coupla questions about these headphones:
1. does anyone have anything bad to say about the sennheiser hd280s? they look like what i want in headphones (closed, good response, moderate/low impedance) i just wanna make sure there aren't any horror stories.
2. comfort - i'll be wearing these a few hours a day, everyday... they should be comfy. how big are the earcups relative to the hd202's? the 202's seem a bit small for my ears (cup size-wise) so a bit bigger would be nice. experiences with long term wear?
3. where to buy? i found them for $80 on bayview pro audio any opinions on this seller?
4. is a headphone amp necessary for decent volume/bass response? i have an asus with soundstorm if it makes a difference. i am planning to upgrade to an offboard solution (probably envy-24 based) eventually, but it'll work for now.
a search for "hd280 bad" didn't turn up anything in computer audio, so i'm assuming they have few, if any, problems.
thanks.
