| HD 280 pro – Closed Monitoring Headphone in a Rugged Design |
The HD 280 pro is a closed-back, circumaural headphone designed for professional monitoring applications. Its exceptional attenuation of up to 32 dB makes it particularly useful for use in high-noise environments, in outside broadcasts and for DJs. Featuring rugged design and optimum sensitivity, the HD 280 pro will deliver detailed and natural reproduction of music and speech with a frequency response of 8 to 25,000 Hz (–10 dB).
Due to its collapsible ear-pieces, the HD 280 pro is very space-saving when it comes to transportation. All parts subject to wear and tear – such as earpads, headband padding and cable – are easily replaceable, thus ensuring long service life.
