Introduction

During my early LAN party going days (small, private ones) I always dragged my speakers along with me, after a while it just became a hassle to bring them along. Finally, I decided to start bringing some small lightweight headphones along with me instead of my speakers. Sony MDR-CD60 were the first headphones I bought since they had a good reputation for making quality headphones. They were alright for the time being, but the headphones were completely flat and had no bass whatsoever and just weren't cutting it anymore (plus it's left channel stopped working anyways!). I set on a quest this time to buy some new high quality headphones that would be long lasting like the old school Sony MDRV6 headphones. After a week or so of researching and comparing I decided on the Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones; it was at a decent price and had great sound quality!
