difference between Sennheiser HD 555 or Sennheiser HD 280 PRO

[Mr.Macroney]

As I am music lover therefore I wanted to buy a good headphone. It will be also used for watching movies and gaming especially Counter Strike Source. So I was looking on the internet and found these two headphones - Sennheiser HD 555 and Sennheiser HD 280 PRO. Both headphones seems to be good but I cant decide which one to choose. So can anyone tell me the difference between Sennheiser HD 555 or Sennheiser HD 280 PRO so that I can make my mind for one of these headphones. Or any other recommendations will also do. Thank you

I own both the 212 Pros and the Sennheiser 555's. Since you are looking for a portable solution I would not recommend the 555's

They leak way too much sound and their form factor (too big !) doesnt lend itself so well to mobile listening

I own a Sennheiser HD280 Pro, it is one of my favourite for home listening out the older ones from brandless which I was using in the past. The HD280 Pro is closed back, yes, but the sound is EXTREMELY clear on them and they are very accurate, and that's why they are highly rated everywhere and widely used commercially.
Hope that helps

Have you tried 3 new series of headphones from Sennheiser that are the CX II, IE and MM series or the Refurbished Sennheiser HD650 / HD-650 Stereo Headphone which will suit your case anytime.
