pro sound if you have the right amplifier.......2007-01-23
the person complaining of bad bass and static highs does not have the right equipment to use with these headphones. i have experienced the "bad bass and static high" on one of my computers that had a cheap built-in sound card. these headphones will reveal the ugly audio output of most computer sound cards. pair this headphone with the right equipment like an m-audio sound card and you will hear clean bass and crisp high tone.
so i suggest TOM, the person who said the head phone is bad, to get a better sound card on his computer.
Good value, but bad bass and high notes.......2006-11-07
For the first year or so I had the headphones, I noticed nothing wrong with them. I guess I was so thrilled to have a set of "pro" headphones that whatever happened I blamed on the computer. However, after noticing that especially high notes did not come out crisply but instead were just scratchy static, and very low bass made the same static-y sound, I sent them to Sennheiser to have them replaced, thinking I must have damaged them somehow. The new ones are just as bad... I don't know why, but they are a fine set if you aren't annoyed at a bit of static, or if you arne't that picky, but quite honestly I wouldn't recommend them.
Quite Literally Euphoric.......2006-09-23
First of all let me say that I bought these for my mp3 player to get the most out of it. It sounds sort of ridiculous because the mp3 player is like 1/10th the size of the headphones, nonetheless that was my purpose for them. Personally I don't care how big the headphones are within reason and these are definitely within reason. Basically when I listen to my music I want to be getting the most out of it whenever I listen to it. I guess you could call me an audiophile even though I had never even heard of the term until a few months ago. These headphones were bought to replace a cheaper version of some Sennheiser's that worked fine, but were just annoying to wear and were giving me headaches. In any case, let me start with that. I find these to be much more comfortable and better built than the ones I had. The actual size of the head phones changes instead of just the position of the earpieces. Also, the cups completely encompass the ear which not only are more comfortable but create a much richer sound. The padding is definitely more on the professional size and feel.
When you look at these headphones the first thing you notice is they have a professional fit and finish to them. For obvious reasons this happens, these are the pro model. They are more like contortionist headphones than any other I have ever seen. There are something like twelve different positions they can be folded into, which allows for storage because they can be bulky. The cord is very nice and thick and coiled so you don't have to worry about it having to be rolled up. It is also pretty much tangle proof. The piece that covers the head is wide and seems very sturdy. From what I can tell so far they are built to last.
Now to talk about the sound. When you first put them on there is a eureka sense that you get if you have sensitive ears. Its like, "What have I been missing?" sort of feeling. It is as if you were looking through a dirty cracked window before, but now it is crystal clear. All ranges can be heard-lows, mids, and highs. To demystify one thing I noticed in other reviews that have been said about these headphones; they do not have any lack of bass-period. In fact I find the bass to be even better than the other cheaper headphones that are bass oriented. This is because you get more out of the bass. You don't just get booming noises, you get the bass guitar, deep sounds, different voice tones and brilliant music. In other words, I would say the bass is not weak, but multidimensional. One way to describe the sound that comes from these headphones is that when you listen on a pair of normal headphones you hear maybe 2 or 3 dynamic parts of the song (bass, vocals and maybe background instruments) On these when they are tuned correctly you will hear all of them-bass, vocals, acoustics, three dimensional sound, other instruments and clarity. This is what I would call a truly high definition sound and is dynamic.
Just purely listening to the headphones is a great experience, but I use two different equalizers on my computer. This ensures THE best possible sound can be attained in my opinion. Sennheiser went to great lengths to engineer these headphones to be replicators, in the sense that they replicate exactly how the music sounded when heard in real life if not better. Everything is crystal clear and these being my first professional set of headphones I am thoroughly impressed. I would consider myself to be a pretty multi-faceted music listener, so I had a chance to test it with rock music, classical, softer music, vocals and music with just a considerable amount of components. Not once would one think that one single genre sounds better than another and I find the equalizer setup I have excellent with any of the music I listen to. Because these are studio quality headphones you would expect them to block out sound. While listening to music they are pretty much impervious to outside sound. Just using them as noise-blockers however I would say they only block maybe 40-60 decibels of sound.
