Sony Studio Monitor MDR-V600 Stereo Headphone (Binaural - Ear-cup)
Summary: Nearly all of the reviews for these Sony headphones were for four or five stars because of the quality of construction and the quality of the audio as well. Some did say they didn't sound as good as more expensive Sony headphones and strangely gave it a one-star rating, but they were in the minority. Most consumers realized that better products cost more money. With that said, they were very pleased with the quality of these headphones for the price. If you want a good mid-level price for headphones, this is a good pick. The fact that these headphones are very comfortable was also pointed out by more than one person.

Sennheiser HD280 Professional Headphone (Binaural - Ear-cup)
Summary: While more expensive than other headphones, this set from Sennheiser was well regarded, where more than half of reviewers left five-star ratings. The size is large (like the price), but this wasn't a problem with people who fell in love with the sound they were capable of producing. They were recommended more for people who work with sound professionally than those who listen to music for pleasure. Many were happy with them for listening to music, but some mentioned that this isn't what they're constructed to do best. This is where some of the problems came in from those who left negative one-star reviews. Some mentioned problems with automated shipping sending the wrong unit while others talked about the plastic band breaking, but many more were very happy with these professional headphones from Sennheiser.
