Thanks, I'm not too big on the AKG set either, I'm actually between the sony
and Sennheiser; as you mentioned, the AKG stuff gets good at a higher cost.
I'm still looking at the beyer stuff, it's a mix of opinions and reviews, it
might be that I'd have to fork out a few more bucks.
If I may ask, what types of recordings do you do? How would you describe the
280's response? Does it get fatiguing on the ears after a while? I'm finding
that this is a prominent issue, either too much bass or too much highs which
tire the ears after a while of listening.
THX, D!J!X!

I personally have the sennheiser HD280 pro and love them. I have had them
for about 3 years now and they are still good enough for my needs and I
don't feal the need to upgrade yet. They are very comfortable to ware for
long periouds of time and gives great isolation especially if you are going
to use them for monitoring when recording, nothing gets out and nothing gets
in.
I personally don't like AKG headphones in this price range you are looking
at, you start getting the propper AKG headphones when going above $500. I
also heard that beyer dynamic makes awesome headphones so check it out, I
unfortunatly can't recommend a spesific model.
You won't go wrong with the HD280 pro
