giant curly cable is non-removable for starters, so it's not a good portable headphone, despite the great isolation it gets. This Sennheiser design is ancient, and it lacks many creature comforts that you can get even for $90 now. The nice thing about the older models of Sennheiser is you can probably find an insane deal on a used one somewhere. Highs: reasonably detailed, not sibilant. Good detail, and smooth, but they get too much priority for my taste. Low Mids: This is my biggest issue with these. Upper bass: a crater exists on the frequency curve where this would normally be in a headphone. The mids have strange prioritizations and the bass leaves something to be desired. Lethargic? It's not neutral, if that's what you're thinking. The headband is not shaped to fit human heads, but rather one of the square flat heads that the sentient humanoid robots that make Sennheiser products have, I guess. Unusually, it's not the clamping force on the sides that causes issues, but on top. These are not headphones per se, more like a medieval head torture chamber than plays sound.
