Frequently Asked Questions
The HD-25s are generally considered more premium with better overall sound, but the 280 Pros offer excellent value and comparable isolation for the price.
While the new headband is improved, the clamping force can still be fatiguing; it's best to try them on if possible, especially if you have a larger head.
They’re primarily designed for DJing, but the clear sound signature makes them acceptable for casual listening, though not a substitute for dedicated studio headphones.
