I'd agree that they're not reference-quality, probably because they pack too much bass. They seem to have a real emphasis in the lower end that makes them great for pop/hip-hop/rock but less solid for other applications. Still, they're pretty good for everyday use here in our studio, they're really sturdy, and though they get hot in the summer, they're pretty comfortable. Let us know about the Sennheisers though. I'm always looking for creative reasons to upgrade ;) I’ve never tried the SennHD280 Pros, but I do have 2 sets of the AKG 240S.

I believe that if you surveyed 100 sound professionals picked at random, you'd find that the most popular headsets are Sony, such as the MDR-7506 ($99 typical). These aren't mentioned on the Headroom site as far as I can tell. Note that the Headroom website sells headphones, and they only list the brands they sell, which is far from inclusive.
