HD280 is the best bang for the buck. I've bought 5 pairs now for other people!

Could not agree more. No-frills styling (i.e. kinda fug but durable plastic), extremely comfortable for long periods of time, over-ear doesn't leak a lot of sound into your surroundings, nice low-end punch, and otherwise flat enough for basic multitrack mixing work.

While I agree on all of the other points, they are most definitely not extremely comfortable. Especially if you have a larger head, you'll feel like your skull is in a clamp quite fast.

Other than that (and the headband cracking) those are one of the best headphones I've ever had.

I've had my pair for a couple years and love them.

BUT, they were poorly tested. Both sides have broken where they slide out of the headpiece to extend.

Spent $5 at home depot and with a bit of drilling they are now reinforced and back together.
