I just recieved my Sennheiser HD280's in the mail yesterday, and before really putting them through their paces, I already like them alot. I read a few posts on this forum, as well as a few reviews, which can be found here:

Like I said, I haven't really put them through their paces yet, other than just doing some test monitoring through my DVX, and listening to my mp3 player with them...BTW, I wouldn't recommend them for easy listening with an mp3 player, as the player doesn't seem to have enough power to really make them sound decent. Next week I am going to use them with an m-box/protools at school and see how they sound. They are pretty darn comfortable, and fit nicely over the ears. Previously I was using a cheap 20 dollar set of Sony's and while they sounded OK, the fact that they didn't fit OVER my ears was really annoying. I give a thumbs up to the HD280's, good isolation, good comfort, and very well constructed.

Good for you! There's no substitute for comfy headphones when you're shooting or editing & unable to use monitors.

That being said, I STILL love my Sony 7506s!

The only thing that makes me nervous about the 7506's are those spindly little cables connecting the ear pieces to the head band. I have awful visions of throwing them in my bag, and upon pulling them out having those little cables get snagged on something and getting the dreaded headphone cord yank syndrome. I am sure they are excellent headphones though, I mean, they don't become the industry standard for nothing!
 
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD580's and I love them. I think the Sennheisers (all of them, not just the 580's) are hands-down without question no doubt the most comfortable headphones out there. I can wear these literally all day w/o an issue, and they do sound great. The Sony's are nice cause of how they fold up, which is pretty important for some applications. But nothing beats the gentle hold of velvety Sennheisers (physically and sonically) on my head. ;)
