Hi Ray,

I have a pair of HD 280 Pros and I love them - very comfortable, good audio
quality and excellent isolation from surrounding noise.

They mainly get used for listening at home or when recording from the car
however - most of the time I use cheap lightweight ones when out in the
field, either Sony MDR-W08 or Sennheiser PMX 60 - they're much easier to
carry and work well enough to set levels and monitor the position of sound
sources in the stereo field.

All the best,

Tom
