"OK, depending on your needs"
3.5 starson by martinn--2008Pros: Excellent isolation
Cons: Lack of sound definition and light on bass
Summary: The best thing about these phones is the isolation (I believe they say 32 db). This is both coming and going - it keeps the headphone sound in and the outside sound out. This is great, for example, in our small studio when recording exposed vocals.
But the sound reproduction itself is only good. Bass is suprisingly weak; mids and highs lack clarity. Sony's MDR-7506 is our reference point for $100 headphones. The Sony's don't have any bass either (and don't give nearly the isolation). But the 7506's are noticibly crisper on mids and highs - a much more plesant listen if you don't need the isolation.

I can't agree more...I got HD280 pro with high hopes, but as said in the review, no bass! no definition! just good isolation (WTH?!) and also it takes long time for burn in, and also when u connect to a weak source, the headphone is even more poor...I never tried with headphone amp, probably that might take this headphones to greater level !