The only real qualm I have with these headphones is the size. This was taken into account when I went searching for a new pair however. I don't plan on using them while running on a treadmill.
The real question is whether or not you should buy it. If you are an audiophile, a person with sensitive hearing who enjoys quality music, a musician or just a purist, then I really think these are a superb value. With an original price of $200 they have really come down to just an enthusiast's price level. Were you a studio employed sound technician, demanded the best of the best quality or are just plain rich then these would not serve your purpose because of course there are better ones out there which can run into the hundreds and thousands even. On the other hand the majority of people are: iPod/mp3 player owners, can't tell the difference between a $20 pair and a $100 pair, plain old music listeners, not wanting to spend the extra money or dont want a couple of princess Leia headphones attached to their head in the gym or walking around. Unfortunately many will not come to know the sublime sounds of the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro because of these very reasons. However, I think that the value is unbeatable. For those who are in that class with me try these out and I doubt you will be dissapointed.
"Pro?" -- How come no reviews?!.......2006-09-14
I'm on a budget, and looking for a good set of cans for a home studio. My headphones have always been supplied by my employer before this, and I'm on a tight budget.
If these are "pro" headphones, how come no audiophile types have rated them???
If you know anything about these, please post it.

Awsome Copier.......2005-10-22
I bought this machine for its compact design and ability to do duplex printing. I have been very pleased with my purchase of the machine as well as the costs for maintenance materials and toner, very reasonable compared to other machines.
The copy quaity is very good, it works great with the standard 20lb paper but work even better with 24lb paper. It's quick and quiet. I have only used the copier featuer of this machine since that is all I needed it for, so I cannot comment on it's other features. But if your looking for a good qualiy copier for a reasonable price this machine is for you.
It does what it was designed to do........2005-06-08
The laser quality double sided printing, and laser quality copying are as good as expected. You can set how long the machine sits idle before it goes into Energy Saver mode. With a touch of the [copy] button, it comes back to life. I had problems with the Sharp scanner software though. I could not use the .TIF formatted output as input to any of my other software products. I found that I already had a graphics program that would "Acquire" the scanned picture in .JPG format, and I was then able to accomplish everything I needed to do. This machine uses 1,000 watts of power when it operates. This may require you to use a heavier weight paper, and 24lb does not seem to curl as bad. I use this machine in addition to a color inkjet printer. I can select which printer to use depending on the needs of the project I am working on. This allows me to always have a backup printer available if the ink supply runs out of one or the other.
This is a great printer!!!.......2004-12-31
So far, I have every reasons to love this printer. Copier, printer and scanner. This unit is great except for the fact that it is missing fax functionality. I bought it on sale @ office depot and so far it has been performing up to expectation. It is great for all it has to offer. Love it!
Impossible Installation!?!.......2004-12-12
I bought this for home use...loved the duplex/copier/scanner functions and my TI Microlaser (circa 1991 is just about dead)... brought it home to install. Finished the install procedures and doesn't do anything (other than make great copies). My jobs go to the print queue and then the printer s/w takes over and tells me that the item is "Scanning" even though there is no action from the unit...it will stay this way for hours.
I reinstall (per the instructions). I try a third time.
I call Sharp's helpdesk. We delete my other drivers (for printers I still use), and reinstall the AL-1641CS. Tech tells me that since I have had a HP driver installed, it will likely never install correctly. I asked, "So, do I put it in the box and take it back to the store?" Tech replies, "Either that or reformat your computer." Hmmmm. I'll try another tech before I haul it back.
Does what it says.......2004-06-03
Very easy to setup this copier, software installed exactly as expected. Software includes product manager software that was very clear when I had an early error during the setup. The software gave me the instructions to fix the error and it worked! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the lack of faxing, but the printing and copying is very good and exceptionally fast. I have tried similar products by HP and the Shartp was much faster and easier to install.
