I own the Sennheiser HD280Pro and they're incredible. Some pairs need to be broken in so you won't get that good sound immediately but they're easily the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. I think you'll be more than satisfied with them.

hows the bass

Accurate describes it best. Low frequencies sound great. The bass is going to sound how it was meant to sound. If you want to turn the bass up on whatever your source it, the headphones can take it but I don't fiddle with it.

Realistically, any headphones that overproduce bass aren't good headphones. The bass varies between songs like its suppose to and not bassy on every song because every song wasn't meant to be that way. You may come across songs with weak kicks probably due to them having bass-heavy equipment in their studio causing accurate sound reproduction headphones like these to expose that fact or they just didn't want bass. Then you will come across the songs with great bass. Anything that doesn't sound bassy isn't the headphones fault here because they're extremely accurate.

Get out to a shop bro, take a CD and listen to them. People don't know what they're listening for, and you can pretty much discount 99% of the reviews on the internet. I've gt a pair of sennheiser hd250's and they're rubbish. No mid, they sound 'impressive' but are in no way right. The best pair of headphones I've had were a little pair of Sony's - they just sat on the ear rather than covering it, and they were stunning.

By all means buy online, but get out to a hi-fi shop and check out their stock. You'll be surprised how rarely money equates to quality
