The HD280 pro headphones are full-sized, sealed headphones, that are light-weight, comfortable to wear, and with excellent sound quality. Because of their closed back-design, these headphones reduce outside noise, making them excellent for listening in noisy environments, either on stage, mass transit, or behind the wheels of steel. These headphones are tight fitting, extremely comfortable, and fully adjustable. Less
The powerful MX 550 earphones feature Sennheiser's innovative "Basswind" system, a symmetrical cable and an ultra-lightweight volume control.
