I'm in the same boat right now. Trying to decide between the MDR-7506 and HD-280.

I want them mainly for tracking, and working on stuff when I need to be quiet or keep other noise out.

I like the way reviewers say the HD-280 is good for isolation, but I don't like the heavier bass. I'd rather the more detailed mids of the MDR-7506, but people say the pads wear out quick and they are uncomfortable.

There's no easy answer to this price range headphone, or is there??
