Title: Best headphones under $250
Review: I initially compared these to my wife's SonySony MDR-V6 Monitor Series Headphones with CCAW Voice Coil. I got them for one primary reason - to block out the white noise at work. The Sony's provided great sound but a little heavy on the bass. They didn't do much to block out the noise.The HD280s block the noise so much that my colleagues throw things at me to get my attention when they come into my cube. They are also quite comfy. They do apply pressure but that's how they create noise isolation. The ear cups could be a little larger but they are comfortable enough to wear for extended periods.The sound is very clear and consistent across a wide dynamic range. You can listen to anything from classical to hard rock and enjoy every note.
