Hi, The Sennheisers I have are the HD280 silver ones and were about $100. They are full over the ear types. I like them as they have a really good bottom end and clean mids and upper range. I like them better than the TBs, but that may be an unfair comparison as the one is stereo and the other is supposed to be 5.1. I suspect that they get the channels from only 4 drivers though. But fitting 2 in each ear cup has to mean that they are smaller than the others that only need one. The TBs are OK for the effects, but a pain to set up right. Since I don't use my PC for any audio and all the video systems are set up for 2 channel only now .... I don't use the TBs. For a long time I used Koss Pro 4AA and Pro 4AAT phones. Clean sound but quite heavy. Nearly indestructible, probably why lots of recording studios seem to have used them. The HD280s are light and comfortable.
