I'm baffled to read this, I have been using Sennheiser HD 280 Pro
headphones in a field semi-portable set up in an RV trailer for several
years. The get knocked on the floor, jumped on and dragged about by a 70
Lb Black Labrador when she tangles her rope in the cord, and they
survive this abuse with no sign of breakage.   This is the very first
time I have heard of anyone breaking the SD 280 headphones so I'm
wondering what is diffrent about my set that they survive extreme abuse
with no problems.

Is there an SD 280 Pro vs an SD 280 as  a standard model?   I ask as the
set I have look like they'd take a deliberate abusive action to break them.

Are we talking about the same headphones?
