Professional monitoring headphones
The Sennheiser HD280PRO is a closed dynamic stereo headphone built for studio and DJ monitoring. Its circumaural ear cups provide up to 32dB of ambient noise attenuation, letting you hear detail without raising volume. The collapsible design folds into a compact form for transport between sessions. A single-sided coiled cable extends from 3.3 to 9.8 feet, reducing clutter on crowded desks or booths.
Check connector and impedance match
Verify that your audio interface, mixer or portable device offers a 3.5mm or 6.3mm output; both plugs are supplied via the included screw-type adapter. The nominal input impedance is 64 ohms, so confirm your source can drive this load cleanly at the required listening level. Sensitivity is rated at 102 dB SPL, which determines how loud the headphones play for a given source voltage. No battery or external power is needed.
Fits stationary and mobile rigs
Rotating ear cups allow single-ear monitoring while the headband rests on your shoulders during breaks. The coiled cable stays out of the way when you are seated at a console, yet stretches to reach rack-mounted gear across a rack bay. Weighing 7.80 oz without cable, the headphones add minimal fatigue during extended tracking or mixing sessions. The closed-back design prevents bleed into open microphones in the same room.

Questions about this item
Does the package include the 6.3 mm adapter or must I buy it separately?
The box contains one pair of HD 280 PRO headphones and a screw-type 6.3 mm adapter, so no extra purchase is needed for that connection.
Should I pick the 3.5 mm or 6.3 mm connector for studio monitoring?
Both connectors are supplied; the 3.5 mm plug fits portable gear and the screw-on 6.3 mm adapter fits professional audio interfaces.
How loud will 102 dB sensitivity play on a typical audio interface?
At 102 dB SPL the headphones reach high listening levels with modest amplifier voltage, suitable for detailed monitoring at 64 ohms nominal impedance.
