These headphones feature an extended frequency response with an increased sound pressure level of up to 110dB for accurate sound reproduction. The folding design and carrying case provide easy portability.
I have owned my Sennheiser HD 280s for a long time. I wanted another pair for work. I got a little extra money for my birthday and decided to try the step up. The low end is better than the HD 280s, and at least equal with them in all other areas. The most notable improvement over the HD 280s is fit and comfort. These are noticeably lighter on my head and very comfortable for long periods. If you are looking for the best sound for the best price, I would go with the HD 280s, but the HD 380s are a great improvement in comfort while also maintaining the Sennheiser professional quality sound, and even improving upon it.
What's great about it: Sound Quality, Comfort, portability
