**Update** Sennheiser HD-280 PRO... the next day.
I ran them overnight again with my Denon receiver at a medium high volume again. The night before I ran them at the same volume with a drum 'n bass CD, and last night I ran them on System of a Down's Steal This Album!. The first night didn't really accomplish much, as they still sounded shrill with poor bass and very poor midrange. Today though, I was very happily surprised to awaken to what sounded like a completely different headphone. The bass is more potent and the midrange is muuuuuch better. The bass isn't as prominent as my Grado SR-225's but I expected them not to be. However, the bass goes noticeably lower than my 225's, and we're talking bass you can feel here. They still have a flat, unforgiving frequency response that is definitely beginning to grow on me. I'm gonna run them all night again tonight, and I'll update you all tomorrow if there is anything significant to report.
