I just added a pair of Sennheiser HD-280 PRO's to my headphone roster. So far I must say that I am not happy with them at all. These things DEFINITELY NEED an amp. They sound like ass off an iPod, and not too much better off an amp. Their frequency response is mesa flat, so most ears will find these really boring sounding. I let mine play all night hoping they would break in some. They did a bit, but they still have very little bass and terrible midrange. I'm really hoping these things open up and become less like a flaming pile of shit and more like a damn professional grade headphone.
*and don't anyone chip in and say that they are a pro monitoring headphone and they are supposed to be flat like that.... I know they are, but they just don't sound right at this point.
