HD 280 Pro not satisfied Options

[zerowalker]

Okay so i bought the HD280 Pro as i read it was good, with accurate sound and such.
But i am not satisfied with it, the first is the pressure it gives, it´s like i am on the verge of getting a headache, but still not getting one.
Maybe it will disappear through use, maybe not.

But more importantly, the sound.
even my Cheap AKG something, sound better with the bass.
Now i am not one who wants enormous bass or something, but you know, normal vibrations feeling kind of bass.
That gives you that feeling.

This just, sound like there is bass, but it isn´t there;S

I tried putting on some bass sound through the night, about 10 hours to see if there is any Burn In effect.
It does sound alot better than from when i first listened, cause then it was like a Tin Can or something.
But it still doesn´t give me that Real sound feeling.


sorry for bad explanation, maybe someone knows about these headphones?

I am thinking about sending them back, but i don´t know what to get.
I want something like this, isolation, more comfortable and better sound.


Thanks:)

Every headpone (and speaker) sounds different, and different people are going to have different preferences. If you are picky about sound quality, you should go a store and listen before buying. If you can't do that, you've got to understand that you are taking a risk.

And the specifications are not that helpful either... There are different methods for measuring headphones (and speakers), and with headphones, it's difficult to duplicate interaction with the ear. Plus, some manufacturer's seem to "fudge" the specs. If you've got frequency response curves for two diffeerent headphones, from the same (reputable) manufacturer, that might give you a clue. Curves (or a frequency response spec.) from two different manufacturer's is generally useless.

Several years ago, I decided it was time to upgrade from my Koss HV1's. I went to the store, and after listening to several pairs, I decided none of them sounded as good as my Koss... (Those Koss headphones are now dead and gone. )

I've got a pair of HD280's and Grado SR225. I prefer the "open" Grados when I don't need isolation, but neither pair has that much bass. I've also got a pair of Superlux HD668B's. These have more bass, and the overall sound is not bad. (For the price, it sounds GREAT!) But, I don't actually listen to headphones that often, and I have not done any A/B listening tests... So, I'm not making any recommendations.

Not to sure about how it is with the policy of returning headphones.

Can i return them with that 30 days money back thing?

Of course, that would depend on the seller's policies...
